General Systems Theory:
“General systems theory is central to all the successful prognosticating. This theory has been employed in the logistics and ballistics of world-embracing naval theory for at least a century. It involves all the fundamental variables entering into the problem. Its strategy is to start with the most comprehensive family of variable factors possible, and by progressive elimination of those factors irrelevant to the special case problem, to arrive at logically predictable condition [sic] at a given time and place. The most desirable results often require invention and development of new tools and instruments. Thus, the physical novelties of tomorrow are often the consequences of a complex family of variables.”
