Abstract
The aim of this paper is to consider primary attributes of complexity in situational contexts, particularly within the scope of systems modelling and methodology, and to ascertain which attributes of complexity systems scientists 'do/do not' deal with. By so doing, the groundings in complexity are secured for the reader and authors of this issue of Transactions.Keywords
