A DVD copy of an interview of Warfield conducted by Hilary Austin, a graduate student at GMU, on 20 March 1986. This is the second of two interviews and is conducted in the Demosophia Room at GMU. During the interview Warfield responds to questions, explains his rationale for writing the paper Domain of Science, and discusses how his “Cosmic Partition” differs from Alexander Christakis’s “Cosmology.” Following the interview there is a ten minute segment of another video in which Christakis talks about the Interactive Management process and how it is used at the Center for Interactive Management. For more on Warfield’s Cosmic Partition see “Relating the Blocks of the Cosmic Partition”and “Developing a Design Culture in Higher Education: Some Laws and Principles of Design.”

Christakis and Warfield each give short talks and then respond to questions from the audience. The class title “Deseno de Sistemas,” translates as Systems Design, or Generic Design.

Am audio recording of a June 2, 1989 discussion between Warfield and Professor William J. Reckmeyer, who ran a Cybernetics Systems Program at San Jose State University in California and was interested in starting a similar program at George Mason University.



A taped discussion between Warfield and a colleague, possibly Margaret Heath. During their conversation Warfield discusses his work in the Systems Field and various Systems concepts. His extemporaneous oral explanations are often more accessible than some of his published writings and might be a good place to start for people unfamiliar with his work.
