Through a truth seeking process, actors in a country are able to investigate past abuses. and seek redress for victims and their families. Such investigations go beyond simply identifying guilty parties or individuals, but may investigate root causes, patterns of suffering, and social impact as well as events in individual cases, such as disappearances.

This can also be called what if analysis or back solving . It can either be attempted through trial and improvement or more logical means. Basic goal seeking functionality is built into most modern spreadsheet packages such as Microsoft Excel . Examples Suppose a family wanted to take out the biggest loan that they could afford to pay for. If they set aside 500 dollars a month, the goal seeking program would try to work out how big a loan the family could afford to take out. Even using simple trial and improvement, a computer could quickly determine that they could not afford 50,000 loan, but could afford a 48,000 loan. It would then become repeat the process until it had reached a figure such as 48,476.34, which would give them a monthly repayment as close to, but not exceeding, 500, as possible. A more efficient method, especially on more complicated calculations, would be for the program to logically work through the argument. By drawing up a simple equation, the program could come to the conclusion that the output equalled one ninety sixth of the input, and could then multiply the output or goal by ninety six to find the necessary input.

The two conceptions of rack rent both apply when excessive, extortionate rent is obtained by threat of eviction resulting in uncompensated dispossession of improvements the tenant himself has made.
