The Integration of Engineering with Luxury: XSE's Method
Whether blue-collar, gold-collar or billionaire seeking desired results, XSE can be used to strategically engineer your own luxury.
How rare has it become for anyone to take the time to critically analyze and decide how to advance their SOI? Life is full of complexities and distractions like never before in all of history. Most people claim they just don’t have time. But time is still passing, and it could be said that time “has them,” as no one can escape the fact that someday their time will run out. It is not a good engineering plan to save the analysis of your life for the last minute, when there will not be the opportunity to go back and change even a second of how you lived your life. A skilled engineer looks ahead, considering different possibilities, and identifies targeted goals with a blueprint on how to accomplish them. Time is fleeting, evasive, and a luxury, that when grasped in the moment, can become an investment that can “pay out” thousands of times over, by becoming the catalyst to creating and achieving phenomenal dreams, namely, engineering your own luxury or desired results. It is time to take your time seriously, put your phone down and turn the TV off. You either “got time” or time has “got you” in the end. Do not let distractions steal your time, or shall we say, your life?
XSE can be applied to any system & can be implemented at the macro or micro level
No matter what the system is that you are developing or maintaining, the axioms of XSE, scaled on the X, Y, and Z Axes are advantageous in directing the outcome of your system. The Actual Factors are realities that are present to some extent in the engineering or development of any system, but if XSE is to be applied to the SE process, then the Analytical Factors must be used as well. This includes the 7 Axioms (based on the three axes), which are to be implemented using the three elements of Luxxacation, iteratively.
An Elemental Summary of the Steps of X Systems Engineering
Luxxacation is the top-level synopsis (also known as the torque of XSE) and is the simplest form or superficial overview of the XSE process. The XSE method is outlined below with the different components of XSE positioned within the 3 elements of Luxxacation. Complete implementation of XSE methods begins with the XSE Key which is used to “get unstuck” and start the action of Luxxacation or the “Torque of XSE” and proceed to unlock XSE’s 2FA by strategically applying all 40 of the XSE factors (20 actual and 20 analytical) and pass into the XSE Vantage Point for an all-encompassing and astronomical view and exploration of the 4th dimension.
The 1st Element: Take Time
1. Take Time, the 1st element of the torquing motion of Luxxacation; Starting with the X Axis (measuring system analysis), the Systems Engineer applies the XSE X Axiom which is in regards to critical and creative thinking. This first element is broken down into 3 micro-elements: firstly, evaluate the system’s current position and situation, secondly, identify where the SOI should be in the future (stage of optimization) in order to identify needs, and thirdly, make specific goals. This stage can only be successful with honest evaluation. Entering the XSE Vantage Point can maximize the time spent on critical and creative thinking.
The 2nd Element: Build Strength
2. The Systems Engineer then continues with the torquing motion of the 2nd element of Luxxacation: Build Strength. On the Y Axis (gauging the actual stage of the system life cycle) where the XSE Y Axiom regarding the Application of Optimal Choices (decided upon with the previous step) is followed through with. The XSE Key can be used to empower the SE with this element.
The 3rd Element: Rise Above
3. The Systems Engineer then proceeds on to the Z Axis (rating of sources and resources), where the 3rd element of Luxxacation: Rise Above is used to increase the “torque” even more. Here the XSE Z Axiom of seeking authenticate and ultimate sources is applied as the Systems Engineer strives to constantly improve the current state of the system by proceeding forward with the best sources and resources, gaining more information and knowledge of potential advancement for the System of Interest. The possibilities of this element can be maximized from the XSE Vantage Point as well.
Then Iterate
1. The information, and potential gained in the previous step from the XSE Z Axiom is then analyzed on the X Axis, taking into consideration the systems new and current state, and applying the XSE X Axiom of “using critical and creative thinking…” in order to analyze the sources and potential resources gathered from the Z Axis, to make decisions of what should be applied (on the Y Axis) in order to advance the system and facilitate in meeting its goals.
for Continual Improvement
With the “torque” in motion in a positive direction, the XSE method has been initiated. By increasing momentum and always keeping your SOI in the first octant with its trajectory going in a positive direction, system analysis becomes second nature and following through with applying optimal decisions to your system becomes easier. With your eyes always on the desired goal, Luxxacation becomes not just a cursory systems engineering practice, but a science-based habit designed to find and achieve desired results, engineering your own true enlightened luxury in life.
System Advancement: Climb the XSE Peak
The Diagram below shows the Alpha Axiom: “Integrity is founded on truth” at the top of the XSE Peak, therefore positioning Truth at the Zenith (marked with the diamond at the top of the peak). At the foundation are the irrefutable axioms that appeal logically to common sense. In particular: the X Axiom- “Using critical and creative thinking augments intelligence,” and the Y Axiom- “The application of optimal choices enhances strength,” and the Z Axiom- “Seeking authentic and ultimate sources maximizes freedom.” The charted elements show the intentional hierarchy of then the 1st-3rd Axioms above the X,Y, and Z Axioms. The 1st Axiom- “True and optimal intelligence is founded on integrity,” the 2nd Axiom- “True and optimal strength is founded on integrity,” & the 3rd Axiom- “True and optimal freedom is founded on integrity.” Ascending to the Zenith can only be achieved through seeking truth, as depicted on the peak with the Alpha Axiom “Integrity is founded on truth.” The journey to the zenith of the XSE Peak is approached by first grasping the XSE Key, to start the “Torque” of XSE and for complete XSE functional analysis, both the 7 spheres of integration and the 7 domains of study must be taken into account as inputs and outputs passing through the Gateways of the system.
The 7 Spheres of integration are an Actual Factor (no matter the SOI or SOC) as each sphere influences the SOI to some extent. For XSE analysis, plot the system on the X, Y, and Z axis, and evaluate the influence related to each sphere as inputs and outputs passing through the 3 Gateways.
The 7 domains of study are also an Actual Factor, no matter what the SOI or SOC, as at least some of these domains of study are truly influencing your SOI. For complete XSE functional analysis, each of the 7 domain’s influences must be evaluated as inputs and outputs of the 3 Gateways of the 3 Aspects (Mind, Body, and Spirit) of the system.
From the Fortified Foundation of the XSE Peak to the Zenith: Truth
The Advancing Assets of XSE, namely: 1. The XSE Key (used to unlock XSE’s 2FA and turn on the “torque” of XSE’s Luxxacation), 2. Investigative Skills (used to pass through XSE’s 2FA in order to enter the XSE Vantage Point), & 3. The XSE Vantage Point (used to gain all-encompassing and astronomical view of systems and explore the 4th dimension) are also markers of where a person is in the knowledge and application or practice of Independent Integration Systems Engineering. Grasping the XSE Key correlates to the Position of XSE’s Luxury Systems Engineer. Investigative Skills are the 2nd advancing asset and correlate to the Position of XSE’s Investigative Systems Engineer, signifying a stage of questioning, learning and applying the 40 factors used in XSE, and seeking science-based facts and ultimately, the truth. The Advancing Assets of XSE are retained and built-upon, therefore, as one enters the Vantage Point, they maintain and still leverage the first two Advancing Assets for their benefit, but now are able to operate from the vantage point, which not only provides an all-encompassing and astronomical view of systems, but likewise also positions the individual as an XSE Pilot Systems Engineer, having passed through XSE’s 2FA, and skilled in exploration of the 4th dimension and set on a path of seeking and finding the Zenith of XSE: Truth.
Chart of correlations of XSE factors to MBS
As outlined above, the XSE factors are associated with the MBS (Mind, Body, and Spirit) aspects of the human, making it easier to understand the XSE method when seen color coded, demonstrating the logical affiliations to the factors, dimensions and axioms.
You are the Sustaining Systems Engineer.
You are the System of Interest.
The key to accelerating advancement: take a step back, go beyond the typical constraints, and enter the XSE Vantage Point for an astronomical view that transcends time and is all-encompassing of the 4th dimension. Pierce through the exterior of your system of interest, what is it made of? What is its substance? Is it strong? Or is it weak and fragmented, unable to hold up to even the first test? This will predominantly be determined by the factors related to the other 3 dimensions’ integration into the SOI.
