Abstract: One embodiment of a module for a marine vessel includes a base that has a cavity for securing a variety of cargos therein, and a top plate that defines a perimeter and a top surface, the perimeter adapted to define a water-tight seal with a hull of a marine vessel and the top surface defining a smooth plane having a substantial absence of steps and gaps therein.

Abstract: A human social system has a tendency to self organize around one or more of the production, diffusion and application of organizational knowledge. One or more of the production, diffusion and application of such knowledge can be enhanced by synchronizing knowledge policies with the tendency. The synchronization may be accomplished by proposing knowledge embryology, politics, diversity and connectivity policies (step S10). The proposed knowledge politics policy is practiced in the social system and is evaluated and/or refined (step S20). The proposed knowledge embryology, diversity and connectivity policies are practiced in the social system with the evaluated proposed politics policy, and the policies are evaluated and/or refined as needed (step S30).
