Technical Production
Note: These entries are part of Arbitriologia.
In every analysis of production systems, industries, or firms, a Technology Section will be included and cross-referenced with relevant entries from Arbitriologia.
Formulation
Technical Object (Constitutive Technique) - Constitutive Technique + Operating Technique → Product(s)
Note: There can be other types of techniques for specialized technologies. In computing, Representational Techniques.
| Type of Technique | Description | Case |
|---|---|---|
| Operative Technique | Methods or procedures applied to transform inputs into outputs. Focuses on the action or operation itself. | Manufacturing processes, algorithms execution, assembly steps |
| Constitutive Technique | Principles, methods, or designs that define how a technical object is structured or functions. Focuses on the structure or constitution of the object. | Gear mechanisms, database schema, electronic circuit design |
| Constitutive Technical Object | Physical or digital artifact that embodies a constitutive technique. | Engine, software module, conveyor system |
| Production Technical Object (Capital Good) | Tools, equipment, or infrastructure used to produce other technical objects or products. | CNC machine, development environment, robotic arm |
Technical Category
Let’s introduce a concept that helps structure and group a set of related technical objects (operational, constitutive, continuous technical objects, production technical objects).
| Category | Core Transformation Principle | Representative Technical Core (Techniques + Embedded Objects + Capital Goods) | Representative Products |
