Method and system for connecting analytic network process model (ANP) with feedback throughout the ANP model between sub-networks

A computer-implemented method for an analytic network process (ANP) control structure with feedback throughout the ANP control structure, comprising:

• storing, in an ANP control structure storage unit, an ANP control structure with feedback throughout the ANP control structure;
• storing, in the ANP control structure, subnetworks according to ANP theory, one of the subnetworks being attached to a node-to-cluster connection in the ANP control structure instead of being attached to the node itself;
• and
• performing, in a synthesizer of a computer processor, a BOCR calculation on the ANP control structure with feedback throughout the ANP control structure, including a calculation on the node-to-cluster connection, to yield a result which is proper according to ANP theory when values used in the calculation are non-trivial.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium encoded with a computer program for an analytic network process (ANP) control structure with feedback throughout the ANP control structure, wherein execution of said computer program by one or more processors causes said one or more processors to perform the steps of:

• storing, in an ANP control structure storage unit, an ANP control structure with feedback throughout the ANP control structure;
• storing, in the ANP control structure, subnetworks according to ANP theory, one of the subnetworks being attached to a node-to-cluster connection in the ANP control structure instead of being attached to the node itself;
• and
• performing, in a synthesizer, a BOCR calculation on the ANP control structure with feedback throughout the ANP control structure, including a calculation on the node-to-cluster connection, to yield a result which is proper according to ANP theory when values used in the calculation are non-trivial.
