THE COMPUTER MANDATE
AUTHORITY
WHATEVER AUTHORITY IS GRANTED IT BY THE
SOCIAL ENVIRONMENT WITHIN WHICH IT OPERATES
RESPONSIBILITY
TO PERFORM AS PRE-DIRECTED BY THE PROGRAMMER

A MANDATE WITH TOO LITTLE RESPONSIBILITY
PROVIDES TOO LITTLE LEVERAGE FOR THE RISKS
A MANDATE WITH TOO LITTLE ACCOUNTABILITY IS
AN ELEGANT FORM OF SUICIDE
