Abstract

This paper presents a short overview of my research on systems thinking in the study of culture. In a brief account misunderstandings can arise because some topics have to be condensed or omitted. I hope in this summary to avoid confusion by outlining the central tenets on which the project was built, while recognising that this paper must, of necessity, leave out more than it covers.
