Unreferenced date October 2008 MeansEnds Analysis MEA is a technique used in Artificial Intelligence for controlling search in problem solving computer programs. It is also a technique used at least since the 1950s as a creativity tool, most frequently mentioned in engineering books on design methods. MeansEnds Analysis is also a way to clarify one s thoughts when embarking on a mathematical proof . Problem solving as search An important aspect of intelligent behavior as studied in AI is goal based problem solving, a framework in which the solution of a problem can be described by finding a sequence of actions that lead to a desirable goal. A goal seeking system is supposed to be connected to its outside environment by sensory channels through which it receives information about the environment and motor channels through which it acts on the environment. The term afferent is used to describe inward sensory flows, and efferent is used to describe outward motor commands. In addition, the system has some means of storing in a memory information about the state of the environment afferent information and information about actions efferent information . Ability to attain goals depends on building up associations, simple or complex, between particular changes in states and particular actions that will bring these changes about. Search is the process of discovery and assembly of sequences of actions that will lead from a given state to a desired state. While this strategy may be appropriate for machine learning and problem solving, it is not always suggested for humans e.g. cognitive load theory and its implications . How MEA works The MEA technique is a strategy to control search ... for MEA to be effective, the goal seeking system must have a means of associating to any kind of detectable difference those actions that are relevant to reducing that difference.

It has been incurred that all actions are means to other ends this is relevant when considering the meaning of life . Immanuel Kant s theory of morality , the categorical imperative , states that it is immoral to use another person merely as a means to an end, and that people must, under all circumstances, be treated as ends in themselves. This is in contrast to some interpretations of the utilitarianism utilitarian view, which allow for use of individuals as means to benefit the many. Idiom A means to an end is also an idiom .

Confusing date December 2006 Kantianism The Kingdom of Ends is a thought experiment in the moral philosophy of Immanuel Kant . It is regularly discussed in relation to Kant s moral objectivism moral objectivist theory and its application to ethics and philosophy in general. Kant introduced the concept in his work, the Groundwork of the Metaphysic of Morals . The nature of the concept The kingdom of ends is a hypothetical state of existence that is derived from Kant s categorical imperative . A kingdom of ends is composed entirely of rational beings, which Kant defines as beings who are capable of moral deliberation though his definition expands in other areas . In order to be a part of the Kingdom of Ends, these rational beings must choose to act by maxims that have Universality philosophy universality . It is from this point of view that they must judge themselves and their actions. By the phrase kingdom, he means the union of different rational beings in a system by common laws. These common laws, as established by the categorical imperative , are the laws used to evaluate the worth of an individual s actions. With this kingdom of individuals all living by the categorical imperative, particularly Kant s second formulation of it, our kingdom and all within it will treat all other members of this kingdom as ends in themselves, rather than as means to arriving at goals that one selfishly wants to accomplish for one s own purposes. This systematic whole is the kingdom of ends. People can only belong to the kingdom of ends when they give universal laws unto it, and are subject to those same laws and all laws within. Such rational beings must regard themselves simultaneously as sovereign when making laws, and as subject when obeying them. Morality, therefore, is acting out of reverence for all universal laws which make the kingdom of ends possible. In a true kingdom of ends ... of God as a religious symbol for the moral reality of the kingdom of ends. As such, it is the ultimate ... more details

Unreferenced date December 2009 A means of protection is some contract or guarantee of security for body or property . It is usually achieved, in a modern State polity state society, by agreeing to some social contract including a monopoly on violence , e.g. placing police and military powers under the control of an authority obeying some predictable theory of civics that guarantees such protection. This term is particularly relevant to anarchism and minarchy , where no monopoly on violence may exist, or where it may not have powers to intervene in all situations, e.g. it may protect body but take no position as to property . A means of protection is particularly important when considering a means of production , infrastructural capital , or natural resources as a social asset. Without such means, anyone can confiscate and use the asset.

Unreferenced date December 2009 Burnt ends are flavorful pieces of meat cut from the point half of a smoked brisket . A traditional part of Kansas City style barbecue Kansas City Barbecue , burnt ends are considered a delicacy in barbecue cooking. Either the entire brisket is cooked whole, then the point end removed and cooked further, or the point and flat are separated prior to cooking. Due to the higher fat content of the brisket point, it takes longer to fully cook to tender and render out fat and collagen. This longer cooking gave rise to the name burnt ends . Sometimes when the flat is done, the point is returned to the smoker for further cooking. Some cooks re season the point at this time. Kansas City style burnt ends are usually served cubed with sauce either on top or on the side. A proper burnt end should display a modest amount of bark or char on at least one side. Burnt ends can be served alone sometimes smothered in barbecue sauce or in sandwiches , as well as in a variety of other dishes, including baked beans and gumbo .

Unreferenced date December 2009 A means of persuasion , in some theories of politics and economics , can substitute for a factor of production by providing some influence or information. This may be of direct value to the actor accepting the influence, i.e. a bribe , or instructional capital to assist persuasion in some other enterprise, e.g. a patent or license to same which persuades a competitor to avoid patent infringement or to partner with the holder. Or, it can be leverage applied via some political economy or prior to economic means, such as offering or withdrawing a means of protection or other military or political favors. In this form it is sometimes called political capital , an alternate term that is more narrowly applied. In modern macroeconomics there is more emphasis on the role of political factors such as diplomacy , especially in the behavior of trade bloc s. There is, especially in the anti globalization movement , concern that the means by which nation state s are persuaded to enter into trade pact s subvert democracy forcing nations for instance to abandon an industrial policy or investment policy or agricultural policy to gain entry to key market s. The means of persuasion in this case, it is argued, is poverty that results from high tax, tariff and trade barriers which can only be reduced by agreeing to the terms of the bloc. There are also microeconomic concerns about persuasion. Also the mass media have made advertising more prevalent and thus persuasion is a more common factor in ordinary consumer decisions. Intense persuasion is thought by some to lead to consumerism , over consumption and even pathological consumption , e.g. bulimia brought on by accepting adverse body image .
