2nd Edition, as published by Charles François 2004 Presented by the Bertalanffy Center for the Study of Systems Science Vienna for public access.

About

The International Encyclopedia of Systems and Cybernetics was first edited and published by the system scientist Charles François in 1997. The online version that is provided here was based on the 2nd edition in 2004. It was uploaded and gifted to the center by ASC president Michael Lissack in 2019; the BCSSS purchased the rights for the re-publication of this volume in 200?. In 2018, the original editor expressed his wish to pass on the stewardship over the maintenance and further development of the encyclopedia to the Bertalanffy Center. In the future, the BCSSS seeks to further develop the encyclopedia by open collaboration within the systems sciences. Until the center has found and been able to implement an adequate technical solution for this, the static website is made accessible for the benefit of public scholarship and education.

KÜPPERS MATRIXES 2)

← Back

A series of successive and evermore complete interaction matrixes between a number of the most important systemists and cyberneticians, established by Günther KÜPPERS of Bielefeld University (Heinz von FOERSTER and Monika BRÖCKER, 2002, p. 268-69)

The matrixes impressively show the progressive integration of the system-cybernetics field through evermore complex and active reciprocal influences of the most innovative researchers in Physics, Chemistry, Ecology, Biology, Psychology, Information Theory, Philosophy and Systems and Cybernetics proper. They cover four successive periods: 1965-69; 1970-74; 1975-79 and 1980-83.

The matrixes are based on citations indexes. It would be important to further extend the matrixes and include new researchers for the successive subsequent periods of five years. The appearance of new people (for ex. THOM, E. LORENZ, BAK) and new concepts (fractals, self organized criticality, apoptosis, etc.) This is certainly a new step toward a more complete integration of the transdisciplinarian framework.
