ALWYN C. SCOTT
1931 - 2007
. 
We regret to announce the passing of CCS co-founder Al Scott after a long illness. Al was a wonderful man and a good friend who pioneered nonlinear science
and emergence and applied them to the study of consciousness.
Al’s book “Stairway to the Mind” is the classic work
on emergence of consciousness, and his last
book “The nonlinear universe” will appear later
this year. Al is survived by his loving wife
Lynn MacNeill, daughter Leila and sons Emmon and Alwyn Jr.
