Humanist Technocracy and Super-Efficiency

With Efficiency defined as the ratio of output to input, maximum Efficiency is often conceived as 1:1, i. e. nothing is wasted.  Accordingly, what can be called Super-Efficiency is constituted by a ratio greater than 1.  Now, many regard Super-Efficiency as impossible; but that thesis presupposes a closed system, e. g. one governed by a principle of Conservation of Energy.  In contrast, Evolutionism accommodates the possibility of systematic openness, and, hence, of Super-Efficiency.  Thus, because Humanist Technocracy promotes the interests of the Human species, and Evolution may be the fundamental principle of any Species, in Human Technocracy, Super-Efficiency is a higher value than maximum Efficiency.
