Abstract

The chapter contains some philosophical and theoretical background of the presented approach which includes biology-inspired General Systems Theory, System Dynamics with computer simulated multi-loop network models, Brain Waves and Consciousness phenomena, Gestalt Psychology grasping the whole first with parts having sense only in the context of the whole, Memetics similar to genetics but in information and social areas, also currently dominant interoperability principles of organization of civil and especially military systems and the necessity and urgency of higher organizational levels like Over-operability coined by the author.
