Complexity systems management method
First Claim
1. A method of assessing and managing behavior of a complex adaptive system, comprising the steps of:
- inputting a first plurality of data defining parameters of said complex adaptive system;
defining a plurality of fundamental events which determine behavior of said complex adaptive system;
modifying at each of a plurality of times at least ones of said first plurality of data to define a plurality of initial conditions;
testing each of said first plurality of data to determine a first subset of said first plurality of data which are most relevant to said plurality of fundamental events for each of said plurality of initial conditions in order to develop a plurality of scenarios of behavior of said complex adaptive system;
measuring an effect of each one of said plurality of initial conditions of each respective one of said developed plurality of scenarios on said first subset of data to provide status information which is capable of being tested to indicate likelihood of an event occurring in said complex adaptive system.

Abstract
The Complexity Systems Management (CSM) Method is a scientifically derived business process method for managing complex events and situations. The CSM Method™ is based on new scientific evidence that explains the behaviors of complex adaptive systems. This same scientific evidence gives rise to a new method of science, known as a priori optionality. A priori optionality is based on six scientifically derived tenets that are systematically applied using the CSM Method™ to more accurately characterize the behaviors of complex adaptive systems and manage complex events and situations. Applications of the CSM Method are integrally tied to specialized knowledgebases and a plurality of automated software applications.

10. A method of increasing the likelihood of behavior of a complex adaptive system, comprising the steps:
-
defining fundamental elements which control the functioning of the complex adaptive system; assigning a plurality of sets of initial values at a respective plurality of times to a plurality of features of the complex adaptive system; determining which ones of said plurality of features of the complex adaptive system are most directly related to said fundamental elements for each of said plurality of sets of initial conditions in order to develop a plurality of scenarios of behavior of said complex adaptive system; measuring an effect of each one of said plurality of sets of initial conditions of each respective one of said developed plurality of scenarios on said ones of said plurality of features most directly related to said fundamental elements to generate sets of data functionally related to the likelihood of a particular occurrence in said complex adaptive system. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A computer program product for use with a digital computer for assessing and managing behavior of a complex adaptive system, said computer program product including a computer usable medium having a plurality of computer readable program code means embodied in said medium, comprising;
-
a first computer readable program code means containing a first plurality of data defining parameters of said complex adaptive system and a plurality of defined relationships which control the functions of the complex adaptive system; a second computer readable program code means causing a modification at each of a plurality of times at least ones of said first plurality of data to define a plurality of initial conditions; a third computer readable program code means for testing each of said plurality of data to determine a first subset of said first plurality of data which are most relevant to said plurality of defined relationships for each of said plurality of initial conditions in order to develop a plurality of scenarios of behavior of said complex adaptive system; a fourth computer readable program code means for determining an effect of each one of said plurality of initial conditions of each respective one of said developed plurality of scenarios on said first subset of data to provide status information which is capable of being tested to indicate likelihood of an event occurring in said complex adaptive system. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
