Anybody?



On another list I mentioned RR and received the included reply (I insert my post as well). I am NOT the person to 'teach' about RR and his books are disattractive to many in not the proper domain. (I could not read them either).
The list (as is Buck) is mostly composed of management consultants pursuing the complexity-related ways - not in Rosen-terms.
Anybody wants to give hints what to read, or even hints what Rosenism could be concentrated into for econo-people? (a personal e-mail to Buck may trickle down into the list). No deterrent communications, please! I wouldn't use to them "impredicative", "Turing non-computable", or "anticipatory" etc.

John,
Very interesting. Could you share more about Robert Rosen's ideas? This
is news to me.
