XM Systems Engineering Breakdown Diagram

A Systems Engineering Breakdown Diagrams(SEBD) or Systems Ecology Breakdown Diagram outlines all the components of a given GVCS technology (or other project, such as FeF per se) and how they relate to one another. For each component, the Breakdown Diagram should also include possible implementation paths - focusing on those paths that build on existing open source projects, on available documentation, and on other available prior art. The work of OSE is founded on determining a specific implementation path from a set of general funtional units defined by the SEBD - determined by best fit to OSE Specifications. Each component of the SEBD may be based on a wide range of industry standards. Successive prototypes may choose different implementation paths - depending on prototype testing results.

To build a SEBD:

1. Break down the machine or system into components. Annotate the relationships between the different components
2. Document this on a dedicated wiki page for a specific project.
3. Value addition: get an information architect to improve the diagram
4. Annotate the SEBD with essential notes on the physics of how it works,
