>While I agree that nitty gritty formalizations are important to grasp, it's been made clear that the formal sciences were often insufficient in facilitating insight on the type of complexity cyberneticians cared about -- especially that of process oriented circular causality, which often involved paradox and self-reference.
I wholeheartedly agree. Hence why I think we are dealing with an entirely new type of science, the basic principles and theorems are yet to be discovered.
Lots of interesting pointers and links throughout. Thanks again!
