1. A welfare system that is configured to provide welfare support to a plurality of individuals in an assistive environment, wherein the welfare system includes a control apparatus that is configured to receive a plurality of measurands of a given individual within the assistive environment,
wherein the control apparatus is configured to process one or more data inputs in a computing arrangement to provide one or more outputs comprising at least one of control outputs, analysis outputs, or recommendation outputs,
wherein the control apparatus is configured to execute real-time computing for a multidimensional system model spanned by state variables on one or more of finite domains or intervals,
wherein the one or more data inputs include one or more physical measurands of a system, and the one or more outputs provide a technical modification of the system,
wherein:
the control apparatus comprises a system model in which all valid combinations and associated properties or object functions are stored as interconnected relations distributed on one or more computers; and
the control apparatus is configured to deduce one or more of:
(i) any sub-space, corresponding to an input statement of states or combinations spanned by one or more state variable or associated properties or object functions, by deriving consequences of the input statement by applying constraints defined by the input statement to the system model; or
(ii) any sub-space, corresponding to a query, of states or combinations spanned by one or more state variables or associated properties or object functions, by deriving consequences of the query by applying constraints defined by the query to the system model,
wherein the control apparatus includes a decision support knowledge model including a plurality of treatment strategies and at least one of: drug characteristics, food supplement characteristics, husbandry strategies depending on individual health complications, disease characteristics of each individual, individual genotype data, and SNP data, wherein the control apparatus provides output signals for developing a personalized identification of one or more active drug combinations for the treatment or prevention of a given individual's specific disease, and wherein the control apparatus executes a software product that in execution performs a high-order combinatorial search within the decision support knowledge model based upon the plurality of measurands and generates the output signals, characterized in that:
(a) the welfare system is configured to use the given individual's SNP genotypes and/or one or more other features which synergistically affect disease status as a part of the measurands; and
(b) the software product is configured to perform a multi-dimensional solution search in the decision support knowledge model to identify high-order combinations of the given individual's SNP genotypes, using a computational engine, implemented as a PACE engine, with combinatorial methodology for combinatorial feature analysis executed in the data processing arrangement, for each individual within the assistive environment; and
(c) the software product is used to compute a welfare trajectory for an individualized welfare of each individual, wherein the welfare trajectory comprises a course of treatment to be prescribed to the given individual.
