Blueberry Brain Institute's
11th
Annual Winter Chaos Conference
Dynamical
Systems Thinking in Science and Society
March 12-14, 2004
Stony
Creek, CT, USA
This conference has established a tradition of informality
both in style and substance. It is open to metaphoric as well as formal
explorations of systems/holistic thinking to science, society, and philosophy,
not necessarily in that disorder. It is a small conference and features open
discussion.
The conference will start about 9am Friday
the 12th and end mid Sunday the 14th afternoon. For those
arriving Thursday, we will designate a restaurant or lodge for informal dining
and conversation. The sessions will be in Jeffrey Goldstein’s home. There is no
registration fee, but we add up the modest costs, and suggest a sharing at the
Sunday lunch, usually in the $25+/@ ballpark.
