Claim One:
1. A computer-implemented system for an analytic network process (ANP) control structure with feedback throughout the ANP control structure, comprising: a memory configured to store an ANP control structure; and a processor cooperatively operable with the memory, the processor configured to: store, in the memory, the ANP control structure with feedback throughout the ANP control structure, store, 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 perform a BOCR calculation including a calculation on the node-to-cluster connection in the ANP control structure with feedback throughout the ANP control structure, to yield a result which is proper according to ANP theory when values are non-trivial.
