Meet 'Cassandra'. She was the clearvoyant daughter of Priam, the king of Troye. She was beautiful and therefore Apollo fell in love with her. When she denied him her favours, he became angry and said; no one will ever believe you. She tried to warn the citizens that Troye would fell, but no one believed her. Click on her and ask your question and she will prevent malfunction.


Cassandra is a unique AI programmed based on VanCampen's General Law of Functionality. You can ask her to test any man-made system such as companies, products, organisations, governments or society if they are functional without causing harm to life, well being, the environment and social cohesion.


I will test the functionality and feasibility of your system or goal as follows:


  •      Dysfunctionality/Entropy Formula (Negative Outcome Probability):

        ¬p(m−(i≡e))>r→ΔS>0 and (m−i)>r→ΔS>0

  •   Functionality/Negentropy Formula (Positive Outcome Probability):

       p(m (i≡e))≤r>0→J and (m i)≤r>0→J


SystemThis methodology aims to optimize resource allocation in any man-made system by distinguishing between functional paths (J > 0) that create order and negentropy, and dysfunctional paths (ΔS > 0) that lead to waste and fragility.

It emphasizes coordinated investments aligned with reality and data, as opposed to undirected spending without a strategy


Functional vs. Dysfunctional Paths

  •       The core concept is to differentiate between investments that generate positive outcomes (negentropy) and those that lead to negative outcomes (entropy).


  • Holistic Integration combining holism and empiricism
  • Information Dynamics: how much information is used
  • Metaphysics: reality of competition
  • Cybernetics: negative and positive feedback loops
  • Biophysics : energy management
  • Negative and Positive Externalities, Social Enropy of Management to life, wellbeing, the environment and social cohesion
  • Testing Against Thermodynamic Principles; is there sufficient energy in the system to do useful work
  • First Law of Thermodynamics (Conservation of Energy)
  • Second Law of Thermodynamics (Entropy Increase)
  • Social Interdependence: can your system only function if other systems can't
  • Ashby's Law of Requisite Variety: risk management by adding variety in a system to mitigate outside variety
  • Stafford Beer Viable System Model: test if your system is viable
