Annual working time: the official paid working time as part of the natural flow of time; a similar part is used for unpaid homework including reproduction; both yield with Sundays and 8 hours of sleep per day the inevitable annual part of spare time required for enjoying affluence far above biologic needs
Systems engineering: optimizes annual working time for the GDP in line with technical progress.
Physical capital: real per capita value of technical infrastructure; different for production and housing
Synergetics: Understanding complex systems by deriving constructive relations between their subsystems; this chapter unites four academic disciplines with a unique family of six analytic solutions.
