- Hi
-
- I'm a PhD student in the Department of Science and Technology Studies here.
- one of the things I'm looking at is Chaos theory as a competitor to Systems
- theory a La Ludwig Von Bertalanffy, Fred Emery, Thomas Parke Hughes et al,
- and also as a competitor to Actor-Network theory a la Michele Callon,
- Bruno Latour et al. I was wondering if anyone out there knows any sources
- on Chaos theory applied to large scale technological systems?.
- Has anyone attempted this yet. It's an obvious to do but as yet I
- can't find anything on it. Any thoughts, discussions on this would also
- be most welcome by the way.
-
- Thanks
