"Generating a vast volume of words on specific topics via books, papers, lectures is a necessity in all areas of specialization. Can this, then, possibly be the way of integrative study, systems thought?

Concision is the hallmark of integrative study; torrents of words belong to the areas of specialization.

Each profound thought is encapsulated in a few, simple, fruitful words.

In time an organized, growing body of aphoristic statements arises. It can become a framework for thought.

A chaotic body of statements (collections of quotations, proverbs, or insights) cannot serve the purpose. Each statement must be organically linked to the statement which precedes it and the one which follows." - Joe Engleberg
