Well, sometimes too much should be enough already(!) I seem to keep looking under the rocks as if to see where their legs are, and it do mystify folk somet'n terrible... I just find data shape analysis an absolutely wonderfully source for complex system discoveries. Yea, it's a very different technique, but I picked it when I was looking for a vehicle because it asks great questions about what's not on the page, and directly links complex systems inquiry with plentiful high quality DATA reflecting things in our world with emergent complexity that really matters to us personally. I finally got around to writing a new summary of my method this weekend [http://www.synapse9.com/ObservingSystems.pdf]. Yea, well, it's a little much.
You know how (speaking here to the old timers I guess) we all thought the information age wouldn't really amount to very much, but there were all these 'visionaries' running around describing the unbelievable world we have with us today? Systems knowledge is like that too, you know. Simply the audacity of the leap I'm directly asking people to consider making should cause 99% or more to just throw up their hands in dismay. It's not that there's so much I'm saying that others haven't said before... It's just that I'm making it real. There's no reflection on you if you don't, but the honest response if you get it might be just to sit down and cry. as always, the best questions are the dumb obvious ones, the kind you're tempted to think you're supposed to already know all about...
