Perhaps another theme for conversation or books would be "are they
converging"?  It seems to me we're definitely all looking at the same
subject and making some progress, but may be heading in separate
directions.   I know nature must connect them some how, but are we
discovering it?  

A) Abstract complexity sciences: experimental pattern generators, the
arts of pure mathematical form.

B) Historical complexity sciences: observation & pattern recognition,
various formal methods and models.

Is there a connection?
