ON A GENERIC MODELING PROCESS OF AN EXPERT SYSTEM FOR ETHICAL ORGANIZATIONAL ADMINISTRATION
James Steve Counelis · Cybernetics & Systems · 1986
An expert system in ethical organizational administration is a new and appropriate venture for workers in artificial intelligence. The positive relationship between knowledge and belief along with the inextricable connection of fact to value set the general systems design for this modeling process. The premises of general systems theory dictate the modeling of an holistic ethical system. The pattern of the holistic ethical system of Orthodox Christianity is used to design the flow diagram of the decision-making and judgment-making processes in ethical thought. There are seven symbolic propositions that detail these ethical processes. With the public language of the United States being secular, four Orthodox Christian ethical principles were transformed from their biblical and theological language into four university ethical policies using secular language. The writer's future design of computer software will confirm or deny the wisdom of this approach to modeling an ethical system.
