nettime: Could Computertheory help the German army? - Nils Roeller |
Could Computertheory help the German army? No doubt the German army does not need any help from comuter theory, because now the goverment helps the army. It helps against internal frustration in ist defenses system with a new honour-law. This law will protect the honour of the soldier. In future there shall be no more possibility to frustrate a german soldier by accusing him to be a murderer. Every one who will dare to call him so may be sentenced to a maximum of 3 years prison. This law has to be regarded as a problem between a struggle inside and outside of a system. The struggle arises at a time, where China provokes Taiwan and the conflict in Ex Jugoslavia helps the forces of the big Nato-Brother to have a new training field . This is a crucial time for the germany army that was used to fight only with inner enemies (for their budgest). It's time to changetacticts because it has now to figtht as well against externly: versus the �enemies" of democracy, free market politcis and global peace, and no more not only internally against a growing frustation in the army that is due to the development of the german society. Here the interface problem arises . The idea of interface is gained from the theory of the german cyberspace thinker Prof. Otto R�ssler (Endo-Otto). He says that the actions of the interface are determinend in a not predicatable way by microscopic dynamics in the inside of a system and macroscopic dynamics in the outside. The error of the german goverment is that they try to manage the problem of the army by determing the interface of language (language understood as the field where internal army-problems meet with external problems. This does not make any sense because the interface is in no predictable manner connected nor with the inside nor with the outside. So the debate is useless. Using computertheory the goverment could have avoided a demonstration of power in the parlament. Reading Machiavelli would have been an aid as well. He argued in the sixteenth century that tumults within a system help to maintain the stabilty of the system.
