Specific Works

I employ the title "Systems Theory" to encompass my perspective on the entire subject of "science". My sense is that it is far to easy to compartmentalize the scientific enterprise into "disciplines" and so lose sight of the fact that science is the empirical study of nature, and nature is a singular entity.

True enough, I am also a "Systems Theorist" in the sense that I view natural processes systems that dynamically exist at many levels of resolution: spatial, temporal, organizational, connectional, etc., and I see my goal as study of these systems and the elucidation of the laws an principles that govern their behavior and development.
