10. Instead of measuring absolute values of property P_____ of A__________, measure relative changes of property P_____ (speed of changes, acceleration, etc.).
Automation
1. Human does the work. The human is “A.”
SOLUTIONTREE-EN-DOC Page 7 of 8
Human with tool. Human provides power and guidance to “A” Human with tool set. Human has many options for how to get the work done. Human directs tool. “A” has its own power, guided by the human. Tool works, modified by human. The human can interrupt the work if needed, but otherwise “A” operates unaided. At this point “A” usually changes considerably, and stops using imitation of human actions to do the work. 6. Tool adapts itself to situation. “A” and “B” interact, and “A” modifies the work it does in order to accomplish what “B” needs (This can also progress to full trimming, where “B” does things for itself, and “A” is eliminated.) 2. 3. 4. 5.
