Thinking about the Rosennean challenge

[Jack Park <***>]

My friend, Tom Munnecke, gave two links in another forum on the web. 
They are:

http://www.orgnet.com/BuildingNetworks.pdf
and
http://www.econ.iastate.edu/tesfatsi/netgroup.htm

I see some connections between these two URLs and the challenge Judith 
poses to this community. The connections are based, I think, on the 
notion that we, here, are busy taking on the physics community, when, at 
the same time, others are already doing things that are intrinsically, 
and intensely relational in nature, and without benefit of any ideas 
about what is the core subject of this forum. I strikes me that the road 
ahead lies more in the ground-breaking science, or lack of it, that is 
now the web, the communities (read: organisms) forming on that web, and 
in the learning opportunities that arise within and between those 
communities.

I think that I am suggesting that the time has past to attempt to 
enlighten physists (if, indeed, that is necessary, sufficient, or even a 
logical goal one might place on a challenge). Rather, I think,  the time 
has come for the arguments and the technology, which one imagines 
Rosennean Complexity to embrace, to be taken, in a down and (not too) 
dirty, hands-on fashion, to an environment in which the nature of 
entrenched sensibilities has yet to mature. In the spirit of emergence, 
I think the rest will take care of itself.
