Summary form only. The author introduces the concept of a dynamic parameter, a concept based on the fact that a component (for this study, an electric motor) possesses many attributes of a dynamic role.

These structures would be expert-defined and become powerful communication highways which include traditional or classical engineering relationships as well as specific new relationships defined in the present work. >
