The Cynefin Framework: another way to deal with things, problem, situations, and crisis.
Cynefin Framework is very intelligent methodology to handle things, problems, situations, and crisis. Traditional Chinese Medicine has been using this for thousands of years, but SNOWDEN has it all analyzed and written down. Thank you Mr SNOWDEN! Let’s start doing more Systems Thinking rather than just Critical Thinking and Reductionistic Thinking.

Happy Chinese Year 2019 with wisdom, 2019豬年智慧日增
Happy Chinese New Year! The year of good knowledge and wisdom has officially started ^o^. I wish you all to be benefited from the wisdom of the ancient Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, and Traditional Chinese Medicine (儒釋道醫), and the wisdom of modern systems sciences (系統論
). Hope that these wisdom will bring you all happiness, healthiness and harmonies in the coming year.

配合排毒過程的清肝利膽的食療 rrrhh
排毒的其中一個主要出口是肝臟系統（包括肝膽、神經系統等等）和脾臟系統（包括脾臟、胰臟、胃腑、十二指腸等等）。當內毒厲害的時候，排毒可能會令到出口發炎。這個時候可以多食一些清肝利膽的食物，但必須一直監察身體的感覺與表現，過度服用可能引致肝膽過涼而出現身體疲勞，沒精打采。
記得進行食療前後均應諮詢中醫師專業意見。這裡的資訊只是經驗分享。歡迎轉載，但請注明出處。願你放下心結，早日康復，運動有恆，健康快樂。
早餐前空腹：青檸檬或黃檸檬汁。成分為三片加200ml和暖清水，應該比口溫稍高，喝下去覺得有一股暖流從喉嚨下流至胃部。如果不習慣空腹，餐後也有效。
午餐前空腹：酸梅湯。成分為山楂，烏梅，陳皮，生甘草等等。也是一樣和暖服用。如果不習慣空腹，餐後也有效。
正餐配搭：半熟苦瓜+全熟苦瓜、油麥菜、生菜、牡蠣（熟蠔）、青瓜。
湯水配搭：玉米全條連鬚連心、黃瓜、 牡蠣殼
茶水：蒲公英

Abstract:
General systems theories have been developing with the aim of understanding the general fundamental components and relationships of knowledge across different disciplines. After 60 years of hard work and academic exchanges, many modern Western systems theories have developed with a variety of terminologies, illustrating the relationships between observers and decision makers, between systems and environment, and between the organizational forces of systems (decreases entropy with emerging effect) and the chaotic forces of the 2nd law of thermodynamics (increases entropy with de-emerging effect). In order to enrich and enlighten further development of the theories, ancient Eastern wisdoms from Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, and Traditional Chinese Medicine (儒釋道醫) have been analyzed with modern systems terminologies for the “Integral East-West Systems Thinking” project by the Ancient Balance Medicine Research Institute.
“Tree of Life” is a term and concept that appeared in different ancient cultures. The one that is being investigated is the Hermetic version of Tree of Life, Qabalah, as illustrated by SpiritScienceCentral.com with 10 spheres or “planes” of creation which are individually called Sephira. Other versions have more relationships between the spheres, for example, the Jewish and the Christian version. The research challenge lies in how to co-relate these 10 spheres with the numbers 2 in Ying-Yang by Taoism, 3 in Heaven-Earth-Human Trinity by Confucianism, 4 in Distictions-Systems-Relationships-Perspectives theory of analysis by Derek Cabrera, 5 in Five Elements Differential Diagnosis-Cure Process by Traditional Chinese Medicine, Five Aggregates Human Mind Systems by Buddha, Five Virtues by Confucianism, Five components in R-theory of Relational Sciences by John Kineman, 13 in the 5+3+5 levels in Emergent Meta-system in Schemas Thoery by Kent Palmer, and 15 in the 3×5 levels in the Taichi Yin-Yang Five Elements Trinity i±1 System by Ancient Balance Medicine Research Institute. All theories seem to attempt to release the boundary of duality between the physical world with precise engineering and the world of consciousness with fuzzy cognitive processes, and eventually develop different united non-dual systems thinkings. The research in this paper has found a possible set of co-relations among these different systems thinkings, by analyzing in a systemic manner, the structure of the components and relationships, and their corresponding properties and transformations.
It is believed that the bridging of these Ancient-Modern East-West （古今中西）systems thinkings would inspire more research and academic exchanges, leading to a more holistic worldview for understanding ourselves and the world around us.

Call for Papers: Theme — Innovation and Optimization in Nature and Design
The 2018 ISSS Conference will explore foundational discoveries about the nature of complex systems which are now arising from research in systems disciplines such as Systems Biology, Systems Medicine, Systems Psychology, Systems Economics, Complexity Science and General Systems Research.
Over the last few decades many academic fields have developed systems specializations in order to investigate the systemic aspects of their subject areas, and in these areas there is a search for systems concepts and principles under such notions as design principles, organizing principles, channelling functions, and optimality principles. The 2018 Conference of the International Society for the Systems Sciences (ISSS) will bring together these specialised strands of work, laying foundations for establishing the profound systems science that would enable us to design and optimize for elegant functionality and enduring value at any level of complexity.
We invite abstracts for presentation of papers, posters and workshops about the conference theme specifically or in connection with the themes of the ISSS’s Systems Integration Groups (SIGs) and Exploratory Groups, which are listed below.
