Joe, All ...
The reason I've been maintaining an interdisciplinary perspective in my
postings to the Ontolog Forum, Structural Modeling, and Systems Science
groups is because each one stresses a distinct but necessary aspect of
a systems approach to scientific inquiry. I see much potential to be
had in integrating these views of the inquiry process, but it will
take a lot more thought and work to fully develop that potential.
The feature that jumps out at me as I scan the discussions on this thread --
and I've said this before about most of the discussions of systems I've
seen in these groups -- is the static nature of the pictures of systems
people are laying out. Whereas, for me, my whole reason for taking up
a systems approach to inference, information, inquiry, along with the
symbol systems we use to conduct their transactions, is to tease out
the shape and flow and dynamics of their transformations.
Regards,
Jon
