Replying to LO10613 --

The "new sciences" as I understand them do not require nor even suggest
"vision".

They particularly do not suggest ones that can be measured.

Emergence and complex adaptive systems and natural phenomena have general
intentions but not specific vision. More, any such thing will not be
achieved in the way natural phenomena emerge and evolve.

In my book, vision to be worthy of the name points to a field of
possibility. Such an approach does not allow for measurement in any
meaningful business sense of the word.
