This paper was prepared in support of a plenary lecture at the Third International Conference on Complex Systems (Nashua, NH; 2000). Its aim is to provide an overview and synthesis of general principles from dynamical systems theory and semiotic theory that are relevant to the analysis of human social-ecological systems. Links are provided to other recent papers which contain more detailed discussion and references.
