A series of successive and evermore complete interaction matrixes between a number of the most important systemists and cyberneticians, established by Guenther KÚPPERS of Bielefeld University (Heinz von FOERSTER and Monika BRUECKER, 2002, p. 268-69)} Template:Ency end
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.
