Description: This report asserts that a fundamental flaw exist in current systematic combat model--the use      of the so-called present-state decisionmaking paradigm. This paradigm is shown not only to      be unrealistic but also to rely on hidden models. The report also presents and examines a      proposed alternative--the future-state decisionmaking architecture of the Generalized Value      System GVS. This architecture is shown to be more realistic than present-state      decisionmaking, yet practical to implement. The necessary elements of the GVS are discussed      in detail, and an example presented. Areas of the proposed GVS architecture which will      require additional research are also discussed. (SDW)
