Symptoms represent the dynamic state of the system. n Syndrome - A Syndrome is an identifiable collection of zero or more related Symptoms (as identified by a signature). n Protocol - A Protocol is the treatment-regimen, providing the template necessary to create a Prescription. n Prescription - A Prescription is an instance corresponding to a Protocol. It is used to provide remediation, diagnostics, preventative measures, or optimization to be performed.
