Abstract
A method of exercising effective influence over future occurrences using knowledge synthesis is described. Techniques include influencing methods that yield actions, once a proposed outcome has been assumed. This is different from methods, typically referred to as “predictive” or “prescriptive” that use analytics to model future results based upon existing data and predict most likely outcome. One or more methods of analysis of historical data, in a hierarchical manner, determine events which led to an observed outcome. The outcome-based algorithms use, as input, a future event or state and generate attributes that are necessary precursors. By creating these attributes, the future can be affected. Where necessary, synthetic contributors of such attributes are also created and made to act in ways consistent with generating the assumed outcome. These contributors might be called upon respectively, to post favorable opinions, to report balmy weather, or to describe sales to a certain population demographic.
