W. Ross Ashby's card index.

Ross indexed the contents of his Journal using two card indexes that he kept in the green cabinet shown on the right.

This page contains the complete "Alphabetical" index that is in the lower right-hand drawer, which contains 860 cards, with about 5,500 page references for 678 keywords. To search the index for particular words, you can either look at the primary keywords in the Keyword Cloud, or press Ctrl-F to search through the entire index page, including all the primary and secondary level keywords. Otherwise just scroll down.

Other Index

References to the other index or the special collection refer to the card index in the lower left-hand drawer, which is organized into categories by subject. To view the other index, click here.


Keyword Cloud

The following cloud contains all 678 keywords in a compact format, where the size of each keyword reflects how many page references it has in the index. Hovering the mouse over a keyword displays the exact number of page references the keyword has. Click a keyword to jump down to the corresponding index entry. If you only want to concentrate on the most-indexed keywords, you can click the filtering links to adjust how many keywords are displayed in the cloud.

If you are using Firefox or Chrome, the filtering is fast and elegant, unfortunately in Microsoft's Internet Explorer 6 and 7, the identical filtering code runs 100 times slower and the result is uglier than Bill Gates ;-) IE8 is fast but it still renders the filtered cloud in ugly-mode. It's your choice!
