Dear Cameron,
the key field that addresses reductionism and the circular / linear
causality dichotomy is CYBERNETICS.
My DesignX talk covered these:

Here are a few of my related papers:
Thomas Fischer, 2015: Blind Spots Obscuring Circular Causality in Design
and Elsewhere, Kybernetes, Volume 44, Issues 8 and 9, pp. 1233–1239,
DOI: 10.1108/K-11-2014-0267.
Thomas Fischer, 2013: Enigmatic Mechanisms in Defense of the Capability
to Have New Ideas, Kybernetes, Volume 42, Issues 9 and 10, pp.
1374–1386, DOI: 10.1108/K-10-2012-0070.
Thomas Fischer, 2010: The Interdependence of Linear and Circular
Causality in CAAD Research: A Unified Model, in: Bharat Dave, Andrew
I-Kang Li, Ning Gu and Hyoung-June Park (eds.): CAADRIA 2010: New
Frontiers, Proceedings of the 15th International Conference on
Computer Aided Architectural Design Research in Asia, Department of
Architecture, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, pp. 609–618.
I hope this helps,
Tom
