**15. Expanding the scope of the SI method**

The SI method is universal enough for tasks that can be reduced to informational. Information flows can describe the control and protection algorithms of various control objects not only in the energy sector but also in other areas of control. The problems of automatic control in the classical setting are being solved. For example, coordinate control, search, extreme, adaptive, optimal, automatic, automated, expert, dispatch control systems, etc. The problems of pattern recognition in linguistics are solved: decision-making tasks based on morphological features, for example, biological, mechanical, etc., and recognition of information carried by sound vibrations, for example, cochlear and sound pattern recognisers in medicine.

The SI method allows to improve control systems with a lack of initial information in situations that are difficult in meaning when operating the control object. When the input information is changed, impulse rarely appears, consisting of separate diverse components.

Consistent application of SI method templates allows you to not ignore the necessary stages of obtaining results when solving management problems. The statement of management is carried out in the dynamics of the development of processes with the issuance of management commands, for example, up-down, buy-sell, etc. So, first, when solving problems, a workplace is built that allows you to realise the final desired result in CAD, for example, a device issuing commands and receiving input signals. The final result is immediately controlled. In case of its inconsistency, part of the control algorithm changes. Further, as the problem is solved, control algorithms are improved. The development of algorithms proceeds along the path of improvement: 'from the simple to the necessary'.
