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...
Sincere apologies for cross-postings. We recently received a number of requests from our colleagues asking for a submission deadline extension since they have...
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...
Dear John, Well, I imagine this is one of the questions my French defense will put to me soon! It is a fascinating question. And I appreciate your interest! I...
Dear Jenni, if you have 2nd thoughts about 'boring' the entire list, I may receive your (detailed?) version in my mailbox (jamikes@...). John ... From:...
Don't worry about boring the list. There are lots of us lurkers out here looking for mental stimulation. Share your thoughts, Jennifer. Thanks, Buck Lawrimore ...
OK! I enjoyed the post from Lewis Smith. Can't help thinking about economics these days! So I'll get back to the list after a trip I'm taking. Wish I'd found...

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...
This concern around definitions reminds me of my dissertation. I started looking for a definition of complex adaptive systems theory to use for a study of...
Steven, nice post and attached text-excerpt. I was a fan of CAS in the last millennium (i.e. in the 90s) when it downed on me that a 'system' (any) will not...
I liked that Steven. Propose a thread. Apply complexity to it. Keep it simple, that is the best experiment. Starting from your metaphor of "red". Choose a...
Steven, it seems we are bugged down into our self-inflicted models<G> and I see no easy way to approach a satisfactory halt to it. I enjoy it and try to pick...
Deborah, Great idea. The key challenge for each contributor to the thread would be to avoid describing anything/everything in terms of things "we all...
