This conference has established a tradition of informality both
in style and substance that features open discussion and mutually respectful
interactions among participants. It is open to metaphoric as well as formal
explorations of systems/integrative thinking into science (including
psychological, social, biological disciplines, mathematical, and logical
disciplines), education, the humanities, society, and philosophy. We range
over rather diverse subjects in philosophy, education, research, social
applications, and theory. Whether based on presenters’ published materials or
works-in-process presented for feedback and collaborations, we have been
fortunate to have been exposed to so many fresh, innovative, often
ground-breaking, ways of approaching and/or perceiving the world around us.
This web site can change on any day as we add participants, titles,
abstracts, and commentary. The parts of this site are (1) this home page
(scroll down for list of participants and titles to date), and (2) The
Snowflake 2009 Newsletter is now replaced by our Implexi Mundi web site,
(link above right; you will have to register to cruise through the
abstracts/articles, commentaries, and pictures of the participants. There are
also links to earlier Winter Conferences and Snowflake Newsletters. The
conference self-organizes; the schedule is sketched out at the beginning of
the conference but adjusted at times.
Dynamical Systems includes not only dynamics, but other approaches in
complexity and integrative science, art, and the humanities. The meetings will be at: The Conference Room Center for Human Development 332 Birnie Avenue Springfield, MA Since we
start Friday morning, remember to book for Thursday night if you can’t get
there by 8:30 AM Friday. |
