More sophisticated Telemedicine applications
used by the military and some large medical centers
include: using satellite technology to broadcast
a consultation between providers at facilities in
two countries; videoconferencing equipment; and
distance-robotic technology. Bandwidth in the
telemedicine system determines its constraints.
More bandwidth generates higher costs but more
capacity for real-time images, video, and higher
quality resolution. The qualities of transmission
issues of importance to medicine are sound fidel-
ity, image resolution (spatial or contract), range
of motion displayed, and transmission speed.
The future semantic web could be telemedicine's
answer to the need for high-speed transmission
of high quality video.
Social Psychological Harmonic Oscillator
(SPHO). Theoretically: the oscillations from an
SPHO generate fluctuations that produce informa-
tion characteristic of an organization's stability
response that cooperation can consume (Lawless
et al., 2008). The physics of this information forms
the central part of our model of the conservation
of information (COI).

Reported perceived area = (actual area) x ,
where x = 0.8 ± 0.3 (Meihoefer, 1969, 1973)

There is the real possibility of three or multi-
socio-psycho-geospatial operators. That is,
bistable social perspectives should be able
to be generalized to form multistable social
perspectives. The existence of multiple dif-
ferent cultures, and multiple religions indi-
cates a need for such a generalized model.

Given [ A,B ] = i C , and δA = A - <A> , then
[ δA, δB ] = i C ; further, < δA 2 >< δB 2 > > ¼
< C 2 >, giving the Heisenberg uncertainty
principle ∆A∆B > 1/2< C > (for details, see
Gershenfeld, 2000, p. 256). The uncer-
tainty equation models the expected vari-
ance around the expectation value of the
operators while the right hand side gives
the expectation value of the commutator.
In signal detection theory, the uncertainty
principle becomes the Fourier pair σ A σ B >
½ (see Cohen, 1995; Rieffel, 2007).
