Hi Complex people! Anyone still out there? I came across only a couple of pages of a paper by Jerry Chandler on perplex logic and other thing I didn't really...
Reading Jerry Chandler's paper on perplex logic, chemical and biological logic, also reminded me of a paper I read on systematics, by none other than John...
I am, and I read. A laugh, and a cry for this one. Well, no actual tears. I read carefully. At first I smiled, a good laugh. Makes light of the confusion...
Hi Deborah, Thanks for you response. I'm glad to see someone is out there. I wasn't going for laughter or tears, but at least you felt something. I was just...
Dear Complexity Colleagues, Currently I'm finishing a PhD on complexity theories and the environmental crisis, focusing on climate change, and I am looking for...
Dear Jennifer, very impressive calling card. Could you briefly describe what do you call 'complexity' of which you seem to know (plusieur) 'theories' ? Is...
Dear John and company, My favorite definition of theory is from 1653, W. HARVEY Anat. Exercit. Pref. v, "All their theory and contemplation (which they count...

Dear Jennifer, you seem to have answered to "company", not me. I asked for your tenet about 'complexity', not 'theory' - AND: YOUR opinion, not what "people...

Here here . . . well said Buck, I was beginning to think that we had the start of something interesting here. It's a long time since we've had something as...
Now I am confused. Not exactly a bad state of mind. :) I think it would be wonderful if the list came up with its old vigor. Debates and heated arguments and...
Buck, I appreciate your reply to Jenni, - however - what I had in the back of my mind was not an 'entertainment-style' boring only. It was some freer exchange...
Dear Deb, I don't "give you hell". I am still with you in our old (2 decades almost) e-friendship. On this list and outside it. Just keep kicking! JohnM ... ...
John, Thanks but we don't want you to keep Jenni all to yourself. After all, you do have a reputation for being outrageous, and she seems like such a nice...
