Discussion Listserver - You can access the archives of this on-going discussion
of complexity or sign up and participate.
Principia Cybernetica Web
- This site is provided by Dr. Francis Heyleign at the Free University of
Brussles. It was a multi-year project to build a semantic web of ideas about
complexity and cybernetics. It has many interesting ideas to explore and links
to other resources. Had a discussion list too, not sure if its still active.
Complex-M Discussion
Listserver - A general complexity list discussion - some very good people
on this. Access the archive and/or join the discussion.
The Santa Fe Institute - A renouned
institute for "complexity science" - tends toward computational
complexity according to Rosen. See their publications section.
New England Complex Systems Institute -
another complexity shop. Like Sante Fe Institute it also tends toward the
computational/structural concepts - what Rosen would call "complicated
systems" to distinguish them from his version of fundamental complexity.
International Society for the Systems Sciences
(ISSS) - This is the primary systems science society founded on the ideas
of Ludwig Von Bertalanfy. Perhaps best described as "applied systems
philosophy." Many interesting resrouces - see the list of past presidents
for a veritable "who's who" in deep systems thinking.
Institute of General Semantics
- The definitive "non-Aristotelean" society, with methods for recovering
from syntactic thinking. You be the judge.
