A good summary of just about everything I find interesting

Now here's a hell of an infographic: a history, timeline, and taxonomy of complex adaptive system dynamics. I'll get to every bubble one of these days.... no I swear...

Who's the author of this diagram. Do you think they'd be open to additions to it? It's great visually, though and I'd add it to the references in my EOE article on Complex Systems sciences. http://www.eoearth.org/article/Complex_systems.

I think it's missing quite a large area of the systems practice sciences that spun off the Ashby/Bertalanffy/Wiener root in particular. The representational systems sciences produce vivid representations, but don't connect very well with the naturally occurring physical systems the practice professions deal with all the time. So, every community of environmental scientists dealing with real world complex systems seemed to develop their own systems theories to fill that gap, I think. Mostly found the use of representational models useful as learning tools but defective as representational tools... My own 'branch', looking at complex systems as the design processes of nature, might be the only rigorous physics based systems applications practice approach.

Hah, I actually don't know, and to be totally candid I lifted it from Wikipedia via creative commons, from the complexity theory article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Complexity-map-overview.png

I can't take the slightest bit of credit for it, I just found it mesmerizing and inspirational. I can't quite tell the author from the credits page, perhaps you can.

Thanks for your comment, reading your link now... as much as I'm a fan of these strains of research I can't honestly say that I'm current in the field, if anything this is an "aspirational" roadmap, and it's interesting to add new lines of study, hence the attraction to this great image.

I am glad you are in the place where you can use your gifts. Your story sounds very similar to mine. I have had a blast these last 18 months. I am tired but very fulfilled and know that i am doing what God created me to do. Thanks for sharing and know that I am praying for you in your time of transition. Always available if you need to talk with another camp guy. Change is great.
