I found a significant paragraf:

Maybe a suitable framework could be found in a modest article of mine:
"Information or knowledge warfare" published on the site:
http://members.tripod.com/~THREENITY/index.html
It is not on an academic level that could be expected when dealing with
such a "serious" matter, but the intention was indeed to make it
comprehensive to common, decission making, people. Furthermore, my
"excellent" English was of great help in making it as simple as it was at
the end.
I would appreciate any comment on the ideas there mentioned, especially
those negative, because the negative feedback commonly makes the system
more stable, while the positive one usually brings it in a more labile
state, and I'm not enthusiastic of being unstable.
Thank you for your consideration.
