 * Small, closely knit communities have a very considerable measure of [[Homeostasis]]: and this, whether they are highly literate communities in a civilized county or villages of primitive savages. p 160
 * Any organism is held together in this action by the possession of means for the acquisition, use, retention, and transmission of information. p 161
-* [In a discussion of the control of electric generating systems with obvious analogies to cloud computing] parallel systems had a better [[Homeostasis]] than serial systems and therefore survived, while the serial system eliminated itself by natural selection. … This possibility of self-organization is by no means limited to the very low frequency of [electricity generation or human brain waves].

 * In connection with the effective amount of communal information, one of the most surprising facts about the body politic is its extreme lack of efficient [[Homeostasis]]. There is a belief, current in ay countries, which has been elevated to the rank of an official article of faith in the United States, that free competition is itself a homeostatic process: that in a free market the individual selfishness of the bargainers, each seeking to sell as high and buy as low as possible, will result in a stable dynamics of prices, and with redound to the greatest [[Common Good]]. … The evidence, such as it is, is against this simple-minded theory. The market is a game … strictly subject to the general theory of games.  … Where there are three or more players, the results is one of extreme indeterminacy and instability.  … There is no [[Homeostasis]] whatever. p 158ff

	After his collaboration with Dr. RosenBlueth on living systems, Dr. Weiner was tasked with solving non-linear problems for WWII. His piece de resistance was the design of the analog computer that controlled the heaviest guns for the largest warship (the Missouri) that fought in that war and continued in active service until 1992.

 * In multi-computer, multi-networked systems, [[Homeostasis]] can only be achieved by components that evolve independently, but are only evaluated by how they contribute to the overall welfare of the totality of the system. In the philosophy of real-world ecosystems, this is known as "Blind Variation and Selective Retention".<ref>Donald T. Campbell, ''Blind Variation and Selective Retention in Creative Thought as in other Knowledge Processes''. in ''Evolutionary Epistemology and the Sociology of Knowledge''. 1987 ISBN -8126-9039-7</ref> The assumption is that the [[Selective Retention]] is based on some objective measure, which has proved to be a problem when humans are involved in determining the metric.
 * Game theory may work to engender inequality, but not comity. There the metric is clear enough, but it might not work to the advantage of all players. Capitalism is one such game.
-* Components must be evaluated in an ecosystem of components of roughly equal complexity. As the richness of systems grow, the number of levels of ecosystems grow as well.

-* In general, creation of [[Homeostasis]] at one level of complexity will not help provisioning it at a higher level.

 * In terms of [[Privacy]], the systemic privacy of data is not, in general, improved by focusing on the privacy of the components of that system.
 * In terms of [[Identity]], the [[Assurance]] of the identifier is never determined by looking at each component of the identity system in isolation from the entire ecosystem.

+Computerized solutions in order of [[Complexity]]:
 # The Steepest Descent algorithm measures the slope at the point where the last solution was found. If not zero it will move down the curve to find the lowest (or up to find the highest) valued solution.
 # If no slope can be calculated, a [[Hunting]] algorithm will search the ecosystem near to where the last solution was found to see if a statistically better one is found. If so it will try that next time.

 *Training works for most computer learning systems for identifying people (or dogs) in pictures, but the imposition of other rules, [[Assurance]] of [[Identity]] of humans, or quality of training of dogs, is substantially harder.
 *With indeterminate problems, solutions need to be constantly evaluated to determine if they are performing as required by the currently rules, which may not be the ones they were trained for.
