优化 - “模式”概念

Optimization - the "pattern" concept

  • 单独对各因素可控不能保证最优Controlling each factor alone cannot guarantee optimal results
  • 注意:变量不是独立的Note: variables are not independent
  • 过程是按“模式”运行的Processes are run in "patterns"
  • 模式是一个“圈”The process is run according to "pattern" and the pattern is a "circle"
