Hello all... Glad to see most if not all of you made it over for the transition. The old list will run concurrently for a while so I will forward any messages...
John, I have a different view of emergence. On every level of scale, events emerge -- whether sub-atomic particles, molecules, cells, organisms, ecosystems,...
Lewis, One of the really good examples of engineers NOT using emergence is the way so many superhighways have been plagued by overcapacity from the time they...
to Complex-M from Lewis L. Smith In my understanding, complexity and risk management are closely related. This is because complexity...

to Complex-M from Lewis L Smith Ken is quite right. In fact, it is well known at least among some energy and some...

Kurt: Didja hear the one about the young civil engineer that proposed covering the roads with ice year 'round to make them safer since ice slows down traffic...
Dear List, An example of using or engineering emergence seems to be the slashdot.org story. One of my colleagues is really inspired by this, how a few simple...
Ken, We have had many discussions on this list in the past between those who are Christians and those who are not. I have tremendous respect for you and have...
(in the context of 'emergence' and 'complexity' and that context's manifestation in our everyday lives....) Hi all, This 'introduction' leads into a piece on...
Hi - if so, why this particular God - Christ - and not any of the others? all the best, Monica ... From: Buck Lawrimore To: ISCE_complex-M@yahoogroups.com ...
To all: For several decades, I have been attempting to understand and model general social and physical systems with a few simple ideas. Most recently, I have...
Buck, Sorry. I find your 'complexity' too simplistic. It is from a "within" in a select group of peoples' (ie. humans) behavioral domain. We had some arguments...
Dear Marty, I liked your ice-covered highway story, a friend of mine replied that he knows that engineer who works in the Highway Dep. of NJ.... With this...
John, But we must recognize that humans (apparently) have a need for religious, 'mind controlling' social phenomena.. Regards, Frank Smits Symphoenix Ltd Tel:...
Kurt, Nice one. I would say instead of 'using emergence', 'understanding the nature of emergence' but the core of the message is the same! Note that in my work...
All, Even as an atheist I can understand the need for people to want to believe in a God and use that as a basis for their thinking. Interestingly, the latest...
Hi, Frank, here is to your 3 consecutive posts. (BTW: I missed the explanatory part of the 'subject' as a "Business Network" - I hope theoretical wordsmithing...
Of course there is the possibility of emergence. But I somehow cannot see myself as a Born Again Christian. :-) Regards, Frank Smits Symphoenix Ltd Tel: +44...
John, In general, I have not found the use of religious arguments helpful in discussions on science and human relating. Those who participated on Complex-M...
From Corrado Morozzo Dear participants of the ISCE complex-M, list, I have enjoyed, for some time already, your posting and views about complexity, and pleased...
Frank, it is a noble, elitist position to occupy yourself only with things that benefit your interest/knowledge. Unfortunately things happen beyond that and...
to Complex M from Lewis L Smith Over the last few years I have read a great many definitions of complexity, some by some very...

John, I think our views are very close. It would be rather foolish to say that I am 'only occupied with things that benefit my interest/knowledge'. Even if it...
