Tackling the "Gremlins Paradox" : Autonomous Hot Swap Healing Protocol for Chronic Performance Problem Aversion in On-board Mission Critical Systems for Lethal Autonomous Weapons

After careful reading of Kavulya [2013], [2] it was the informed view of this researcher, that the methods described in the Doctoral Dissertation could very easily resolve Chronic Performance Problems(CPPs) at Command Centers related to Lethal Autonomous Weapon Systems. It is however not possible to use the same methods to resolve Chronic Performance Problems occurring in On-board Mission Critical Systems on Lethal Autonomous Weapons, that are unmanned and deployed/fielded on a non-interactive basis. Nyagudi [2014], [1] attempts to offer some insights, concepts, methods and approaches, that would facilitate the robust performance of lethal autonomous weapon systems. With the benefit of insights from Kavulya [2014], [2] and a background in the physical sciences and knowledge in tactical operations realities, the researcher of this paper proposes an upgraded approach to Nyagudi [2014], [1] for delivering robust performance by way of a Autonomous Hot Swap Healing Protocol for Chronic Performance Problem Aversion in On-board Mission Critical Systems on Lethal Autonomous Weapons. A major assumption for the actualization of this concept would be that microcircuitry and nano-circuitry offer almost unlimited scope for hosting back-up systems to mission critical systems – without substantial increase of physical load that would generate resource challenges. But in the realm of physical sciences a paradox arises – the more miniaturization is achieved, the greater the likelihood for chronic performance problems in micro-circuitry and nano-circuitry due to externally induced and/or intrinsic parasitic phenomena both at quantum and electronic levels. Parasitic quantum phenomena and electromagnetic interference could be encountered in purportedly electronic circuits, due to miniaturization. A balance must be found that renders this “Gremlins Paradox” negligible. Nyagudi Musandu Nyagudi Page 1 of 14
