The notion of Thought Warfare and Anti‐Warfare (TWAW) has been introduced in earlier work as a way of thinking about future military conflict and its avoidance. TWAW involves the dynamic interaction of allies' and adversaries' Thought Systems. Current Thought Systems involve entities capable of cognition, emotion and volition ‐ typically (groups of) people ‐ interacting via networks of information and data systems. This paper summarises a conceptualisation, ie a system of ideas, of the domain of Thought Systems. This affords various new insights that may be of significance to both the Defence and systems thinking communities.
