Expanding Triadic Systems Analysis

Expanding Triadic Systems Analysis

In this post the idea was introduced that any system, and any system element, can be analysed using three primary logical constructs:

  • Logic: The internal system / component logic.
  • Energy: The internal system / component energy source.
  • Control: Governing controls that regulate system functioning to within allowable limits.

This triadic analysis is useful in the context of a qualitative programming due to:

  • Its universality, which means it can be applied to any domain.
  • Its recursive nature, which means that the same type of analysis can be applied recursively to achieve greater and greater system resolution until the desired level of granularity has been reached.

In order to embed triadic systems analysis into the structure of a qualitative programming language, we would need to implement triadic analysis in the program’s data types, functions and operators.

Representing Dynamic State

In addition to triadic structural systems analysis, we can also identify three basic aspects of any system / element that describe its dynamic existence: input, state and output.

  • Input: The input aspect pertains to all external factors or resources that a system / entity receives. These inputs serve as the primary materials or conditions required for the subsequent processes that the system / entity undertakes.
  • State: The state represents the current condition or “snapshot” of the system, influenced by its history of inputs and the internal processes it has undergone.
  • Output: The output aspect of a system / entity refers to the resultant products, changes, or effects it brings about in response to its inputs and influenced by its internal state.

For example, for a tree:

  • Input: A tree absorbs sunlight, carbon dioxide, water, and nutrients from the soil.
  • State: The internal state of a tree at any given moment is represented by its overall health or vitality, its growth phase, the robustness of its roots, its hydration level and its photosynthesis level.
  • Output: Outputs of a tree include released oxygen, the sugars transported through its sap, fruits borne, and the shedding of leaves in autumn.

We can combine triadic systems analysis together with the basic notions of input, state and output to produce the following matrix.

Input State Output
Energy Refers to the external resources or raw materials required by the system. For a tree, this would be sunlight, water, and nutrients from the soil. Represents the current level of stored or potential energy within the system. In a tree, it could be its stored nutrients and hydration level. The utilisation or release of energy. For a tree, this could be the sugar used in growth or fruits.
Logic Pertains to external directives or triggers for the system’s decision-making processes. In a tree, it might be the seasonal cues that determine growth patterns. Reflects the current decision-making framework or “thinking” mode of the system. For a tree, it might be its current growth strategy based on environmental conditions. The decisions or actions taken as a result of processing inputs. For a tree, it could be branching out roots towards a water source.
Control Involves the external regulatory factors or conditions that might modify or direct the system’s activities. For a tree, it might be the presence of certain hormones or chemicals. Represents the current regulatory and balancing mechanisms active within the system. In a tree, it might be internal feedback loops managing growth. The corrective actions or regulatory processes initiated by the system. For a tree, it could be shedding leaves in response to reduced water availability.

Or, for an economy:

Input State Output
Energy Refers to the primary resources or inputs that fuel economic activities. This includes raw materials, human capital, financial capital, and technology. Represents the accumulated wealth, stored value, or potential economic activity. It could be in the form of capital reserves, investments, infrastructure, and human skill sets. The tangible and intangible products and services produced by the economy. This includes GDP, technological innovations, consumer products, and services.
Logic Pertains to external or internal triggers that influence economic decisions. This might be consumer demands, geopolitical events, trade policies, or global market trends. Reflects the decision-making processes or strategies that guide economic actions. This might include fiscal policies, monetary policies, trade strategies, or market dynamics. The decisions or actions taken based on the analysis of inputs. This could involve opening or closing markets, adjusting interest rates, or making large-scale public investments.
Control Involves the regulatory and oversight mechanisms that aim to ensure the economy functions within desired parameters. This includes laws, regulations, and oversight bodies. Represents the current set of active regulatory mechanisms and checks and balances. It could be anti-monopoly regulations, banking oversight mechanisms, or fiscal watchdogs. The enforcement actions, modifications, or guidance provided to steer the economy in the desired direction. This might involve adjusting tax rates, implementing stimulus packages, or imposing trade tariffs.

Or, for a business process:

Input State Output
Energy Refers to the resources needed to initiate and maintain the process. This includes manpower, raw materials, data, technology, and financial resources. Represents the current capacity, potential, and readiness of the process. This might involve stock inventory, technology readiness, and workforce availability and morale. The tangible or intangible products or results from the process. This can range from manufactured goods, processed data, rendered services, or any value-addition.
Logic Pertains to the triggers or directives that initiate or modify the process. This could be customer orders, market demand, business strategy, or feedback loops. Reflects the current procedural flow, decision points, and prioritizations within the process. This encompasses the set patterns, sequences, conditions, and thresholds that dictate process flow. The decisions made or actions taken at each step of the process, leading to the final outcome. This could involve task assignments, quality checks, approval/rejection decisions, or any procedural step completion.
Control Involves the standards, benchmarks, regulations, or guidelines that oversee the process. This includes quality standards, regulatory compliance, safety protocols, and organizational SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures). Represents the monitoring, audit, or supervision mechanisms currently in place. This can be process checkpoints, quality control measures, and real-time monitoring tools. The corrective actions, feedback, or adjustments made to ensure the process is on track and meeting its goals. This might involve recalibrating machinery, retraining personnel, or rerouting resources.

Conclusion

By adding Input, State and Control aspects to triadic analysis within the structure of a qualitative programming language, we provide the potential to easily perform dynamic state modelling based on the initial structural analysis.

Graphical Industrial Design using Bing AI

Graphical Industrial Design using Bing AI

In this previous post I introduced the idea of qualitative programming, i.e. of developing programs that can process qualitative data natively (instead of having to convert qualitative data to digital form, process the digital data, and then convert the result back to a useful qualitative representation for the end user).

The following information process was suggested:

  1. Accept human input via a UI.
  2. Perform qualitative analysis of the human input.
  3. Process the discrete (analysed) qualitative components of the input.
  4. Reassemble the qualitative program output into a material, holistic form.
  5. Present the output to the user.

In this post, I will attempt to apply this method to graphical industrial design.

Choosing a Problem

Interior Design is a relatively easy problem for an AI image processor. This is because the graphical design consists of the placement of discrete elements, e.g. furniture and plants, within an image (as opposed to the holistic design of a single artifact, such as a car or a watch). So I have chosen Interior Design as the subject of this experiment.

Applying the above method should allow application of the following AI-driven design process.

Qualitative Programming Step Application
Accept human input via a UI. Allow input of an Interior Design image / textual description.
Perform qualitative analysis of the human input, in human terms. Analyse the moods invoked by the design.
Process the discrete qualitative aspects of the program input. Adjust the design to suit the required mood.
Reassemble the qualitative program output into a holistic form. Combine the unchanged and adjusted parts of the Interior Design layout.
Present the output to the user. Present a final Interior Design image to the user.

Qualitative Vectors of Interior Design

In this post I introduced the idea that any system can be defined using three basic qualities:

  • Logical component
  • Control component
  • Energy component

Applying this qualitative analysis paradigm to Interior Design gives approximately:

Qualitative Component Equivalent in Interior Design
Logical Functional aspect
Control Austerity aspect
Energy Fun vibe aspect

This means that the qualitative aspects of any interior design can be defined in terms of its functional aspect, austerity aspect and fun, vibe aspect.

Uncontrolled Output

Let’s ask Bing AI to create

  • a functional design for a living room,
  • an austere design for a living room and
  • a fun, lively design for a living room.



These designs are extreme and not very useful, let’s see if we can get Bing AI to generate some more subtle living room layouts.

Qualitatively Modifying an Existing Interior Design

Instead of asking Bing AI to create a layout for a living room from scratch, let’s ask it to modify an existing design, by enhancing the functional, austerity, and fun aspects of the existing design.

The base living room design is this image:

Qualitatively modifying this design gives the following results.





Together, these 12 images show subtle variations on a theme of the basic original design, and provide useful food for thought when considering an actual living room layout.

Combining Designs

Let’s say we want to combine two living room layouts and see what the result would look like. There are two ways we can do this; we can either just ask Bing AI to combine the images and see what it comes up with, or we can specify which aspects of the designs we want Bing AI to combine. This second option gives us more control over the results and allows us to experiment with different variations of combinations.

One of the images used in this experiment is the layout shown above, the other is this living room design:

First, let’s try a simple combination:

Now let’s try combining specific aspects of the two designs.

This gives the following results.

In this case, it is not clear which aspects of the images have been kept and merged, but this text suggestion did produce different results than the original simple merge request, and therefore could be modified to produce variations on a theme of the original designs.

Conclusion

Bing AI as a general purpose tool is probably not quite there yet in terms of extracting specific qualitative aspects of Interior Decoration designs and recombining them, but it is an interesting tool that is capable of generating that exhibit different moods and nuances and that can serve as food for thought for actual designs.

Presumably future versions of Bing AI will possess more powerful feature extraction and recombination faculties that will make it a more suitable tool for generating mood-driven industrial designs.

Note:

  • All images in this post were generated with Bing AI chat set to “More Precise”.
  • If Bing AI goes on strike and suddenly tells you that it is incapable of generating images, close the browser tab and try again.

Qualitative Programming using ChatGPT

Qualitative Programming using ChatGPT

Traditional computer programming relies on manipulating well defined quanta, for example, numbers, Boolean values or strings. However, people don’t function at this level, they tend to be more holistic and conceptual.

Therefore, to create a computer system that takes human input, processes it and produces a meaningful output, the following steps are necessary:

  1. Accept human input via a UI.
  2. Convert human input to discrete quanta.
  3. Process the discrete quanta.
  4. Reassemble the program’s output into a human-conceptual form.
  5. Present the output to the user.

Leveraging the Power of AI Chatbots

AI chatbots such as ChatGPT change this paradigm, since they are effectively capable of native qualitative information processing. This means that (from a user perspective) they can natively analyse and process information that is meaningful to humans.

Subsequently, we can use the following information processing paradigm:

  1. Accept human input via a UI.
  2. Perform qualitative analysis of the human input.
  3. Process the discrete (analysed) qualitative components of the input.
  4. Reassemble the qualitative program output into a material, holistic form.
  5. Present the output to the user.

In other words, ChatGPT et al entirely change the programming landscape by allowing native qualitative data processing.

Using Transactional Analysis for Mood Analysis

Transactional Analysis is an psychoanalytical method that allows us to identify the mood components represented by a physical artifact, such as a recipe. 

  • For a brief introduction to Transactional Analysis, see this post.
  • For an example of how a “Transactional Analysis”-like method can be used in conceptual problem solving using ChatGPT, see this post.

The following example shows how we can apply this method to adjusting a recipe to suit the user’s mood.

Generating Mood Based Recipes with ChatGPT

As an example of qualitative data processing, it is possible to ask ChatGPT to perform mood analysis of a recipe, i.e. it is possible to ask ChatGPT to analyse the moods that are invoked by a recipe, as well as analysing the basic nutritional value provided by a recipe. After ChatGPT has identified the mood of the recipe, we can then ask ChatGPT to create a new recipe based on an adjusted mood.

  • Input: An existing recipe.
  • Task: Based on mood, adjust the recipe accordingly.
  • Output: New recipe adjusted to suit mood.

In this case ChatGPT has performed the following processing steps.

Qualitative Programming Step Example scenario
Accept human input via a UI. The recipe.
Perform qualitative analysis of the human input, in human terms. Analyse the moods invoked by the recipe.
Process the discrete qualitative aspects of the program input. Adjust that part of the recipe that reflects the user’s mood.
Reassemble the qualitative program output into a holistic form. Combine the unchanged and adjusted parts of the recipe.
Present the output to the user. Present a new recipe to the user.

In everyday life, we are used to the idea of cause and effect. That means that when we try to do something, we expect an outcome similar to the effort we put in. However, sometimes our actions backfire and result in the exact opposite of what we intended.

This effect is called the Law of Unintended Consequences, which Wikipedia defines as follows:

In the social sciences, unintended consequences are outcomes of a purposeful action that are not intended or foreseen. Unintended consequences can be grouped into three types:

  • Unexpected benefit: A positive unexpected benefit (also referred to as luck, serendipity or a windfall).
  • Unexpected drawback: An unexpected detriment occurring in addition to the desired effect.
  • Perverse result: A perverse effect contrary to what was originally intended.

When can we expect an opposite outcome from our actions, and why does this happen?

Areas of Human Endeavour

Generally speaking, we can divide all human experiences into three areas:

  • Self: Internal (intrapersonal) experiences, for example: eating good food, intellectual stimulation and exercise.
  • Other: Interpersonal experiences that involve interaction with others, for example: making friends, being part of a community and participating in group activities.
  • Ideology: Idealogical experiences associated with a belief system, for example: environmentalism, philanthropy and religion.

These areas can overlap, for example:

  • Self + Other: Sharing a meal with others combines the personal experience of eating good food with the shared experience of socialising.
  • Self + Ideology: Studying a specific scientific field might inspire you to donate to a charity focused on that research area.
  • Other + Ideology: Engaging in a group environmental activity reinforces the benefit to the environment through collective action.

The more areas of experience involved in an activity, the higher the level of personal engagement. Full personal involvement is achieved when all three areas of experience come into play.

Society and Self

In addition to the Self, Other and Ideology experiences of the individual, societies also have a powerful and pervasive idea of how the Self, the Other and Ideology should be experienced.

  • Self: Societies shape the Self by encouraging certain traits, values, and behaviors.
  • Other: Societies promote certain types of relationships and interactions, so shaping the Other.
  • Ideology: Each society espouses specific belief systems or Ideologies that align with its core values and principles.

Together, these elements combine to create a unique societal system. The type of Self that a society nurtures, the nature of relationships (Other) it promotes, and the Ideology it espouses, all contribute to the shape and function of the societal system.

Societal Perpetuation

In order to guarantee the societal stability, society institutionalises these concepts of Self, Other and Ideology:

  • Legal Frameworks: Societies have laws that explicitly dictate acceptable behavior and ideologies. Laws can reject or penalize influences that contradict these legal norms. For example, societies that value individual freedom and self-expression (Self) might have laws that protect freedom of speech, thereby limiting the influence of ideologies that advocate for censorship.
  • Customs and Traditions: Customs and traditions (“the way we do things”) can promote certain behaviors and beliefs while discouraging others. These often play out in common practices that encapsulate the society’s preferred Self, Other, and Ideology, and discourage alternatives.
  • Cultural and Social Norms: Cultural and social norms are informal understandings that govern individuals’ behavior in society. They act as a primary filter, influencing what types of behaviors, relationships, and ideologies are considered acceptable. When an external influence is at odds with these norms, it often faces resistance or rejection from the society.

In this way, society creates a protective buffer around itself to guard against influences that seek to change the way of life exemplified by the society.

Inverse Perception of External Influences

When one society forcibly exerts influence on another in an attempt to change or subordinate the second society, the recipient society always perceives this influence from a different perspective (relative to the Self, Other and Ideology categorisation) than the source society.

For example, if Society A attempts to forcibly influence Society B from an ideological perspective, then this will be viewed as an attack on the Self and Society of Society B.

We can identify this effect in the discrete areas of Self, Other, and Ideology.

  • Forcible attempts to impose a new type of Self: According to the second society, the Self of the first society is oppressive and grasping. Such a Self cannot be a true, natural form of Self and is rather an artificial form generated by an incorrect Ideology and ways of living (Other). Therefore, forcible attempts to impose a new type of Self are construed as attacks on ideology and societal structure.
  • Forcible attempts to impose a new type of Other: According to the second society, the societal interactions in the first society are unhealthy and unnatural, and so must be the product of incorrect Ideology and personal corruption (Self).
  • Forcible attempts to impose a new type of Ideology: According to the second society, the Ideology of the first society is invalid, therefore this ideology cannot truly appear as ideological to the second society and is instead perceived as a projection of a corrupt Self and of dysfunctional societal interactions (Other).

Since the second society always perceives the source of the influence from the first society as coming from a different area than it emanates from in the source society, the element of the second society that responds to that stimulus is inevitably different to the source element. Therefore, the effect it has on the target society is always in a different area (of Self, Other and Ideology) than in the source.

This means to say, due to the inversion in perception that occurs when force is traded between different societies, the area of Self, Other, or Ideology impacted in Society B is always different from the area of influence intended by Society A.

We can see this effect in The Lord of the Rings.

Sauron and the Fellowship of the Ring

In The Lord of the Rings, Sauron the Dark Lord wants to take over the Free World by using his army of orcs and disaffected men. The Fellowship of the Ring aim to destroy the One Ring of Power, which will destroy Sauron. On the way to destroying the One Ring, the members of the fellowship are tried to their utmost, both physically and emotionally, and in the end, they succeed in their mission.

In this way, the pressure exerted by Sauron on the Fellowship due to his mission to conquer all of Middle Earth (Ideology), has a unifying effect on the Fellowship (Other) and results in their personal growth (Self). Faced with the threat of Mordor’s domination, the Fellowship members develop deeper bonds of mutual reliance, fostering a sense of unity in the face of their common enemy.

Here we see that the forceful application of Sauron’s Ideology (to rule the world) has a positive impact on the Fellowship’s Other and Self.

Sauron, the Dark Lord, encountered the Law of Unintended Consequences when by attempting to conquer the world, he forged the Fellowship of the Ring, a group of hardy and stalwart people. Since the Fellowship of the Ring lived in a different, converse society to Sauron, Sauron’s attempt to gain dominion over them backfired and resulted in his final downfall.

Systemic Errors within the same Society

There are other situations in the Lord of the Rings however, where the Rule of Unintended Consequences seems to apply within the same social system.

  • Boromir’s Attempt to Use the Ring: Boromir, a member of the Fellowship, moved by his desire to protect his people in Gondor (Self), attempts to take the One Ring from Frodo to use it against Sauron.
    However, his actions are perceived by the Fellowship (Other) as a breach of the group’s Ideology, which is to destroy the One Ring. His personal desire to help his own people (Self) leads to the temporary dissolution of the Fellowship (Other), due to his failure to adhere to the group’s Ideology, an outcome opposite to his intention.
  • Denethor’s Stewardship: Denethor, the Steward of Gondor, desires to maintain the strength and unity of his realm (Other). Yet his actions, driven by despair and a misguided use of the palantír (seeing stone), lead him into madness (Self) when Sauron’s Ideology percolates into his mind.
    This culminates in his tragic suicide; he fails in his role as Steward and contributes to the near downfall of Gondor, contrary to his original goal.

These events do not seem to fit into the idea that inversion of societal areas occur specifically when a social boundary has been crossed.

Further analysis shows, however, that in the above scenarios, a system boundary was crossed unwittingly. In other words, a systemic error was made.

  • Boromir’s Attempt to Use the Ring (Self to Ideology): Boromir is by definition unable to use the One Ring, since it represents the power and the system of Sauron.
  • Denethor’s Stewardship (Other to Self): Denethor thought he could use the power of the palantír (seeing stone) to strengthen himself, however, Sauron wrested control of Denethor’s mind through his use of the palantír. Thereby, Denethor was drawn into Sauron’s social system and became “mad” relative to his own.

This illustrates that not only does the Law of Unintended Consequences apply when social-system boundaries are crossed explicitly, but even where constructs of one society occur within another society, then attempting to use those constructs invokes interaction with the other society which results in perverse and unintended consequences.

Summary

We can deduce from the above that the manifestation of the Law of Unintended Consequences signifies a crossing of societal boundaries; this crossing of boundaries may either be deliberate, as in the case of Sauron’s pursuit of dominion, or it may be inadvertent, as in the case of Boromir trying to gain control of the One Ring.

This deduction can be stated as follows.

If the result of a social action is in line with the nature of the action, then both the action and the effect occurred within the same societal context. However, if the result is contrary to the nature of the action, then a societal boundary was crossed between the action and the effect.

Practically speaking this means that if we do encounter the Law of Unintended Consequences, and the outcome of our actions is the opposite of intended, this is because either we have unwittingly crossed a societal boundary, or because we are trying to apply one society’s constructs within another.

We can respond to our surprise in these situations by reassessing the local societal structures and adjusting our responses accordingly.

Showing how an AI Reached a Decision

The inner workings of complex AIs cannot necessarily be understood in logical terms, since they are orchestrated by intricate algorithms and mathematical models that work together to process, analyze, and generate information. Therefore, deciding if an AI conclusion is right or wrong can be difficult, since we can’t understand how the AI reached its conclusion in the first place.

To address this challenge, it is useful to break down problems into sub-problems that can be fed into the AI, and then combine the AI output for each sub-problem, to reach a final conclusion. Using this technique can serve in lieu of exposing the “inner workings of the AI’s mind”, and allows us to agree with, disagree with or discuss the AI’s conclusion.

Perspectives

Most problems can be considered from different perspectives.

  • Going on a fantastic holiday could be fun, but would probably also be expensive.
  • Doing a degree could be hard work, but may be useful in the long term.
  • Getting an AI to do your homework may be easy, but it probably won’t teach you very much.

Complex problems can be considered from numerous perspectives, and the optimal solution can only be found by creating a balance of the optimal solutions dictated by each perspective.

Therefore, to find the answer to a complex problem we need to:

  1. Identify each perspective from which the problem can be considered.
  2. Find the optimal solution from each perspective.
  3. Combine the individual optimal solutions to reach a balanced, optimal conclusion.

To identify all the perspectives from which a problem can be considered, we must identify all the primary constructs (elemental logical building blocks) represented in the initial problem statement.

Identifying Primary Logical Constructs using ChatGPT

We can ask ChatGPT to identify the primary logical constructs in a sample question for the New York Bar Exam, as follows:


Identify the primary constructs in the following question:

"One year ago, Joan executed a will in which she left her entire estate to her only daughter. At that time, Joan’s daughter, Joan’s granddaughter (the only child of Joan’s daughter), Joan’s only son, and Joan’s three grandsons (children of her son) were living. Joan’s son and her three grandsons had extensive criminal records for theft and burglary.

When she went to her lawyer to draft her will, she told her lawyer that she wanted to leave all her property to her daughter and nothing to her male line. She explained, “Leaving the males in my family anything valuable would be a complete waste on burglars and thieves.

For the last five years, Joan had regularly had lunch with several friends. All of them were much wealthier than Joan. At these lunches, she often told her friends that she was a “multimillionaire” and owned both a “luxurious” home and a “very expensive” car. They had no reason to doubt Joan’s claims because she had never invited them to her home and she took cabs to their lunches. In fact, Joan was never a millionaire, and she never owned either a luxurious home or an expensive automobile. She lived in a modest apartment, and her primary source of income was her Social Security benefits. She monitored her bank account regularly and reconciled her bank statement every month. 

One month ago, Joan died, survived by her daughter, her granddaughter, her son, and her three grandsons. At her death, Joan owned no significant assets other than her bank account containing $100,000. 

Under the insane-delusion rule, is Joan’s will invalid? Explain. 
Do these facts establish that Joan’s will is invalid because she lacked the general mental capacity to execute a will? Explain. 
Which, if any, of Joan’s surviving relatives has standing to contest Joan’s will? Explain.

ChatGPT responds as follows:


The primary constructs in the question are:

  1. Joan’s Family: This includes her only daughter, granddaughter (the daughter’s child), only son, and three grandsons (the son’s children). Their relationships to Joan and their personal histories are important to the context.
  2. Joan’s Mental Health and Medication: Joan’s health and the medication she’s taking are significant. The effects of the medication, leading to hallucinations and a specific delusion about the male members of her family, are crucial to her decision to exclude them from her will.
  3. Joan’s Social Interactions and Wealth Perception: Joan’s interactions with her wealthy friends, and her representations about her own wealth, suggest a disconnect between her portrayed and actual financial status.
  4. Joan’s Will: Joan’s will, in which she left everything to her daughter and nothing to her male descendants, is the central legal document under scrutiny.
  5. Joan’s Death and Estate: Joan’s death and the value of her estate are relevant to the questions about the validity of her will and who can contest it.
  6. Legal Concepts: The “insane-delusion rule”, the “general mental capacity to execute a will”, and the “standing to contest a will” are the key legal concepts that need to be applied to the facts of the situation. These concepts are essential for understanding and answering the questions.

Now let’s try to get ChatGPT to solve the problem, from the perspective of each primary concept.

A legal problem is stated as follows: "One year ago, Joan executed a will in which she left her entire estate to her only daughter... (rest of the text as provided above)"

Give a full consideration of the problem from the exclusive perspective of each of the following primary constructs.

Joan's Family, Joan's Mental Health and Medication, Joan's Social Interactions and Wealth Perception, Joan's Will, Joan's Death and Estate, Legal Concepts
ChatGPT needed a bit more prodding, after an initial false start.
For each primary construct, construe what the law should be from the perspective of that primary construct, considering all other considerations as secondary.
ChatGPT’s initial response:

  1. Joan’s Family: From the perspective of Joan’s family, the law should ensure a fair distribution of Joan’s estate. They may argue for an equitable distribution, where all immediate family members get a share of the estate, regardless of Joan’s personal feelings or past interactions with them. The family, especially the son and grandsons, could argue against the validity of the will based on Joan’s mental health issues.
  2. Joan’s Mental Health and Medication: If we consider Joan’s mental health and medication as the primary construct, the law should prioritize the testamentary capacity at the time of the will’s creation. Joan was experiencing hallucinations, which might affect her judgment and could lead to the conclusion that the will was written under an “insane delusion.” From this perspective, the law should focus on whether Joan had the mental capacity to understand her actions when she drafted the will.
  3. Joan’s Social Interactions and Wealth Perception: Considering Joan’s social interactions and perceived wealth as the primary construct, the law might be less concerned with the actual distribution of her assets, focusing instead on the credibility of her testamentary intentions. If Joan’s friends contest the will based on their understanding of Joan’s wealth, the law should consider the truth of Joan’s actual financial situation, not her perceived wealth.
  4. Joan’s Will: From the perspective of the will, the primary legal concern should be ensuring that it accurately represents Joan’s wishes and that she was of sound mind when it was drafted. The law should protect the rights of the testator to dispose of their property as they wish, even if it appears unfair to some family members.
  5. Joan’s Death and Estate: Considering Joan’s death and the nature of her estate, the law should primarily ensure the proper execution of her will and the fair distribution of her assets. If the estate is insufficient to meet the claims of all heirs, the law may need to establish a hierarchy of claimants.
  6. Legal Concepts: From a purely legal perspective, the law should ensure that Joan’s will is valid and enforceable. The law should establish that Joan had the necessary mental capacity when the will was executed, that the will was not created under duress or undue influence, and that it clearly represents Joan’s wishes. If these conditions are not met, the law may deem the will invalid, potentially leading to an intestate distribution of Joan’s estate.

I asked ChatGPT to flesh this out:

Now extrapolate each of those paragraphs into a full legal decision reached from the perspective of that primary point.
ChatGPT responded:

  1. Joan’s Family: From the family’s perspective, the court ruling would ideally consider the principle of fairness and equity in property distribution. Joan’s disconnection with her family and her sentiments towards her son and grandsons should not justify an absolute exclusion from the estate. Despite Joan’s will, the court, in this perspective, could decide that Joan’s son and grandsons have a rightful claim to a portion of the estate, given their direct familial relation, despite their criminal past. The ruling might aim to promote family harmony and prevent disinheritance based solely on personal feelings, providing a portion of the inheritance to all family members.
  2. Joan’s Mental Health and Medication: From this standpoint, a court would assess Joan’s mental health at the time she wrote her will. Medical records indicating that her medication caused hallucinations could lead the court to deem that Joan lacked testamentary capacity, rendering her will invalid. The court might rule that her belief in her male lineage being “cursed” was a product of her medically-induced hallucinations, impacting her capacity to make an informed, rational decision. Thus, the court could distribute the estate according to laws of intestacy, splitting the assets between her surviving children, the daughter and the son.
  3. Joan’s Social Interactions and Wealth Perception: From the viewpoint of Joan’s social interactions and wealth perception, a legal decision might focus more on Joan’s personal autonomy and right to privacy. Joan’s misrepresentation of her wealth to her friends does not legally implicate her testamentary decisions. A court, viewing from this angle, could uphold the validity of Joan’s will since her actual financial situation and her private decision not to disclose it to her friends is within her rights, not impacting her ability to distribute her assets.
  4. Joan’s Will: From the standpoint of Joan’s will, the court would focus on the validity of the document and Joan’s testamentary freedom. The law supports an individual’s right to distribute their assets as they see fit, as long as they possess the mental capacity to do so. The court, in this perspective, might uphold the will, concluding that Joan’s negative sentiments toward her son and grandsons, although influenced by hallucinations, do not undermine her right to distribute her assets as she wished.
  5. Joan’s Death and Estate: Looking at Joan’s death and her estate, the court’s decision might strive for the effective administration and distribution of Joan’s limited assets. Given Joan’s clear intention to leave her entire estate to her daughter in her will, and the relatively modest sum involved, the court might determine that the most effective and straightforward course of action is to uphold the will, ensuring a smooth transfer of Joan’s estate to her daughter.
  6. Legal Concepts: From a purely legal viewpoint, the court would seek to establish whether the will was executed under an insane delusion or if Joan lacked testamentary capacity. Should the court decide that Joan’s belief about her male lineage was an insane delusion, the will might be declared invalid. However, if the court determines Joan was of sound mind when she made the will, despite her hallucinations, it could uphold the will, citing Joan’s right to disinherit certain family members if she chooses to. The verdict would largely depend on the court’s interpretation of “insane delusion” and the extent to which it influenced Joan’s testamentary decisions.

Summary Legal Decision

ChatGPT’s responses above can be summarised as follows.

Primary Construct Summary Discussion Outcome
Joan’s Family The ruling might aim to provide a portion of the inheritance to all family members. Will is invalid.
Joan’s Mental Health and Medication The court might rule that her belief in her male lineage being cursed was a product of her medically-induced hallucinations. Will is invalid.
Joan’s Social Interactions and Wealth Perception Joan’s misrepresentation of her wealth to her friends does not legally implicate her testamentary decisions. Will is valid.
Joan’s Will The law supports an individual’s right to distribute their assets as they see fit, as long as they possess the mental capacity to do so. Will is valid.
Joan’s Death and Estate Given Joan’s clear intention to leave her entire estate to her daughter in her will, and the relatively modest sum involved, the court might determine that the most effective and straightforward course of action is to uphold the will. Will is valid.
Legal Concepts If the court determines Joan was of sound mind when she made the will, despite her hallucinations, it could uphold the will. Will is likely valid.

The will is valid from the majority of perspectives from which the legal question can be considered, therefore regardless of its exact deliberations, a court is more likely to rule in favour of upholding the will than it is to rule in favour of annulling it.

Conclusion

To consider if we agree or disagree with an AI conclusion, we need to know how the AI reached the conclusion in the first place.

If the AI is just asked the entire problem, the way it worked out the solution to the problem is not likely to be very transparent. To reveal the AI’s “thinking”, it can be useful to ask the AI to discretely solve the problem from all possible perspectives (represented by the primary logical constructs in the problem statement), and then to recombine all the AI’s answers to reach a final conclusion.

This technique can provide an understanding of why the AI reached a particular decision, and allows us to drill down into specific areas of the problem, if needed.

Note: See these previous posts (Qualitative Systems Analysis using ChatGPT, Personality Specialisation in Problem Solving using ChatGPT) for an alternative problem decomposition technique you can use with an AI chatbot such as ChatGPT.
