Christian:  The allusion was to work in the non-linear dynamics of
sociology...not sociology per se...sorry if I didn't make that clear.

And...if you know of others outside of those in Texas doing good work
on non-linear social dynamics, I'd be most interested in hearing about
it since I do try to stay current.

To add to your point, however, I can say that Dragan Milovanovic and
Bruce Arrigo and Ron Scherh are doing work on non-linear social
processes but it is not empirically grounded is the stuff in Texas.
Then there is the Santa Fe Institute...again, largely conceptual.
I think the work important but just now, we need the analytic tools
and research designs of the sort listed in the tutorial...
