F-Scale: The Kernel Factor in a Performance

Model based on the Principle of Imagery

By

Peter Anyebe

Commenting on the possible outcome of the Nigerian civil war of 1966, Wole

Soyinka, NL in his prison notes of 1972 titled The Man Died, ascribes the following

contribution to Banjo, with whom he was in a dialogue, on pages 179 to 180:

Whichever way this sort of war goes, the only results will be the

entrenchment of the worst of both evils.

The Soviets fought their civil war gun in hand and political ideology in

their heads…But we thrust soldiers today into the field with just the

slogan, kill-Yanmirin or kill-Hausa…How do we get rid of the alliance

of the capitalist adventurer and a bourgeois military after the war?

Yusuf Bala Usman with whom Soyinka shared the socialist ideology, in his 1979

book titled, For the Liberation of Nigeria, gives voice to the core concept of the

ideology with respect to the Nigerian State when he describes the key units of the

political community on page 36 as systems of activity based on:

Age,

Occupation and

Habitation

The trio of age, occupation, and habitation are also given center stage elsewhere;

this time, by the principal proponent of the capitalist ideology, as:

Politicians and politics,

Public and private institutions, and

A disorderly world respectively

In the 1980 book edited by Richard Harwood and described as the only in-depth

View my profile Google Me WordPress

portrait of the most astonishing landslide in election history titled, The Pursuit of

the Presidency, 1980; written by David Broder et al and the staff of The

Washington Post, the following quotes are found on pages 17, 14, and 10

respectively:

The profound and disturbing questions Americans were asking about

the state of the nation…

…The steady loss since the mid-60s of confidence in public and

private institutions, the popular disaffection with politicians and

politics, the fears for the nation’s future in a disorderly world.

The American people believed strongly in their way of life and in the

institutions they had created. But they expected competence from their

leaders.

What they are losing faith in is the ability of our institutions or their

leaders either to be responsive or to solve their problems.

The connection between these two, 2 sets of triune concepts is highlighted by another

set of three, 3; this time contributed by business, and not politics. The values that can

be created are reduced into the following three, 3 respectively:

People Value, C

Organisational Value, ROI

Value of the Business Environment, EB and

People value, C connects Age, with Politicians and politics. Organizational Value,

ROI connects Occupation, with Public and private institutions. And the Value of

the Business Environment, EB connects Habitation with A disorderly world. The

implications of these connections may not be immediately apparent. Firstly, the

distinction is made between the first, 1st set of items that refers to the Nigerian State,

which are specific in nature; and the second, 2nd

items that refer to America, which

are more global. Then, note that these two, 2 sets of items represent opposing

political ideals, socialism and capitalism respectively, to describe a contradiction.

However, the third, 3rd

set of items is not only universal, it is at once a reference to

the economy, which is the livewire of any political entity. It serves to resolve the

contradiction that characterizes politics. When politics is organized around the

economy therefore, the social fabric of society can be stabilized.

A more sensitive implication involves the disjointed character of the political

triumvirs. The link between Age, Occupation, and Habitation, may not be

decipherable; neither is that between Politicians and politics, Public and private

institutions, and a disorderly world. But a clear link can be fathomed between

People Value, C; Organizational Value, ROI; and the Value of the Business

Environment, EB. In this case, given the People Value, C the other two, 2 are

determined. It is people who create ROI, according to their competence. And when

competence is trivialized, then the environment is jeopardized, as summarized in the

following quote:

Society is the product of the activities of

humans in nature, but in time it became a

monster that makes people; according to the

culture, values, beliefs, norms, and mores;

which are not necessarily optimized

If this diagnosis is acceptable, then the solution stands out distinctly. Recreate the

environment, as well as the institutions, and the making of a competent people

becomes a breeze. The solution is simply a reversal of the order in which the

problem is created. Imagery.

At Agape Consultants therefore, the work is to build a people, C who are positively

disposed (Attitude?) toward the development of their abilities. The energy that is

required for this process is to be derived in the establishment of institutions, ROI

that motivate the person. And the success or not, of the endeavor is to be tracked by

monitoring the environment, EB to ensure that the appropriate responses to stimuli

are demanded. Serially:

The following four, 4 scales of measurement are generally recognized:

Nominal Scale,

Ordinal Scale,

Ratio Scale and

Absolute Scale

With the nominal scale, it is usually sufficient to know the number of items that

belong to the set. This is achieved by a mere count. The Ordinal scale requires more

details about phenomena. They need to be arranged in a definite order, to define

which of the items is best, and which is next, and so on. More details are still

required with the ratio scale. It is neither sufficient to know the number of items in

the set, nor their ranks. The extent, to which one item is better than the other, needs

to be established. If an item is valued at 50 for instance, and the other is 25; then the

former is twice more valuable than the latter, which is then a mere halve, ½. In all

three, 3 cases, it may not be necessary to know the inner character of the

phenomenon, which is then treated as a black box. So that values are computed by

comparing inputs and outputs, from which the nature of the system is inferred.

With the absolute scale however, the phenomenon needs to be described adequately,

to itemize the essential elements of the system. The black box needs to be defined.

At this level, measurement comprises the following two, 2 steps:

Identify the essential components of the phenomenon, which give it being

Map these into the number line, according to the relationships between them

To describe the black box requires effort, which explains the often preferred indirect

approach to measurement, via the inputs and outputs of the system. This is

especially true with the human system or phenomenon. Like the drainage basin,

with rainfall as input and runoff as output; the human being, with respect to

performance, has knowledge as input, and performance as output. In the same way

that the observed rainfall usually exceeds the runoff, performance and knowledge

are also usually at variance. People tend to know so much, but do so little. Then in

both cases, the challenge would be to define the memory. How does the drainage

basin memory operate to reduce rainfall into runoff? How does the human memory

reduce knowledge into performance? This question has been more professionally

framed in the following parlance:

To what extent are people able,

To turn what they know,

Into what they do?

The critical factor in this conversion is discipline. This is the capacity to do things,

in the way they ought to be done. It is the performance at task, by the standard

procedure. It is Immanuel Kant who distinguished between numina or the-ought,

and phenomena or the way things actually are. When he also opined that numina

could not be known, the implication is that the black box would remain closed. But

thanks to physics, which has defined the universe as self-contained; in agreement

with Feynman, who defined phenomena as waves; and Plato before him, who

reduced nature into the duality of the world of forms and the world of objects; as

well as Einstein, who observed relativity as a fundamental principle of nature. Then,

the natural order, N-O would be outlined by the duality series in operations

research as follows:

Maxima, F1

Minimax, L2

Maximin. L1

Minima, F2

This actually describes nature’s system of values, as well as the essential elements

that define being, to open up the black box. The standard procedure series, SPS is

the analogue of the N-O. It would therefore be sufficient to approximate the SPS, as

evidence of self-containment, like the universe. Another imagery. This is

demonstrated on the soul principle, presented in the series earlier in this work. From

this premise, it makes sense to have reduced being into the following four, 4 realms,

in series:

Soul, F1

Mind, L2

Matter. L1

Spirit, F2

It would be impossible to be, in our universe, without any one of these features. The

minimum requirement for being would be matter. And ultimately, it is the mind that

The Standard Procedure Series

marks the optimum development of the human person. For both, soul and spirit

would be required as sources of the energy for this work, respectively. Until the

human soul is defined, the human person, which is the material equivalent, would

remain a mystery. Similarly, it takes spirit, to unravel the mystery of mind. Spirit

enters mind intuitively, as a form that is characterized by three, 3 features, L, F, and

A; in the same way that waves are characterized by two, 2 features, including

location and size. To translate forms into objects, Platonian style therefore, it would

be sufficient to fission each of the three, 3 features, to derive their wave features.

This gives rise to the six, 6 items of the SPS. To reconstruct the SPS would then be

sufficient evidence that a person is able to turn what they know, into what they do.

And discipline would decline with the deviance from this standard. The personality

is defined at once, because the soul is the product of mind, as presented below:

Thus, creativity is about the projection of a system of values. When a person creates,

they project a certain system of values that defines them uniquely. This defines the

personal order, P-O or Kantian phenomena. But creativity is optimum when the P-

O approximates the N-O or Kantian numina, which’s analogue is the SPS. In this

case, a form is reduced into an object, so that the working of the phenomenon is

outlined. These are the factors or essential features that give the phenomenon its

being. They include the minimum and optimum natures of the phenomenon, which

define the work of optimization that needs to be done; and the energy sources for this

work; as well as the exhaust, which defines the item that is tracked to ensure that the

purpose for which the phenomenon is made is fulfilled.

To calibrate the F-Scale, the first, 1st four, 4 items

on the SPS are scrambled. The task would therefore

be to unscramble them, so that they concatenate

into the fifth, 5th and sixth, 6th items. This requires

that the items which represent work1, work2,

energy1 and energy2 are outlined in

that order; according to which comes first, 1st second, 2nd third, 3rd and forth, 4th

respectively. Each of the four, 4 items is scored, according to how approximately it is

located, to measure the factor-Sn, for Sn = 1 to 4. These scores are concatenated to

evaluate the factor-f0, as a measure of objectivity, f0.

This is the extent to which the P-O or personal system of values approximates the N-O

or natural system of values. It is actually a measure of learning, according to the

acquisition of the pattern of thought, which outlines the pattern of behavior represented

on the SPS. Recall that learning is rooted in desire, which remains dormant until a

decision is made for its fulfillment. Then all the energy that is available for the project is

given, according to the strength of will and commitment, C. This is expended in the

following two, 2 ways:

To derive the procedure for actualization, CWk

To overcome the detractors in the process, CNd

Then, C’ = CWk + CNd. And the factor-C approximates a unity, for C = 1 as the

procedure that is derived approximates the SPS, for f0 = 1. This requires that no energy

is used up to overcome detractors. In other words, the person would have been able to

rise above the vagaries of the environment, for EB → 1. They would have shifted from

the preoccupation with appearances, to the perception of the essential elements of

phenomena. They will have become self-contained. Quote:

A God, who is self-contained

Created a universe that is self-contained

And expects humans to become self-contained

So they can make institutions that are self-contained

The Standard Procedure Series

For organizations to be self-contained, the workforce would have to be self-

contained, performing at task by the standard procedure. This would translate into a

doubling of the investment, for a return on investment, ROI and profit, Pr that are

dual. Formally:

Profit = Revenue – Costs

ROI = Revenue / Costs (ROI is actually profit, expressed as an index)

ROI = Profit / ROI (ROI is a measure of the Monetized ROI)

To double the investment, it would be sufficient that revenue is twice the value of

costs. Then the following relations would define the actual and the expected

measures of the value added, VA respectively:

VA = Revenue – CM (Cost of Materials)

VA’ = 2Profit – ROI

CM = ROI

By the first, 1st law of performance, given the way things ought to be, p the way

things are, b is determined; subject to discipline, 1/10; for b = 1/10 p. Then, the

organization would be disciplined, VA / VA’. The bill of health index, BHI is

derived from evaluations of the business continuity index, BCI and the value

creation index, VCI.
