Talk:Counterintuitive Behavior of Social Systems

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This page is an attempt to present an IMHO worthwhile quote from Jay Forrester. My previous attempt to present this was a page with a bolded quote and no links. This time I didn't use bold, and I put in some links to show why I think it's relevant.

I don't think this belongs in Category:Semantic web. Any number of things might have "potential applications to semiotics, artificial intelligence, and the semantic web", but that doesn't mean those categories apply. Surely we can find a better one. johndburger 15:38, 3 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Notability[edit]

Is this notable. I found it out of context and meaningless, but I am an engineer. Needs more explanation or deletion or slotting into an article od decision making Cosnahang (talk) 09:51, 3 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

On further consideration:

  1. Reading the original, which started; 'Mental models are fuzzy, incomplete, and imprecisely stated.' I grasped the context etc. & understood why it is such a great quote
  2. I merged it into the flame wars article and marked this one for deletion.

user:SoWhy removed the delete tag because -

Decline speedy - neither is this a valid reason for deletion nor would it be. This article is about the paper, not the term "flame wars".

  • Anonymous coward: Well, if this paper is not notable, I do not know what would be. It is one of the most influential papers of that age in system dynamics/ system modeling area. Although its numerical conclusions proved to be wrong, it was an eye-opener on the applicability of the system complexity on common human systems. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.156.110.33 (talk) 15:01, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
