Complex evolving object transformation
This white paper describes how to decompose a system into the sum of its parts.

Imagine (if you will) that you were capable of being able to look at any business (no matter how large or how small) and readily identify all the various facets of it.

The following diagram represents a first principles look at how you could go about carrying out this task.

Examples of Objects
Type	Description	Example
Complex Evolving Object	The end result(s) or goal(s) is/are indeterminable. Multiple ideas need to be inputted into multiple processes, producing multiple outputs. Hence it is necessary to develop a single, integrated model (scale sized replica) that takes into account the multitude of results. These objects have more to do with sociology than technology	Government

Complex Static Object	The end result(s) are determinable. A single model (scale sized replica) can be developed that reflects the end results. These objects have more to do with technology than sociology but can have a major effect on sociology. Hence if the technology is not applied for the right reason, the lives of countless numbers may be put at risk	Games

		Satellites
		DNA
		Cellular Phones
		Integrated Computer Chips
Simple Static Object	A single output (result, message) is generated from a process. These objects have all to do with technology, with no sociological considerations.	Module
