Requirements / Characteristics of an ideal system

The questions related to universal problems have to be answered in some way – and they can be left undecided. To make an attempt to find answers to these questions, what we need is a rational – logical approach. A meaningful systematic framework.


This should be
  1. Based on reality – Intuitively we could understand that systems based on unreality can not address the issues that we discussed above.
  2. Sustainable – An ideal system should continue/survive on its own. We can not relay on an unsustainable system.
  3. Efficiently Implementable – The system that we conceive should be implementable with reasonable efficiency. Inefficient, corrupt systems can not deliver the desired results.
  4. Enforceable – Among system which are not binding, inefficiency will creep in.
  5. Scientific – Any proposal today is being scrutinized through the scientific lens. Even though we are aware that science does not answer all questions, credibility of the scientific approach is so much so that we inevitably try to evaluate any system scientifically to the possible extent.
  6. Free and Fair.

Dharma has a very wide meaning and it's characteristics encompass all the above requirements.
