Thank you, David, for your comment!
I will definitely check your link about Technological Transition. For one essay this topic is too large, but as an idea of mixing different disciplines and researches, I think is good.
Thank you again, David!

Hi all,

Interesting thoughts, Caroline. Let’s see if we can put your two paragraphs together. Theorists like Miller and Holling have thought long and hard about the general principles of how things work – ecosystems, all living beings, etc. If their thinking is correct (even to some degree) then those principles will also affect the things that we…[Read more]

First, yes, you are absolutely right, this article “incubates different terms, quotes to different articles and ideas that some one else has pointed out.” Basically, you are stepping into the middle of an academic argument, trying to weave different strains of ideas together in new ways. You might note first that the article references a book…[Read more]

Thank you for your answer Gary. You might have sensed my mood of frustration from the post, but I have to correct that I am still optimistic about systems thinking. Academic writing as such is not the problem, but it was this particular article that got me upset – it might have been just too abstract for a beginner. In fact I listened one of…[Read more]

Great video, Saara-Maria. I had not gotten to it, so I appreciate your bringing it to my attention. As for your frustration, you will find ideas and authors that fit what you need at different times. Russ Ackoff had a particularly direct way of getting to the root of issues. The article by Leleur was written to an academic audience for the…[Read more]

You are obviously a big thinker, Roman. (Welcome to the world of systems!) Please don’t try to cover all of this in your final paper for this class – or I won’t live long enough to grade it. But it is very worthwhile to see what sense you can make of some of the linkages between support and collapse. Looking at the model of complex adaptive…[Read more]

Thank you, Gary! I have followed your advice and changed the topic of my essay, but I hope you will still like it. It is about combining Technological Transition with Adaptive Cycle in attempt to predict and direct radical innovations http://www.dip.ee/systems/. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Systemicists: 6 months, 1 week agoHello Gary,
Here is my 3rd Day post.https://cs0004.wordpress.com/2011/11/14/session-three/
Thanks a lot for your awesome lectures.

Your post is nicely done, Anahita. Choosing both articles about Living Systems – the theory and an application – is a good way to help make sense of some very complicated ideas.
(And you’re welcome, for the lectures.)

You are right, Haeyeon, there is no one, absolute or panacea model. But you have done a very nice job of summarizing three important and useful ones.

Very nicely done, Jin. You have applied the systems principles well to a very real and important topic. (And of course the real work is in designing a truly sustainable alternative, which would actually be adopted in the markets of the world.)

Systemicists: 6 months, 1 week agoDear 1st year CS’ers as sytemicists. If it is any help to you, you can check my blog as well. I’ve gone through the same courses, although under the guidance of the great David Ing. The blog is categorized by courses and on first page there’s some random blog entries that are (unsurprisingly) quite system-heavy. But the same courses and their…[Read more]

Thank you for joining the discussion, Janne, and for sharing what looks to be some very serious work on systems ideas.

Even though you don’t reference any of the articles, Suvi, your post is actually a very nice application of many systems ideas and principles – especially related to real questions about urban planning. There certainly are ways to try to manage or regulate people, but they ways in which people communicate, congregate, “swarm,” and so on, are…[Read more]
