“The capabilities (intellectual and material) of contemporary society are immeasurably greater than ever before - which means that the scope of society's domination over the individual is immeasurably greater than ever before.

“The practice of first developing a clear and precise definition of a process without regard for efficiency, and then using it as a guide and a test in exploring equivalent processes possessing other characteristics, such as greater efficiency, is very common in mathematics. It is a very fruitful practice which should not be blighted by premature emphasis on efficiency in computer execution.” ShouldFirstsProcessCommonPracticeClearGreaterComputerTestsRegardMathematicsDefinitionsGuidesDevelopingCharacteristicsExecutionEfficiencyExploringPreciseEmphasisPossessingPremature Author:Kenneth E.
