What is the complete governance function?

The complete governance function is a hierarchically ordered sequence of qualitatively distinct actions, which includes:

1. Identification of environmental factors (objective phenomena) encountered by the intellect, across the full diversity of processes in the Universe.

2. Formation of a stereotype (skill) for recognizing that factor in the future.

3. Formulation of a goal vector for governance in relation to the given factor, and integration of this goal vector into the overall goal vector of one’s behavior (self-governance), based on solving the problem of ensuring the stability of the governed object — in the sense of predictability of its behavior in an environment that includes this factor.

4. Development of a governance concept and specific governance objective functions that together form the concept — based on solving the problem of stability in terms of predictability of behavior in the environment (predictability to the degree required for governance at the specified quality level).

5. Organization and reorganization of purposeful governance structures that carry out the governance objective functions.

6. Control over (monitoring of) the activities of these structures during the governance process, and coordination of interactions among different structures.

7. Dismantling of structures that are no longer needed, or maintaining them in working condition for future use.

Steps 1 and 7 are always present. The intermediate steps can be grouped to varying degrees or broken down in more detail.
