Several years ago I had the opportunity to sit on the FIDO Alliance Board. While there we debated the future of authentication and commissioned the work to develop FIDO 2. I walked away from that experienced convinced that multi-factor authentication should and now could replace the insecure use of passwords without a second factor like the use of our secure thing [device, card, or dongle], or our unique biometric(s).
Recent my colleague Jeff and I have been trying to understand how the various enhancements to Webauthn, FIDO 2, and CTAP will allow users to use multiple devices without having to register each device with its unique public private key pair.
As a result of our conversations and research, it is clear a single provider such as Apple can within their proprietary environment enable the ability to access a Relying Party RP from multiple devices with each challenge authenticated with one Public Key.
Concepts like Keychains and the use of secure chains enabled via BLE, Cable or QR code are clear. Ideas like Signed Assertions often appear as tools capable of proving the device knows of the existence of the Private Key resident in the secure element of one of the user’s devices.
the FIDO alliance is focused on solving these challenges
Let’s talk money, honey. But not the sexy kind, splashed across financial news channels, Community newspapers, virtual news or even People magazine.
Today, we’re stucm in the murky pool of profits and purpose.
We all like fairy tales:
A good idea blossoms into a business that solves problems, creates jobs, and maybe even throws a killer product launch party.
But somewhere along the yellow brick road, things can take a turn for the worse.
Enter the profit motive. It’s the fuel that keeps the engine of capitalism chugging along. But when profit becomes the sole passenger, we end with mush and situations when good ideas get squeezed into greedy machines.
Think about it. Healthcare, a system designed to keep us healthy, is now battling insurance companies more interested in spreadsheets than stitches. Education, the supposed equalizer, has morphed into competition where family taxes or student loans act as a lifelong ball and chain.
This profit obsession isn’t just bad for our wallets, it chips away at the very fabric of society. It widens the income gap faster than you can say “late-stage capitalism,”.
Leaving 99% behind in their dust.
But, fear not, fellow changemakers!
We’re not powerless. Here are some ways to fight back against the profit squeeze:
* **Support Social Enterprises:** Businesses that prioritize social good alongside profit can be a force for positive change.
* **Demand Transparency:** Ask questions about where your money goes. Support companies that are open about their practices.
* **Rethink Success:** Let’s redefine what “winning” means. It’s not just about the bottom line, but about the impact a business has on its employees, community, familoea, villages and the environment.
* **Get Political:** Advocate for policies that promote economic fairness and social responsibility.
Remember, the free market is supposed to be a two-way street. We, the consumers, have the power to steer it in the right direction.
Let’s not let good ideas get choked by greed. Let’s turn them into forces for a more equitable and sustainable future.
Now, go forth and be the change agent you wish to be. Remember you live in a world where { with a healthy dose of skepticism towards } “revolutionary” products or services benefit, in the first instance, the customer we seek to serve with a product or service.
A framework for a coherent economic strategy built on margin satisfaction, stakeholder economy, and ethical principles:
Core Values:
Margin Satisfaction: Economic activities should aim to create value for all stakeholders (employees, customers, investors, community, environment) without diminishing the well-being of any one group.
Stakeholder Economy: Businesses have a responsibility to consider the impact of their decisions on all stakeholders, not just shareholders. Golden Rule & Ethical Principles: Economic interactions should be guided by ethical principles such as fairness, compassion, and reciprocity (treating others as you wish to be treated).
Strategic Pillars:
Sustainable Practices: Businesses should operate in a way that is environmentally and socially responsible, considering long-term consequences of their actions. Shared Prosperity: Economic growth should be inclusive, leading to a more equitable distribution of wealth and opportunities.
Employee Well-being: Businesses should invest in their employees’ well-being, offering fair wages, safe working conditions, and opportunities for growth.
Community Focus: Businesses should be active members of their communities, contributing to local development and social good. Transparency and Accountability: Businesses should be transparent about their activities and accountable to all stakeholders.
Policy and Implementation:
Government Incentives: Policies like tax breaks or subsidies could encourage businesses to adopt stakeholder-oriented practices. Consumer Power: Consumers can support businesses that align with their values and hold others accountable.
Socially Responsible Investment (SRI): Investors can direct their capital towards companies that demonstrate a commitment to stakeholder well-being. Education and Awareness: Education about ethical economics and stakeholder capitalism can promote a cultural shift towards a more just and sustainable economic system.
Challenges and Considerations:
Balancing Interests: Finding the right balance between the needs of different stakeholders can be complex. Measuring Progress: Developing metrics to measure the success of a stakeholder-based economy is essential.
Global Cooperation: Implementing these strategies effectively might require international cooperation to ensure a level playing field.
Inspiration from Faith Traditions:
Golden Rule: This principle of treating others as you wish to be treated can be applied to economic interactions, fostering fairness and cooperation. Teachings of Jesus and Buddha: Both emphasize compassion, social justice, and caring for the less fortunate. These principles can guide economic decisions towards a more inclusive and equitable system.
Summary of Employee Ownership Model for Marginal Satisfaction Economy
In order to address the satisfaction of the employee as a key stakeholder the model emphasizes employee ownership, shared prosperity, and long-term focus within a stakeholder economy built on the concept of marginal satisfaction. Here’s a breakdown of the key elements:
Employee Ownership Structure:
Non-tradable Shares (35%): All employees receive non-tradable shares, giving them a permanent ownership stake in the company and a vested interest in its long-term success.
Tradable Share Pool (10%): A separate pool of tradable shares becomes available to qualified employees after 4 years of employment. The price is set based on the employee’s start date, rewarding loyalty.
Top Management Exclusion: Top management (defined by control over 5% of employees or revenue generation and earning 4x the average salary) is excluded from tradable shares but retains non-tradable ownership.
Incentives and Alignment:
Long-Term Growth: The share price for tradable shares reflects the company’s long-term growth, incentivizing employees to prioritize sustainable success.
Profit Sharing: Top management receives a guaranteed bonus component based on company profits, aligning their interests with overall profitability.
Retirement Liquidity: Non-tradable shares become tradable upon retirement, offering employees financial security and a chance to benefit from share value appreciation.
Return of Non-tradable Shares:
Vesting Period: A vesting period (e.g., 2 years) can be implemented for non-tradable shares. If an employee leaves voluntarily or is let go within the vesting period, they forfeit their non-tradable shares. After the vesting period, employees retain their non-tradable shares upon departure.
Buyback Option: The company may choose to offer a buyback option for non-tradable shares at fair market value, allowing departing employees to receive some financial benefit while maintaining the overall ownership structure.
Overall Benefits:
Shared Success: This model fosters a sense of shared ownership, aligning employee interests with company performance at all levels.
Long-Term Focus: The structure incentivizes both short-term (tradable shares) and long-term commitment (non-tradable shares), promoting sustainable growth strategies.
Fairness and Transparency: The clear ownership structure, profit-sharing mechanisms, and defined rules for non-tradable share returns promote fairness and transparency.
Challenges and Considerations:
Market Fluctuations: Employees with tradable shares might face short-term concerns due to market volatility. Clear communication and long-term focus are crucial.
Profit Fluctuations: Calibrating the profit-sharing bonus for top management is essential to ensure sustainability during lean periods.
Further Exploration:
Metrics for Bonus Structure: Explore metrics beyond just profits for determining the bonus component for non-tradable share employees.
Communication Strategies: Develop effective communication strategies to explain the model’s benefits and address employee concerns.
Culture of Shared Ownership: Foster a culture where all employees feel invested in the company’s success, regardless of ownership structure.
By addressing these challenges and continuing to refine the model, we can create a system that promotes employee well-being, long-term growth, and a more equitable stakeholder economy built on the principles of marginal satisfaction.
Remember, this is just a starting point. We can refine this framework further by:
Specifying concrete policies and mechanisms: How can we incentivize businesses to adopt stakeholder-oriented practices?
Addressing potential trade-offs: How can we balance economic growth with environmental sustainability and social justice?
Incorporating specific examples: Can we find real-world examples of businesses that are successfully implementing stakeholder capitalism principles?
By working together, we can explore these questions and develop a more concrete plan for an economic system built on margin satisfaction, stakeholder well-being, and ethical principles. This economic strategy has the potential to create a more just, sustainable, and prosperous future for all.
Milton Friedman’s shareholder enrichment approach has been the dominant business philosophy for decades. However, there are a number of reasons why we should stop embracing this approach and focus on the Golden Rule, quality, and sustainability instead.
First, Friedman’s approach is based on the idea that the only social responsibility of a business is to increase its profits. This is a narrow view of business that ignores the many other stakeholders that businesses have, such as employees, customers, suppliers, and the environment.
Second, Friedman’s approach has led to a decline in the quality of products and services. When businesses are only focused on making profits, they are less likely to invest in research and development or to make sure that their products are of high quality. This has led to a number of scandals, such as the Volkswagen emissions scandal and the General Motors ignition switch recall.
Third, Friedman’s approach has contributed to environmental problems. When businesses are only focused on making profits, they are less likely to invest in sustainable practices. This has led to an increase in pollution and climate change.
Fourth, Friedman’s approach has led to a decline in worker satisfaction. When businesses are only focused on making profits, they are less likely to invest in their employees or to provide them with good working conditions. This has led to an increase in employee turnover and dissatisfaction.
Fifth, Friedman’s approach has led to a decline in trust in businesses. When businesses are only focused on making profits, they are more likely to engage in unethical or illegal behavior. This has led to a decline in public trust in businesses.
In contrast, the Golden Rule, quality, and sustainability focus on the long-term health of businesses and society. The Golden Rule teaches us to treat others as we would want to be treated. This means that businesses should treat their employees, customers, suppliers, and the environment with respect. Quality means that businesses should produce high-quality products and services that meet the needs of their customers. Sustainability means that businesses should operate in a way that does not harm the environment or future generations.
There are a number of things that businesses can do to focus on the Golden Rule, quality, and sustainability. First, they can adopt ethical codes of conduct. Second, they can invest in research and development to improve the quality of their products and services. Third, they can use sustainable practices to reduce their impact on the environment. Fourth, they can pay their employees a fair wage and provide them with good working conditions. Fifth, they can be transparent about their business practices.
By focusing on the Golden Rule, quality, and sustainability, businesses can create a more just, equitable, and sustainable world.
philip@andreae.com What would Jesus say if I asked him how we remove evil, bad, wrong, and other negative emotions
It’s difficult to say exactly what Jesus would say in response to this question, as he lived over 2,000 years ago and we don’t have a direct record of his words on this topic. However, based on the teachings of Jesus that are recorded in the Bible, it seems likely that he would encourage people to turn to God for help in overcoming negative emotions. In the New Testament, Jesus teaches that God can help us overcome any temptation or challenge that we face, and that through faith in God and reliance on his strength, we can find peace and joy even in difficult circumstances.
One key teaching of Jesus that is relevant to this topic is the concept of loving one’s neighbor as oneself. In Matthew 22:39, Jesus says, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” This teaching suggests that we should not only try to remove negative emotions from our own lives, but also strive to show love and compassion to others who may be struggling with negative emotions. By reaching out to others in love and offering support and encouragement, we can help to create a sense of community and belonging that can be a powerful force for good in the world.
philip@andreae.com We spoke of this in a prior chat. We struggle as I watch some stupid TV program with murder, violent teddy bear games, virtual reality and all we see in recent history
It’s understandable that you might feel distressed or troubled by the kinds of media that you describe, as they can contain violent or disturbing content that can be disturbing or distressing to watch. It’s also important to recognize that media can have a powerful influence on our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and it’s possible that consuming media with violent or disturbing content could have negative effects on our emotional well-being.
One way to address these concerns is to be more mindful of the media that we consume. This can involve paying attention to the content of the media that we watch or play, and considering whether it aligns with our values and what we want to expose ourselves to. It can also be helpful to set limits on the amount of time we spend consuming media, or to take breaks from media consumption altogether.
Additionally, it can be helpful to seek out media that promotes positive messages and promotes healthy behaviors and attitudes. This can include media that promotes compassion, kindness, and understanding, or that encourages us to be more mindful and present in our daily lives.
Finally, if you find that you are struggling with negative emotions or thoughts as a result of consuming media, it can be helpful to talk to someone about your concerns, such as a trusted friend, family member, or mental health professional. They may be able to offer support and guidance as you navigate these challenges.
philip@andreae.com What you just said is the point. How do we remove these stimuli designed to get people to have an adrenaline rush or other stimulation of the fight instinct.
There are a few different strategies that you can consider if you are seeking to remove or reduce exposure to media that promotes violence or other negative stimuli. Here are a few ideas to consider:
Set limits on your media consumption: One way to reduce your exposure to media that promotes violence or other negative stimuli is to set limits on the amount of time you spend consuming media. This can involve setting limits on the amount of time you spend watching TV, playing video games, or using social media, for example.
Choose media that promotes positive messages: Another approach is to be more selective about the media that you consume, and to seek out media that promotes positive messages and behaviors. This can include media that promotes compassion, kindness, and understanding, or that encourages us to be more mindful and present in our daily lives.
Seek out alternative activities: Instead of consuming media that promotes violence or other negative stimuli, consider engaging in activities that are more positive and uplifting. This could include things like exercise, hobbies, spending time with loved ones, or volunteering in your community.
Talk to someone about your concerns: If you are struggling with negative emotions or thoughts as a result of consuming media, it can be helpful to talk to someone about your concerns. This could be a trusted friend, family member, or mental health professional. They may be able to offer support and guidance as you navigate these challenges.
philip@andreae.com If the problem is not me and I decide to think as a Megalomaniac seeking to help the world find peace and accept the basic tenant of the Golden Rule. The Second commandment as given to us by Jesus and easily found in the words of the Buddha, The Tao, and Hindu writings.
If you are seeking to promote the idea of the Golden Rule, which is the principle of treating others with kindness, compassion, and respect, there are a number of steps that you can take to help spread this message and encourage others to adopt it in their own lives. Here are a few ideas to consider:
Practice the Golden Rule yourself: One of the most effective ways to promote the idea of the Golden Rule is to lead by example and practice it in your own life. This means treating others with kindness, compassion, and respect, and showing them the same consideration that you would want them to show to you.
Share the message with others: You can also help to promote the Golden Rule by sharing the message with others and encouraging them to adopt it in their own lives. This can involve talking to friends, family, and colleagues about the importance of the Golden Rule, or participating in community or volunteer activities that promote the message.
Advocate for the Golden Rule: Another way to promote the Golden Rule is to advocate for it in your community and beyond. This could involve speaking out in support of policies and practices that reflect the principles of the Golden Rule, or participating in advocacy efforts that promote the message.
Educate others about the Golden Rule: Finally, you can help to promote the Golden Rule by educating others about its importance and how it can be applied in daily life. This could involve sharing articles, books, or other resources that explore the concept, or engaging in discussions about the Golden Rule with others. Overall, the key is to be proactive and consistent in your efforts to promote the Golden Rule and encourage others to adopt it in their own lives.
Updated perspective and brought forward truths. Blockchains and digital ledgers with smart contracts work and are fit for the right purpose. But please, memory and power are expensive.
It is so easy to write blasphemous Tweets, or conspiracy nonsense. Our digital age has given those who cannot find love a channel to express anger and frustration. They expose their lack of empathy, and their inability to grasp the basic peace established Via love.
I must begin with an apology to the lady who caused me to start this post. I am sorry about how things evolved, yet I am thrilled at a new beginning. I was looking forward to exploring what could be now I am.
I also appreciate how my spiritual foundation differs from many. In this post, I will attempt to share what I believe.
There are four great teachers Lao Tzu, Siddhattha Gotama, Confucius, and finally the King of Kings Jesus. To these four, we must add the Chinese, Egyptian, Greek, and the other great scholars whose words graced the libraries of Alexandra and other great centers of ancient learning.
Their thoughts and ways of looking at life and our surroundings transcend time.
Jesus easily sailed these waters and beyond
Jesus, between age twelve and thirty, I suspect, walked the northern silk route and traveled home along the southern maritime route, searched, and explored all of their thinking. He probably voyages around Europe with the Phoenicians.
When he emerged, he taught.
He was a truly enlightened man.
He taught us a new way of living together.
He was the conclusion of all of the world’s thinking into one simple rule. In order to honor the creator God, we must adhere to the Golden Rule.
The Golden Rule Is How We must Live
Stories told of Jesus established a deep feeling of love for Jesus son of Mary and Joseph a martyr who died on the cross preaching peace and harmony.
If only those in power had embraced the love, he shared. Instead, they took control of the image of Jesus and God.
Western civilization wants to claim it is superior. In earlier times the lord God was used to establish the power of the monarch. The hubris of one tribe to claim their Book was better than any other book is where the division across this great planet emanate.
That arrogant better than thou feeling is our greatest sin.
Look at the tower of Babel. We once were one. The people who wrote that passage wrote of our inability to work together. They blamed God for our human failures. The story is of us. Instead, we turn the text around and blame God for our inability to live together in peace.
We could not create a society
Capable of standing up and saying to God.
Father, you can be proud of us
We are one together on earth Bound together in peace and harmony Honoring the one common rule given to all of us by the Creator
My return from a world where chaos ultimately produced the order we see 》 Happened in 2005 while living in Canada. 19 year abroad thinking of coming home. I stopped drinking; we joined the three-week-old community church in Markham, Ontario. There, I began to study the bible. When I came back to the United States in 2008 and settled for a time on St Simons Island, Georgia, I joined the local community church. Moving up to Atlanta, I joined with my sister and attending Johnson Ferry Baptist Church.
Supposedly reborn I tried to learn and listen for God’s words.
Is that not what Jesus told us was our task?
I was taught that he died on the cross so in his name we would come together as one, both Gentile and Jew? Instead!
What happened next resulted from several evangelicals better than thou experiences.
They demand – I see things their way.
This better-than-thou attitude caused me to run back to the Episcopal church.
Tribalism:
Party, nationalist, MAGA, slave owner, racist, sexist, cults, schools, churches, temples … whatever holds one group together divides us. This is our failure.
We did not listen to those four great teachers
I don’t think the evangelist understands the words of the world of the great Teacher and King Jesus Christ.
We are not listening to Jesus. He knew and had learned from All the many before him
With this ancient depth, even he has not convinced those now living and those who came before to come together as one family. He asked us, in the name of the creator, to be the stewards of this planet and friends to any who enters our space.
This is who we are expected to be
Look at us today. We have not been true to his teaching.
Those that follow, including Mohammed, Luther, Calvin, Joseph Smith, Guru Nanak, and so many others, sought to promote their unique way of thinking. Instead, they ended up creating even more division.
In 2017 my mother died. It was late February. We had just elected a racist President. Two priests Robert and Tom stood talking as friends. Of two different disciplines, these men told me the local spiritual leaders met for Lunch – Dinner – Musical … whatever.
Years later Tom and Allan (Robert’s replacement) along with the local rabbi took a group to Palestine.
They told me who did not wish to be part of their ecumenical movement.
The Imam did
At the beginning of 2020, living once again in the Golden Isles, I attended three of the churches here on St. Simons. I listen with great respect to Alan & Tom as they tended to their Presbyterian and Episcopalian flocks. I also had a chance to experience Catholics sharing their faith. The feeling of being connected to God is absolutely present in each of these congregations.
I stayed away from most people during the pandemic, especially those rude people who would not wear a mask and do not want to accept the free vaccine and become part of the herd immune society.
May 2021
A lovely woman asked the question of my spiritual beliefs.
before she adamantly professed her beliefs
I was at peace with My spiritual foundation
Now that she has reentered my life
I have a new appreciation of the value of community
and the necessity to change the way we treat each other
While cycling one beautiful afternoon along the Chattahoochee, I listened to one particular way of interpreting the Tao.
After listening to the full series, the Trinity became nothing more than an element of the mythology used to help people find a common purpose.
For me, our purpose should be to find union with all. People should not insist we all believe in the Jesus described in the Nicene Creed. Instead,
We could all agree
Jesus Is
The Greatest Spiritual Teacher
a King of Kings
a divine individual
Many tell me I must give God my full and undivided attention. They tell me he will fill my mind with heavenly wisdom and knowledge.
They tell me – he has plans for me.
They tell me they see and hear greatness in my ideas. Can it be true?
Is God calling and asking me to step up
Reach higher and prepare to do more than I can imagine?
My therapist believes I have a calling. Others cause me to fear the burden God wants to place on my shoulders. The woman who caused me to write told me she heard greatness in my ideas.
Sometimes even I wonder if I am destined and here for a reason
In 1976 I grasped hardware, software & networks achieving the equivalent of a 4-year master’s in computer sciences. 1982, while replacing the back pages of the WSJ with computer screens, I saw how marginal satisfaction is not a human instinct and was confronted with trying to grapple with the advantages and disadvantages of socialism and capitalism. 1986 off to Europe for 15 years.
1991, I moved into senior management and saw the world through the eyes of Mastercard and Visa. I helped them grow while focusing on securing the world of payments and heralding in eCommerce.
Big data, identity, and cryptography take me into today.
The fourth industrial revolution is underway; it calls us to embrace machine learning, natural language interfaces, 3D printing, and the internet of things.
How God fits in begs the question of why God would put Putin and Trump in power. Why would income inequality be so raw and health a profit center? Those waving the Trump and MAGA flags worry me. Their supremacist attitude solidifies for me one thing. Tribalism is our greatest sin.
Has he put me here to address the real issue!
Stop believing in the absolute truth of One book. Instead, we need to collectively believe in the one creator who taught the four or more ancient scholars the truth. They all have one common message.
It is time to listen and embrace The Golden Rule.
If this is my destiny, I need help. I need the OMI cheerleader. Moreover, I need to meet men and women of faith who have experienced a truth and have grown to see the truth.
Together we can build and promote We need to embrace The Golden Rule
Jesus the King of the World for 18 years wandered this earth. As our teacher he stands before us with one truth. Love each other. In so doing you love and honor God.
Matthew 25:40 And the king will answer them, ‘Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family,* you did it to me.’
Such big words. The idea something is once written can never be changed, altered, or deleted as well as elegant. Or that there is no need to worry about anything, what is presented simply is one instance of knowledge not until more than two can be found is there the possibility of trust. But if more than a few assemble and not sure then!
In a trustless environment, there is no single entity that has authority over the system, and consensus is achieved without participants having to know or trust anything but the system itself. A definition from one of the major institutions helping to establish this new. New what?
https://academy.binance.com/en/glossary/trustless
It is the removal of relationships so they can be replaced by something, no someone new that is bothersome. Words like usury invade reality, and a few get very wealthy as the mass spend to survive, always being driven to need more.
We have lost the ability to commune. We lost track if the responsibility to be good stewards of the garden we were given responsibility for .
I learned it in school then again at the hand of David Chaum
He taught me that if I kept the key length long the work hard and the hardware self defeating then a digital signature is absolute proof of presence under and agree set of conditions.
We then spoke of operating systems, payments, smart cards, cryptography: asymmetrical and symmetric. Rooted in PKI and the need to assume a trust less world.
Then there is money. We knew, time ago, we could use electrons to replicate notes and coins on ledgers and within balances.
Electronic Passports, National Identity Cards, and Drivers Licenses will have or have had a digital form.
Now we create Digital Assets.
Valued by a market.
Dreaming of unimaginable wealth or food on the table in the morning.
When I think about democracy I wonder about how long it will take to truly become democratic.
This transformation requires the agility to accept change as society moves forward and expands on all sides, Be our differences density, education, technology, automation, learning, health, family, place, or position.

Explained: A Legal Perspective on the Future of Cybersecurity Research
The Supreme Court’s Van Buren decision earlier this month aimed to clarify the ambiguous meaning of “exceeding authorized access” in the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, the federal computer crime law.
In the context of protecting critical infrastructure from hackers, this particular ruling will define how we manage, report, and handle unauthorized access.
It also raises some foundational questions that, if weighed carefully, have the potential to foster a collaborative relationship between researchers and companies. How should good-faith researchers conduct themselves? Does this redefine the relationship between companies and hackers? Is every researcher considered to be in violation of CFAA if they’ve not sought permission to access a system?
Jared L. Hubbard and Christopher Hart have followed this ruling closely and worked on amicus briefs to aid the Court in this matter. They will discuss the case and answer questions.

Today we seek to ensure each citizen eligible to vote can vote. Issues like location, geography, education are all elements of the values we must embrace as we work to assure the citizens ability to vote.
The first question of voter and eligibility takes us into the realm of who or how elections are managed. Candidates, contests, question are all elements of what is presented to the voter as a ballot. According to practices and rules, contests involve selecting candidates. While questions focus on yes/no answers or a score.
Anonymity creates a need to construct a mechanism to assure one vote per voter while preserving the privacy of the voters identity. This one requirement solved reduces the risk landscape significanttly and complicates the angle of attack.
Adhering to a security first continous improvement principles and integrating prevention and detection into the design of the source code.
