General Abnormal Patterns of Structure and Behavior
Memory Analysis Patterns (MAPs) including memory dump, malware, software trace (TAPs), and other patterns and pattern catalogs from Software Diagnostics Institute35 form the very rich semantic network. Now it is possible (by using a metaphorical bijection, Volume 4, page 241) to create a catalog of General Patterns of Abnormal Structure and Behavior including software, hardware, biological behavior including animal (ethology) and human behavior, sociological and historical behavior including economics, business and finance, ethics and law, and even behavior of chemical and physical systems. Such “GAPs of Structure and Behavior” may include wait chains, spikes, deadlocks, etc. So we are a few steps closer to realization of our old dangerous idea (Volume 3, page 301) of a parameterized science of universal memory dumps by the so called science files or might even a general diagnostics discipline.
