A simple and irrefutable fact is, existing definitions for software
components are erroneous and insidiously flawed. This huge error can be exposed
by discovering the truth, such as essential
characteristics uniquely and universally shared by every known physical
functional component and essential aspects of CBD (Component-Based Design) of
complex physical products. There exists a truth and the truth can be
discovered. It is an irrefutable scientific fact that, there exists an
accurately description (e.g. A set of essential characteristics) for any kind
physical being (including physical functional components) and the truth (i.e.
the accurate description) can be discovered. The scientific or research
community never made any effort to discover the Truth.
The truth is, every known physical functional component shares two
essential characteristics and any physical part can be a component if and only
if the part has these two essential characteristics. It is possible to discover
the essential properties uniquely universally shared by the physical functional
component. One of the main objectives of our website is to help experts
discover (i) the essential characteristics uniquely universally shared by the
physical functional component, and (ii) essential aspects of CBD
(Component-Based Design) of the physical products.
Another important fact is, no other kind of physical parts except
components can achieve such real CBD (having the essential aspects). It is
possible to invent or create equivalent software components (by having the
essential properties). Therefore logically no other kind of software part
(without having the essential properties) can be a component, and no other kind
part can achieve real CBD for software.
Until 500 years ago mankind believed that the Earth is static at the
center. Now we know that it was wrong, because we later accepted the fact that
the Sun is at the center of our planetary system. However, 500 years ago, it
was not easy to prove that the axiomatic assumption (i.e. Earth is static at
the center) is erroneous, since geocentric paradigm had been evolving for over
1000 years and countless epicycles and retrograde motions were well documented
to justify the geocentric model. Any one living on the Earth all his life had
no evidence that the Earth is moving and had no problem observing retrograde
motion. Besides there were no simple answers to questions such as, if the Earth
is moving, why the Moon is not left behind?
It took more than 100 years and great sacrifices to expose the error
in the seed axioms of then deeply entrenched geocentric paradigm and
conventional wisdom. Telling the Truth (i.e. the Sun is at the center) offended
then deeply entrenched conventional wisdom and common sense. The Truth was
exposed at great sacrifices, for example, Galileo was impression for life and
Giordano Bruno was killed for advocating the Truth.
Even in the 21st century,
many respected scientists and researchers feel offended, if I say that the
existing definitions for so called software components are fundamentally
flawed. Many software experts feel that, I am insulting the common sense and
refuse to learn the facts that can expose the Truth. The researchers and
scientists have been using every possible excuse to evade their sacred duty of
discover truth. When confronted in an open forum, they have been using
silly and baseless excuses to ignore the inconvenient facts and reasoning.
Most experts demand that proof must be in few sentences. It was not
easy 500 years ago to prove that the Sun is at the center. It was not easy to
expose errors in seed axioms of any deeply entrenched paradigm. I respectfully
request researchers to discover the truth about physical functional components
and CBD of complex one of a kind physical product. It is their sacred duty to
discover the Truth to over come myths and insidious epicycles that have been
accumulating in any deeply entrenched paradoxical paradigm (which has been
evolving for decades or centuries) in the name of scientific progress, which
results in alerted reality.
The existing software engineering paradigm have been evolving by
relying on unsubstantiated myths such as any kind of software parts (either
having certain useful properties or conform to so called component model) is a
kind of software components. It has no basis in reality. Using such fake
components is not CBSE. Our website has irrefutable proof for the scientific
fact: No physical part can be a component without being (i) replaceable and
(ii) self-contained. It is absolutely essential to rely on the knowledge of
error free scientific facts, reality and sound logical reasoning to transform
computer science into real science and software engineering into a real
engineering.
Many experts insist that, it (not inventing real software components) is
not a big error – We respectfully disagree. If physical components and CBD for
physical products offers only very little benefits in designing and building complex
physical products, then not having real-software components is a minor error. But
it is a huge error, because it is practically impossible to design and build
complex physical products. The flawed definitions for so called software
components preventing the research necessary to discover the nature of physical
functional component for inventing equivalent software components that are
capable of achieving real CBSD.
It is not a small error to rely on flawed
facts (and resulting paradoxical reality) for advancing any scientific field. Mankind
still would be in dark ages, if the so called small error (the Earth is at the
center) were not yet exposed. More than 500 years ago, even the basic science
end up in a paradox (i.e. as a fake science), and exposing the error eventually
resulted in transforming it into a real science. Only possible path available for
scientific progress is discovering and relying on truths (i.e. fact and
reality). Scientific progress is impossible, if researchers and
scientists try to advance any science field by relying on flawed facts (and applying brute force to advance the field for prolonged period only leads to altered reality).
Any scientific field
ends up in altered reality (e.g. paradox) and as a fake science, if basic facts the researchers have been relying
to advance the field has hidden flaws and researchers apply brute force to
advance the field without realizing the flaws. Software engineering ended up in an altered reality due to the brute force being applied since mid 1960s to advance software engineering, without ever validating the definitions for so called software components exist today. Whenever I try to expose flaws
in the existing software engineering paradigm, today software researchers justifying
the paradox (i.e. altered reality) by using silly excuses such as computer science is different. No meaningful progress is possible until the truth (i.e. reality and facts about physical functional components & CBD of physical products) is
discovered, even if it is hard to discover the Truth.
