Donella Meadows
Tradition
Systems dynamics, environmental science
KEY TEXT
Thinking in Systems: A Primer (2008)
Meadows trained as a biophysicist and spent her career mapping the feedback loops that govern complex systems — from global resource models to local watersheds. Her work names the leverage points where small interventions reshape whole structures.The systems lens at HUX starts here. A design system is not a kit of parts. It is a set of stocks, flows, and feedback loops. Where you intervene determines what changes.
Daniel Kahneman
Tradition
Behavioural economics, cognitive psychology
KEY TEXT
Thinking, Fast and Slow (2011)
Kahneman's two-system model splits cognition into the fast, automatic, pattern-matching mind and the slow, deliberate, effortful one. Most professional work happens in System 2 — and most professional work runs out of fuel by mid-afternoon.Useful, but incomplete. Cognition does not end at the skull.
