Abstract

This article attempts to describe specific mental techniques that are related\nto resolving very complex tasks in software engineering. This subject may be\nfamiliar to some software specialists to different extents; however, there is\ncurrently no common consensus and popular terminology for this subject area. In\nthis article, the area is charted from a practical usability perspective.\n This article also proposes to treat software engineering itself as research\non human thinking because software is meant to simulate thinking.\n
