Abstract

As emphasized several times in the previous chapter, CRT is about analyzing risk and designing deliberate challenges. Whether we are deliberately challenging the effectiveness of a strategic plan or the scalability of an optimization or big-data mining algorithm, the concept of a challenge has the same fundamental characteristics. The purpose of this chapter is to develop a disciplinary approach to structure and model the analysis of risk and the concept of a challenge. This structure can assist an automated system to risk assess and challenge a human or a computer autonomously, and to teach the concept of challenge in a disciplinary manner to humans. What is risk? How to analyze risk and how to “think” risk? What is a challenge? What do we mean by deliberate? How do we design and model the concept of a challenge deliberately? How do we systematically design a challenge on which both humans and computers to operate? This chapter will address these questions by establishing a unifying theory that defines and models systems, uncertainty, ability, skill, capacity, competency, performance, capability, and our ultimate aim, risk and challenge.
