1.1.7 The 9 Functions of Human Systems

Traditional science is concerned with the application of energy (E) in order to place a specific matter (M) in a specific location in space (S), say guiding a cruise missile towards its target undisturbed, putting a marketing concept into the minds of the target group, which is considered an empty container in which the battle for money takes place, an appearance which renders people substance in return for the illusion of being free - for the desired ideology. That would work for  "humans" projected as free subjects, with the universe being seen as a heap of objects for our free usage. However, this subtly evil image propagated by philosophy in all science via the humanities and religions, via theology, is in fact, as Karl Popper has pointed out, the curse of mankind with which the Bible deals , uniquely in comparison with all other books. This curse blinds people to the consequences of such thinking catastrophes in terms of  human catastrophes! Its aim is to subdue time to the zeitgeist, rather than God's word, implemented by the substantialities HE created for that purpose, such as the laws of nature. Ignoring the latter produces catastrophes ranging from the Titanic, to wrecking the global environment. This is known; it is less well known that the same applies for each of respective law of lifefulfillment, the veil of obscurity around which  is being lifted here. To deal with God's order, each human has a sense of P=past, N=now, present, F=future, and that in terms of i=input, s=internal state, and o=output. This makes the 64 iso-OEGP more specific with the 64*3*3*3, or 123=1728 relevant lifefulfillment iso-principles APS deals with. In the following we focus on the is-aspects, which leave us with 122=144 is-OEGP; modeling the basic is-attitudes towards lifefulfillment. They contain the is-functions F1-9 which every living system requires to sustain itself beyond any evolutionary process:

Hardware Food, Resource The way the basic 9 functions of every living system and also technical systems including their users, makes sense in terms of learning from the past (P), coping with present (N) and fulfilling one's purpose in the future (F)
F1(NF) Input
F2(FP) Digestion
F3(PN) Output
Software Language, books, IT
F4(PP) Reality Mapping
F5(FN) Entrepreneurship
F6(NP) Controlling
Lifeware conscience
F7(FF) Consulting
F8(NN) Coping
F9(PF) Overview

 

In those terms, the OEGP that models me, becomes 9Pv>EF; from a substantial overview (9) I prepare (p) processes (P) in view of the future (F) usage of individuals life energy (E) towards life - through task-fulfillment in correspondence with their substance - on lifefulfilling platforms. To achieve that, we now deal with systems <=                                                                                                                       =>
