     Dear Michel,

 *Chinese Thinking and Complexity*

*"...*when I talk about Complexity theory with fellow Westerners who are
unaware of complex systems, I sometimes feel they think me insane because
my framing sits uncomfortably with their view of the world.  Equivalently,
when I have the same conversation with Chinese people, they often think me
insane because what I am saying is blindingly obvious.*"*

At a conference I attended last week in Singapore, a question occurred to
me about whether the Chinese mind-set is more conducive to Complexity
theory than the Western mind-set.  At the conference, research was
presented suggesting there was a material difference between the two.  I
discuss this in the article, concluding that it might well be that the
Chinese tend to think more "complexly" than Westerners.
