Instrumentation
and measurement
Simple explanation:
A principle of control
theory is that one may not control a system that does not have
sufficient instrumentation.
History: This principle of
control theory is well known and obvious, and yet the Internet
developed without any consideration of this principle.
Nature of first principles: The
measurement problem is considered by several scholars to be the central
problem in modeling real complex systems, systems that are part of the
physical world. *<*>
Functions provided by instrumentation
and measurement
Supporting stratified security: There may be the social
justification for having a Wild West Internet. However, there is
also a need for public response systems, national health care systems,
national intelligence systems, and financial systems with an absolute
need for selective transparency.
There is a need for secure national education infrastructure and for
communication systems specifically supporting communities, such as
churches and social organizations. This security is provided by
an instrumentation which is regulated by the government, for the
purpose of protecting Constitutional rights and the public. This
balance must be under the review of the court system.
Selective transparency:
Selective transparency is a term defined within the stratification
theory developed by Prueitt. The mechanism involved requires a
technical discussion.
