Reading the inheritance: map review, October 2026

The inheritance contains different kinds of map: historical arguments, visual teaching accounts, explicit source networks, and bibliometric signals. A common drawing style is not evidence that their lines mean the same thing.

This review identifies the public works and the available source texts. Text search did not establish a complete inventory of image-only files. Private storage details and source files are not republished.

Map of Systemic Evolution

Benjamin Hadorn

Source-owner-reviewed package preserved: 650 nodes and 1,320 source links. Existing reconciliation is not automatic equivalence.

Next evidence: Independent evidence for selected influences; further human reconciliation requires a finite cohort and named reviewer.

Map of the Complexity Sciences

Brian Castellani

307 outward destinations retained. This release records a fresh reachability check without changing source-published labels.

Next evidence: Review 28 alt/title disagreements and interpret destination mismatches; HTTP success does not settle accuracy.

Counted map

Public bibliometric comparator

98 nodes and 1,856 aggregate signals remain a separate comparator.

Next evidence: Recover the lawful input manifest and missing shrink step before claiming independent reproducibility.

CoExplorer maps

CoExplorer source collections

Existing nine-source review preserves the distinction between article reading and individual entry verification.

Next evidence: Reconcile individual propositions only where their sources justify a controlled relation.

Lineages of systems practices

Laura Winn and Saskia Rysenbry

The authors describe a situated, non-exhaustive visual exploration of overlapping currents and inheritances.

Next evidence: Keep its situated and non-exhaustive scope; do not impose precise dates on its currents.

Some streams of systemic thought

Eric Schwarz / IIGSS, May 2001

Several available copies share this extracted heading, including filenames suggesting other authors. Filenames are insufficient evidence of authorship.

Next evidence: Locate the source image and licence; compare versions before treating files as duplicates.

The genesis of complexity

Ralph H. Abraham, draft dated 31 July 2002

A draft historical account was identified in the available map materials.

Next evidence: Confirm an authoritative public edition and distinguish historical argument from a relation dataset.

Foundations: history timeline

American Society for Cybernetics

A public chronology provides dated historical leads.

Next evidence: Each proposed teaching, influence, or collaboration relation needs its own evidence.

Systems Science: An Atlas

Lynn Rasmussen, 21 November 2020

The inspected text-only copy identifies Rasmussen and acknowledges Troncale and Tuddenham.

Next evidence: Recover the diagrams and their stated semantics before mapping individual relationships.

Field of systems thinking

Clare Wright, 2012, figure 12

The inspected extract attributes the figure to Wright and describes inspiration from Castellani.

Next evidence: Locate the complete thesis and figure; avoid attributing the work from a storage filename.

History of ideas: cybernetics and systems science

Version 1.0, 2006; attribution to verify

A diagram was identified in the available source material.

Next evidence: Resolve authorship, rights, and the meaning of connectors before transcription.

Linkage propositions map

Len Troncale, 1978

Its caption distinguishes concept-to-packet or packet-to-packet solid lines from concept-to-concept dotted lines; crossings do not establish junctions.

Next evidence: Locate the complete figure and Table I together, then transcribe the specified relation types.

Systems Maps collection

Collection attribution to verify

A collection overview was inspected; a text-search result is not a complete inventory of image-only files.

Next evidence: Obtain a complete file listing and reconcile image-only items without publishing private storage details.

All 307 Castellani destinations checked

239 responded; 16 unavailable in this check; 26 access or server response requires review; 26 could not verify. These results describe this check, not permanent availability or semantic correctness. Source labels and comparator bytes remain unchanged.
