Dear Willard,

I think that you might consider to consult also the following resources:

Reason, James (1990). Human Error. Cambridge University Press.
Reason, James (2000). Human error: models and management. BMJ 2000;
320:768. doi: https://www.bmj.com/content/320/7237/768

which deal with the topic of error mainly from a psychological perspective.

Many thanks for your attention,
best wishes.

Marinella

Some years ago I was a fellow at the Institute for Cultural Inquiry in
Berlin and they had a very interesting interdisciplinary project called
"Errans". They just published something about it:
