A Development Plan for the New Millennium

Abstract

This paper points out the importance of systems science as the second dimension of knowledge and introduces the yoyo model as the intuition and playground commonly useful for systems thinking and reasoning. By revealing how traditional science abstracts numbers and quantities out of objects of rich internal structures, this work shows the wide range of applicability of systems research in not only new territories created by the research but also the studies of all the age-old quests of the mankind. By detailing a careful design, this paper establishes the idea and purpose of creating educational programs at specifically undergraduate levels in order to stimulate further development of systems science.
