Marty, that's all human what you say. We - and probably many other animals - are visually founded, which does not imply all other kinds. I have a well trained...
If you want to look at studies on the way that odour is recognised in dogs (or rabbits) then look up Freemans' work Dave Snowden Founder & Chief Scientific...
Pretty crisp. There are more than one Freemans. The one which comes to mind (Walter) wrote many books and published lots of papers. Could you be more...

This reminds me of an example of an algorithm used to help visualize biological entities, that could also solve suduko puzzles. I don't remember the details...
Jerry, and all, Have you ever read "The Logic of Symbolic Forms", by Ernst Cassirer. I have a strong hunch that biological logic does in fact correlate with...

Jerry, This is a great article. There is the built-in tension between innovation and efficiency. The basis for this, if you ask me, is for any organization to...
Frank, Jerry, It seems this is the main purpose of the complexity model, to show how to reach this balance. Toyota, is one of the best, if not the best,...
Frank, Your post caught my eye, Carl Popper had a lot to say on this subject, and his more recent advocate Nassim Nicholas Taled (The Black Swan) is a case in...
Jon, Is this a 'balance' as you propose? I would suggest it is far from some sort of equilibrium. That is why it is so difficult to comprehend and come up with...
I picked up Business Week coming through LAX last week and by coincidence was in the Twin Cities a few weeks ago at 3M for a brief visit. I blogged my response...

Frank if you read what I say, you will see that I argue that Six Sigma is valid within boundaries. I fully agree with you on "human" and "living" systems by...
Lewis, Like yourself I am reading the book. Of particular interest to me is the Medicrestan and Extremistan examples of influence and cennectivity and the...
Dear Jon, and list, if any are interested, Took a while for me to mull this over, my days of replying immediately are over. Anyway, I have some questions to...
Hi Deborah, Glad you re-emerged, and sorry I never got back to your last response. I just want to make a few quick comments and will try to give a more ...
Frank, Jerry, all, I guess I use the word "balance" loosely. I mean more of a dynamic interplay-a kind of a global balance, which I think complexity theory...
The interesting thing about Toyota is that they had never heard of Six Sigma there. They use the old tqm approach, and all the basic tools started by Deming....
