People can follow certain rules (or rules) in the process of innovation and system improvement, thus reducing trial and error costs in the process of innovation and system improvement, the following describes the eight major evolutionary principles of table store (the eight rules are summarized by people before and will certainly be added to my understanding here ).
First, let's take a look at the composition of a Technical System (the definition here is: a set of components and operational things that interact and act to implement a function (or function, technical systems are of course hierarchical, with fewer components and smaller energy consumption. The better, the better. An ideal system can be achieved without components and costs. However, this ideal system does not exist, however, it provides us with an improved direction for technical systems (products). This is the first rule of Technological System Evolution:
1. Improved ideographic evolution (ideographic = all useful functions of the system/(all harmful functions of the system + cost) Law
The goal is to improve the technical system's ideals, but we can improve the technical system from four aspects: technical system itself, Technical System subsystem, and Technical System super system and material.
First, let's take a look at the technology system itself. We can divide a system into four parts based on its role, plus an energy source. Four parts of the Execution System (subsystems): power device, transmission device, execution device and control device; four parts of the measurement technology system are: sensing device, transmission device, conversion device, control device. The four parts of the technical system are indispensable, which leads to the 2nd Evolutionary Rules of the Technical System:
2 completeness evolution rules
This is actually very understandable. Since the four parts of the technical system must exist, we can use this principle to analyze the technical system and check whether the system is feasible. One method is to check whether the energy of each part of the system is reachable and how efficient the transfer is. This method leads to the 3rd principles of Technological System Evolution:
3. Evolution of Energy Transmission
Through this rule, we can determine whether each component of the technical system is necessary (if the energy cannot be transferred to a component, it can be removed if it is useless, or the component cannot work, it can also improve the technical system by analyzing the energy transfer efficiency.
We break down a technical system into multiple subsystems for the purpose of analyzing these subsystems and looking at the evolution of these subsystems. The evolution between subsystems is generally not balanced, through the analysis of this imbalance, we can improve the subsystems that are lagging behind in evolution to achieve the purpose of improving the entire system. This is the 4th evolutionary principle of the Technical System:
4: unbalanced evolution of subsystems
In fact, this analysis is similar to the theory of water buckets. A short board of a system is often the most backward subsystem in evolution. By identifying short board subsystems, we can improve the technical system.
The 1 rule is the goal, and the 2-4 rule is analyzed based on the system decomposition. If we put a system into a more advanced system (Super system) to think about it, there are many surprises. This is the 5th principle of Technological System Evolution:
5. Evolution to hyper-System
This has two meanings: one is that the current technical system must effectively integrate super system resources, such as the on-board radio, and its power can use its own battery, but the better way is to use the energy system in the car, and the other is to integrate it into the super system. In this way, I call it the combination rule, that is, to combine the current technology system into the super system, there are many such examples. For example, a super system of a radio: people listen to the radio while driving, and the radio is integrated into the super system, it becomes a car-mounted radio. This evolutionary law is not only applicable to manufacturing and processing, but also to software. through constant functional convergence, we can achieve innovation. Google glasses and Apple watches are typical examples of this evolution.
There are flexible, mobile, and controllable requirements for physical technical systems. These three evolutionary rules are the 6th Evolutionary Rules of the Technical System:
6. Dynamic Evolution principles of technical systems
Increasing flexibility means that the system will evolve in a more flexible and convenient way, such as from copper axis to twisted pair wire to wireless. Flexibility reveals the Evolutionary Rules of the material and structure of system elements. Increasing the Evolutionary Rules of mobility indicates that the technology system will continue to enhance the overall mobility, A typical example is the evolution of vacuum cleaners. The rule to improve controllability is that the system will develop along the direction of controllability between the enhanced system and subsystems. It is not hard to understand that the general route is: direct Control-indirect control-Introduction of feedback control = automatic control. A good example is the evolution of voice control switches. Dynamic Evolution is to improve and improve the technical system from the component material and functional completeness of the system. The size of the Technical System and its sub-systems can also be improved. The following evolutionary rules can be adopted:
7. Evolution of technical systems to micro-level
This rule reveals that the technology system or its sub-system generally evolves in the direction of reduced size. Note that this rule is general, not all. Sometimes, because of the needs of functions, the size will change to a larger direction, such as the super-large aircraft.
8. Coordinated Evolutionary Rules
The previous Evolutionary Rules refer to the evolution of technical systems from every part or aspect of the technical system. In fact, the whole system, including the super system, must develop in a coordinated manner, such coordination includes shape coordination, connection coordination, and location coordination. Through the coordination analysis between the system subsystem and the super system, we can improve the non-coordination, so as to achieve better coordination, and thus achieve technical system improvement.
These eight evolutionary rules are not the ultimate evolutionary rules of the theory of the Object Storage System (OSS), but can be expanded. Because these rules are summed up based on patents and knowledge in the engineering field, more research and summarization are required for applications in other fields, such as the software development field.
