The previous
discussion assumes interaction with both the external and internal
environment. Now, let us assume,
for whatever reason or combination of circumstances, that we design a command
and control system that
hinders interaction with external environment. This implies a focus inward, rather than outward.
Picking up on
this idea, we observe from Darwin that:
The
environment selects.
Ability or
inability to interact and adapt to exigencies of environment select one in or out.
Furthermore, according
to the G๖del Proof, the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, and the
Second Law of Thermodynamics:
One cannot
determine the character or nature of a system within itself.
Moreover, attempts to do so lead to confusion and disorder. Why? Because
in the real world the environment
intrudes (my view).
Now, by applying the
ideas of Darwin, the Second Law, Heisenberg, and G๖del to Clausewitz one can see that:
He who can generate
many non‑cooperative centers of gravity magnifies friction. Why? Many non‑cooperative centers of gravity within a system
restrict interaction and adaptability of system with its surroundings, thereby leading to a focus inward
(i.e., within itself), which in turn generates
confusion and disorder, which impedes vigorous or directed activity, hence, by
definition, magnifies
friction or entropy.
