Dear José,

I agree to your call against over-simplification, and I appreciate  
especially your mention of Bertalanffy and the traditions of system  
thinking. My Darmstadt colleague Helmut Wenzel years ago (2000) has  
written his Ph.D. thesis on "Subjekt, Information and System"  
(unfortunately, available only in German via  
http://tuprints.ulb.tu-darmstadt.de/epda/000060/) where he  
reconstructs the history of system thinking and awards appropriate  
attention to Bertalanffy and the development of Cybernetics.

All the best,
Rudi
