Dear Ralph:
(1) Many thanks for your msg (ATTACHMENT I).
We are now working on the creation of Global Early Warning System (GEWS), which
is the outgrowth of our GCEPG project (see Reference (b) above), and which was
proposed by the Prime Minister of the U.K., Mr. Gordon Brown, at the G20 mtg in
London last April, and which was suggested by Leslaw — see below for his
msgs.
Our GEWS (which is the extension of GCEPG) is to run the national economy
simulation model all the time, continuously and repetitively, say, from the
year 2000 to 2050, as similar to a repetitive analog computer. The
graphical presentation of the year 2000 to the present would be the past data,
and the one from the present to the 2050 would be the prediction made by the
simulation model. The initial conditions at the present would be revised
with the fresh input data, say, about the national consensus or GDP (gross
domestic product) figure, etc. This makes the simulation as similar to
the one of a nuclear power plant simulator/trainer — or it could be the
engine of a large oil tanker, which President Obama often quotes as analogous
to the operation of the United State economy.
BTW, after the conference at CICR of Columbia University next May (see Item (6)
below), we plan to install Prof. OnishiÕs FUGI world econometric simulation
model, which has 192 country models and 8 UN sector models. He has agreed
to replace each of them with the ones made by the experts of each countries, as
observing the basic iron rule #1 of simulation, i.e., ÒMake simulation close to
SIMULAND as much as possible.Ó
(2) We are pretty much honored and privileged to have your help to our project
— particularly with the members of the McLeod Institute of Simulation
Sciences (MISS), which you founded, and has prominent members around the world
<http://www.scs.org/resources/text/miss.html>
-- BTW, this was once suggested by Mrs. John McLeod (Suzette) as soon as it was
founded.
As you see in the
Reference (b) above, Roy (one of your MISS members at your Chico campus) kindly
introduced our project to Priscilla R. Elfrey of NASA.
Dear Leslaw:
(3) Many thanks for your msgs (ATTACHMENT II and III), with various excellent articles.
Congratulations for your article appearing in the newsletter of the Club of
Rome/European Support Center <http://clubofrome.at/news/newsflash68.html>.
I also thank you for your msgs (ATTACHMENT IV) with a very interesting paper by Prof. Mark
Jablonowski (Reference (c) above), and (ATTACHMENT V) with Reference (d) above.
Dear Ralph:
(4) When you will be in Poland next time, pls make sure to meet with Leslaw to
discuss the construction of Polish national socio-energy-environment simulation
model. You may rekindle your contact with the following person;
Prof. Witold
Kosinski, Ph.D.

or
Prof. dr hab. Witold Kosinski
Prorektor ds. Naukowych
Polsko-Japonska Wyzsza Szkola Technik Komputerowych
ul. Koszykowa 86
02-008 Warszawa, POLSKA
BTW,
he has been receiving our list distributions.
(5) I would also greatly appreciate it if you can kindly encourage the members
of your MISS to construct their countriesÕ national-socio-energy-environment
simulation models, and join in our GEWS project to interlink their models
together.
(6) We will have a demonstration (*) of gaming/simulation on the energy
policies proposed by Former Vice President, Mr. Al Gore and President Barack
Obama to replace fossil fuel with renewable one to generate electricity in the
United States in relation to appropriate allocation of oil revenue in Niger
Delta of Nigeria, -- What would be the consequences to other economic and
social structures in the US and in other countries, particularly Nigeria? —
This is because 95% of Nigerian revenue comes from oil export, 40% of which is
exported to north America.
(*) This is to be held
during Global Symposium on: Climate Change and International Peace and
Security, Global Challenges and Global Solutions: Interdisciplinary Approaches
Center for International Conflict Resolution (CICR) in the School of
International and Public Affairs (SIPA) of Columbia University in May 2010.
Millennium Institute has started constructing national energy simulation model
for 15 member countries of the Economic Community Of West African States (ECOWAS) -- starting with Nigeria. This model will
then be interlinked with the US national model which the Millennium Institute
already have, in order to find out the consequences of the US energy policies
upon Nigeria — I am now working to have the IBMÕs cloud computing service
for this project — see Reference (e) above.
(7) After the conference at the CICR at Columbia University is over, we plan to
have one-day workshop at Polytechnic Institute of NYU to discuss the
technicalities of our projects. The key to this discussion is to
configure how to interlink various models.
Choice of simulation methodologies should be left to the experts of each
country (as far as they can produce time-series table as similar to EXCEL), and
what we have to concern is only how to interconnect exogenous variables among
inter-related countries and sectors. For this, we would need the
consistency of units and definition of variables.
I am very delighted to have you in charge of this part of our project, as you
agreed before. Pls schedule to attend this workshop next May.
(8) I notice somewhere in our web site that your motto is;
ÒComputer
simulation is FUN!!Ó
I agree with you 100% with my experiences in late 1950s to early 1970s, and
recall a Chinese proverb saying;
ÒSharing your joy
is the ultimate joy!!Ó
You would also need to emphasize the importance of educating young would-be decision
makers who are now in the teens and twenties who would become real decision
makers at their 50 to 70 years ages around 2050s, when most of the UNÕs
Millennium Development Goals (MSGs) would not meet their targets, and hence
would become fierce, severe resource competitions and conflicts issues.
Their training in crisis management, conflict resolution, and negotiation
techniques should be basing on "facts and figures." Their understanding gained with
scientific and rational analysis and critical thinking with the
gaming/simulation would be the basis of world peace, and hence ought to provide
the basic principle of global education for peace.
(9) Yes, Go, Go Bobcat!! You and I are its members, as the alumni of Montana
State University of Bozeman.
I still remember my good old days at the lab of its Chemical Engineering
Department where you and I studied, under the deep blue ÒBig SkyÓ of Montana
which fostered our BIG HOPE!!
Keep in touch — and hope to see you next May here in NYC.
Best, Tak

Dear Tak,
To overcome durably global civilizational crisis we need among others to
convince Òglobal power eliteÓ, that:
1. – Jay W. Forrester is right, when he call for
creating simulation methods for policy (including changes in infrastructure)
projecting and decision-making, see:
-
1995, Counterintuitive Behavior of Social Systems:
http://sysdyn.clexchange.org/sdep/Roadmaps/RM1/D-4468-2.pdf

;
1. - A. P. Sage is right when he call for supplementing
above Forrester call by means of systems/cybernetics knowledge in the form of
conceptual model of reality and proper/adequate value system for policy
projects and effects, see:

1. - we need to popularize - beside global early

Subject: RE: Global crisis & backcasting
Thank you Leslaw for this information. As you may be aware, similar ideas of
"early warning" and "systematic regulation" of financial
risk have been proposed by our US President, Barrack Obama and his staff.
Please be aware that both "warning" and "systematic" are
used in ways far narrower than your global system dynamics analysis. I am
afraid we are still doing too much risk management "by pieces", that
is WITHOUT THE PROPER WORLD CONTEXT. As such, I believe that its only real
effect will be to calm people, if only until the NEXT crisis.
Backcasting in this case would suggest possibly changing systems to achieve
desired economic/ ecological goals - NOT JUST ADJUSTING CURRENT SYSTEMS TO WORK
BETTER ("forecasting"). Please do not take current discussions of
"early warning" in the economic domain as evidence that the world is
recognizing the importance of monitoring world systems (INETRTWINED ECONOMIC
ECOLOGICAL SYSTEMS). I believe that once again the effort may be more symbolic
than real. Which is not a bad thing, it just does get at root causes.
I expand on the idea of backcasting and systematic risk planning in my new
book, "Managing High-Stakes Risk: Toward a New Economics for
Survival" that will be published by Palgrave Macmillan this Fall. I also
attach here the finished paper, "Increasing Uncertainty About High-Stakes
Risk: The Impetus for Radical Change?", that I presented recently at a
special session on risk management at the University of Cincinnati, USA.
I urge you to continue your efforts at developing a systematic approach to
sustainable development, as I think it can help provide the foundations of a
NEW economic for survival - one based on CONTINUITY, not
"trade-offs". I am afraid that proposals for increased economic
regulation consist merely of meager modifications of an existing approach which
has failed us in the past, and will fail us again - more dramatically - in the
future.
Please keep in touch.

Subject: RE: Global crisis & backcasting
Dear Leslaw;
Good to hear from you. Your dedication to your beliefs and goals (OUR goals) is
inspiring.
Of course, the backcasting approach fits completely with the wider systems
approach you advocate. Backcasting used in this sense is somewhat similar to
feed-forward control, augmented by a specifically heuristic "reverse
scenario" approach that can help guide effective brainstorming on ideas
for a safer (sustainable) future. To this end, the systems dynamic models of Meadows,
etal, can form an essential modeling framework necessary to the effort. Too bad
that Meadows early (and later) work was not understood as providing
POSSIBILISTIC warnings, not exact prognosis. As a result her work, and that of
related others, was unfairly labeled as "doomsaying", and not taken
seriously by many in the academic, political and wider public community. I have
tried to remedy this misunderstanding in a paper prepared for the 2009 meeting
of the North American Fuzzy Information Processing Society (NAFIPS),
"Increasing Uncertainty About High-Stakes Risks: The Impetus for Radical
Change?" (currently in review). By the way, backcasting is really just a
new name for the "instrumental policy analysis" proposed (but not
fully developed) by economist Adolph Lowe in his 1965 classic, "On
Economic Knowledge".
The only point of disagreement we have, judging form your notes, is the ability
of the market economy to recognize/ rectify the problems. I believe that
serious issues of valuation exists which can not be adequately addressed within
the market system. While the notion of "supply and demand" can itself
be viewed as a dynamic system, such systems can be in conflict as components of
a wider social-ecological system. Christian Fuchs has developed the idea of
"antagonistic self-organizing social systems". His idea is that while
markets can be viewed as a form of self-organizing, dynamic system, many of its
underlying structures are antagonistic to wider social and environmental goals.
While I would agree that market systems have their place, assurance of
sustainable development is not one of them. To this end I see no other
alternative to at least some degree of planning and control - as is completely
natural to ecological systems ("organism" implies organization) - on
a properly centralized or decentralized basis, as the need requires. This is
why I'm afraid that ideas like those of Lester Brown ("Plan B"),
while politically more palatable, are ultimately useless to achieve our goal.
To this end, I would urge you, as a cybernetician, to help develop perhaps some
model of combined planning and market system, along dynamic systems guidelines,
that could help guide us to our environmental goals. Your esteemed
country-man Oscar Lange had developed some framework in his book
"Introduction to Economic Cybernetics" (PWN Polish Scientific
Publishers, 1970). Backcasting/ instrumental analysis could be fruitfully
integrated into this framework. I believe development of a workable alternative
to current economic systems is the BIGGEST IMPEDMIMENT TO REALIZING
SUSTAINABILITY THAT WE FACE TODAY. To proceed by trying to simply modify
current economic/ market systems will only continue to make things worse (i.e.,
more UNCERTAIN).
Thank you again for your continued interest in my ideas, and for kindly seeking
my opinion!

Dear Mark,
It would be useful to use your backcasting method in looking ways to overcome
global crisis. For this end I propose to support Angela Merkel proposal to
create UN Economic Council aided by UN Information Center for Strategy of
Sustainable Development. We ought to return to Meadowss Beyond the Limits
(1882) and Limits to Growth, 30 Year Update (2004) as well as Forrester

world with help of information culture.
In
