Algedonic Alerts

[QUOTE=spacedout;459206]Its really a problem trying to make a concept fit reality. All particles in our universe have the discrete size and atributes. Space conducts electro-static charges, gravity, magnetic forces oblivious to each other in space. Everything is changing positions at a set order of time and distance. Virtual particles come and go as though from no where and back. Three dimensions are the basic building style for our universe. Movement is basic throughout the universe as though there is a basic clock setting the rate of movement.[/QUOTE]


[QUOTE=wiki Viable System Model]
Algedonic Alerts (from the Greek αλγος, pain and ηδος, pleasure) are alarms and rewards that escalate through the levels of recursion when actual performance fails or exceeds capability, typically after a timeout.

actuality: "What we are managing to do now, with existing resources, under existing constraints."

capability: "This is what we could be doing (still right now) with existing resources, under existing constraints, if we really worked at it."

potentiality: "This is what we ought to be doing by developing our resources and removing constraints, although still operating within the bounds of what is already known to be feasible."

Beer adds "It would help a lot to fix these definitions clearly in the mind." System 4's job is essentially to realize potential.

He then defines productivity: is the ratio of actuality and capability;

latency: is the ratio of capability and potentiality;

performance: is the ratio of actuality and potentiality, and also the product of latency and productivity.

Consider the management of a process with cash earnings or savings for a company or government: potentially £100,000 but aiming to make £ 60,000. Actually sales, savings or taxes of £40,000 are realized.

So potentiality = £100,000; capability = £60,000; actuality = £40,000.

Thus latency = 60/100 = 0.6;

productivity = 40/60 = 0.67;

performance = 0.6 × 0.67 = 0.4 (or actuality/potential 40/100).

These methods (also known as normalisations) can be similarly applied in general e.g. to hours worked in the performance of tasks or products in a production process of some kind.

When actuality deviates from capability, because someone did something well or something badly, an algedonic alert is sent to management. If corrective action, adoption of a good technique or correction of an error, is not taken in a timely manner the alert is escalated. Because the criteria are applied in an ordered hierarchy the management itself need not be, but the routine response functions must be ordered to reflect best known heuristic practice. These heuristics are constantly monitored for improvement by the organization's System 4s.

Pay structures reflect these constraints on performance when capability or potential is realized with, for example, productivity bonuses, stakeholder agreements and intellectual property rights.

Well may we call the universe material when in reality all's in a field of energy.
May sheep safely graze and gaze at starry skies above: by love buy synergy.
