[Phil Henshaw-2]

Here's my next step of refinement of a rigorous method for identifying
complex system organization beyond the complexity of its the measures...
The starting point is evidence of approaching whole system efficiency
limits.  That implies the presence of a complex system approaching its
limits, observable in that behavior.    That it then seems we are part
of a complex system exhibiting that behavior conflicts with the
assumption that the growth of consumption can continue without using
resources, the standard economic model.    Does it work for reversing
the burden of proof on that question as I suggest?
