There is certainly no doubt that the NATIONAL INSTITUTE of MENTAL HEALTH is being well coordinated with in this creation of a new lexicon, since it is DEVELOPED BY EXPERT CONSENSUS, and will integrate, by design, along with the development of RDoC over the next decade, as announced by NIMH DIRECTOR, TOM INSEL. April 29, 2013 nimh.nih.gov/about/director/2013/transforming-diagnosis.shtml It can be at least figured that the NEW LEXICON will either integrate terms, concepts, existing criteria, definitions, etc. from the DSM, or that it wont, or that it will use its own alternates, while the RDoC reorientation is directed towards transformation away from the DSM into RDoC as the DICTIONARY for consensus in Mental Health. Predictably the worst that could happen would be analogous to the fate of Mars Climate Orbiter. We were on the wrong trajectory and our system of checks and balances did not allow us to recognize that. Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality September 23, 1999, communication with the spacecraft was lost as the spacecraft went into orbital insertion, due to ground-based computer software which produced output in non-SI units of pound-seconds (lbf×s) instead of the metric units of newton-seconds (N×s) specified in the contract between NASA and Lockheed. The spacecraft encountered Mars on a trajectory that brought it too close to the planet, causing it to pass through the upper atmosphere and disintegrate. Imperial/English units of measure ≠ Metric units of measure. By PAUL RECER WASHINGTON (November 10, 1999 6:02 p.m. EST nandotimes) - For nine months, the Mars Climate Orbiter was speeding through space and speaking to NASA in metrics. But the engineers on the ground were replying in non-metric English. The mathematical mismatch that was not caught until after the $125 million spacecraft, a key part of NASAs Mars exploration program, was sent crashing too low and too fast into the Martian atmosphere. The craft has not been heard from since. We were on the wrong trajectory and our system of checks and balances did not allow us to recognize that, Edward Stone, director of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, said Wednesday. The NASA center in California was in charge of the Mars mission. Noel Henners of Lockheed Martin Astronautics, the prime contractor for the Mars craft, said at a news conference that his companys engineers were responsible for ensuring that the metric data used in one computer program were compatible with the English measures used by another program. The simple conversion check was not done, he said. It was overlooked, Henners said.
