I identify four major domains of software engineering: architecture, engineering, constructions, and management. Each is distinct and well-defined.

I also have quantified the value of the general-purpose computer using Big-Omega notation, as well as created the means to combine the value of the Internet (also expressed in Big-Omega) with the general purpose computer. That value, I can argue, is O(n^n).
