In order to understand Artificial Intelligence (AI) analysis, first of all let’s search the Turkish Linguistic Society (TDK) Dictionary and the Cambridge Dictionary online for to understand the meanings of the related terms. Artificial: Made by human, often as a copy of something natural or produced by analogy with examples in nature. Intelligence: All of human's ability to think about things, to think to learn, understand the reason(s), perceive objective facts, judge and draw conclusions; intellect, acumen, ingenuity, foresight Mind: Someone’s memory or their ability to think, the power of thinking, understanding and comprehension the reason; counsel, the recommended way; thought, idea; memory, feel emotions, and be aware of things. I looked up this word because I was wondering why the term Artificial Mind is not used instead of Artificial Intelligence. I think the reason is that the expression 'mind' also means ‘opinion’, ’the result one believes’, ‘the thought believed’. Computer: An electronic device that performs and concludes a task consisting of a large number of arithmetic or logical operations according to a given program, electronic brain. Here, although I do not agree with the definition of "electronic brain", I consider that the Turkish word that best describes the word the "computer" is "computer". In short; ‘Computer’ is an electronic machine that can store and arrange large amounts of information. Artificial Intelligence-AI: According to Oracle; systems or machines that mimic human intelligence to perform tasks and can iteratively improve themselves based on the information they collect. For example: chat bots, smart assistants that extract critical information from large datasets to improve timing, recommendation engines, etc. In summary; AI is about super powered thinking and data analysis capability and process, designed to enhance human capabilities and human contributions to processes; not to replace humans in all matters. Therefore, it is a very valuable commercial element. So it may be related as ‘Artificial Intelligence’ is the study and development of computer systems that do jobs that previously needed human intelligence. Let's take a deep breath and release!.. AI, in other words computers or robots or machines are a business entity not designed to replace humans in all matters but make their job easier. It means that AI will not be able to take control of the world. The control will always be with us the humans. All joking aside, since AI, which is actually an engineering product, depends on huma’s will, it should be emphasized where and how it can be applied effectively. For this reason, AI and AI application examples should be well understood. The aim of this article is to give an idea about how AI can be applied, especially in holistic maritime power. Now, let's add a few more related terms and concepts to expand the subject; data science, databases, data mining, statistics, clustering analysis, artificial neural networks, deep learning, theory of algorithm, genetic algorithm, machine learning, artificial learning, smart machines, fuzzy logic, decision making theory, decision support systems, decision trees, multi-layer sensors, classification systems, classification algorithm-Naive Bayes... You can improve this list. All these terms are associated with AI. The most influential aspect of AI is that the different applications of AI are based on only a few different algorithms. For example, the Naive Bayes algorithm is used in the health sector with a holistic approach; it is discussed in open sources that there is a learning algorithm that can diagnose the patient in a very short time when disease symptoms, test results of the patient, and special information about the patient are used as data. Let's now discuss the relationship between AI and the sustainable maritimization. What is Maritime Power, what does it mean? Is it the state of being a sailor or the ability to sail the seas? Does sea power means the naval power? Why can't the two notions be used together for the same concept? There are many valuable hypotheses and theories on this subject. Can we give the same answers for the same questions to those notions; e.g. “What is the difference between Maritime Power and Sea Power? Different people may give different answers for these questions. Is there or isn’t there a common definition or agreement? The answer to this question will not be unique. In the open literature, it is seen that there is no semantic unity of the definitions and put forward concepts related to maritime theory. It is noteworthy that there is a hidden ambiguity or semantic difference between these concepts. Some of the authors prefer to use the expressions "sea power" in the sense of "maritime power" or "naval power" in the sense of "sea power". These differentiations make it difficult to reach a common understanding and to communicate between those who are interested in the subject. Some theorists have also developed "input-output" (artificial neural network) models to analyze and interpret the meaning of maritime components, maritime power to address maritime theory more broadly. Now the question is; ‘is it sufficient to have the characteristics specified in all these concepts known in the literature in order to become a maritime country?' Should you have them all sufficiently or how you should have them all together? Which should come first? Which is more important? The answer to these questions will not be unique and sufficient, because being a maritime country; it is not only possible to sail on the sea routes and/or to have the ability/opportunities to protect these roads and nearby coasts, but also by constantly developing, improving, arranging, renewing and expanding all the components of maritime. The process of becoming a maritime country/state is not a concept that can be completed and shelved at any time. For sustainable maritimization; instead of many components, a “holistic” model should be applied, which considers maritime power as a ‘stand-alone phenomenon’, including the interactions of each component with each other. Holistic model, in the ‘Blue Homeland’ should cover everything related to the seas/waters, in the most general sense; geographically, oceanographically, geomorphologically, atmospherically; including the sea surface, the layer above the sea surface, and below the sea surface and the sea floor, including the deep sea bottom structure. In this context, one may define the sustainable maritime phenomenon as a resultant of the components ‘maritime economy’, ‘maritime vision’, ‘maritime culture’, ‘naval power’ and ‘maritime education’. The combination of these elements must be deemed as "puzzle game". If any of these components and/or one of their sub-components is missing, the model cannot be built. So the aim for a sustainable maritimization is to create a holistic single model instead of many models. Therefore, a logical model in which the interaction of all components related to a sustainable maritimization can be evaluated simultaneously by an approach that includes all those concepts in the definition of maritimization and does not exclude any maritime-related concept, “The Holistic Maritimization Model”. By this master model, the first results of studies with inferential statistical methods using the data obtained from the open literature for the components of maritimization showed that the main outputs of maritime power are enrichment, widening and deepening of security areas in seas/waters, and innovative-free thinking abilities. From the results, it is obvious that the countries that have created their maritime power with the components mentioned above holistically sustain their maritimization process (Çetin, Irak, Kahyaoğlu, 2020). As a conclusion; maritimization, which is the dominant dynamic of globalization, should be considered as a stand-alone phenomenon with a holistic approach. For this reason, it is necessary to have an integrative public authority such as the "Ministry of Maritime Affairs" for the development of maritime, which must be national ideal of any country for "Sustainable Maritimization". However, for some coastal countries, it is understood that such a public authority could not be institutionally structured due to bureaucratic, political, economic and technical cyclical reasons. INPUTS: from Maritime Power Elements (DATA) * Maritime Economic Vision, * Seapower, * Maritime Vision, * Maritime Culture, * Maritime Education. for to process PUZZLE APPROACH (holistic model) (INFORMATION) with direct access to all the elements' data of puzzle approach by mining the data MARITIME POWER - raise awareness (KNOWLEDGE) to support to make decisions for SUSTAINABLE MARITIMIZATION (WISDOM) for sustainable OUTPUTS * Wealth of Nations * Security of the Country * Innovational and Libertarian Thinking In this respect, steps must be taken by the countries, with the support of scientists, academic and related institutions and organizations dealing with AI, all maritime-related institutions and organizations (including maritime components covering all capabilities). According to the data collected as input, information for a ‘Decision Support Master Algorithm for Sustainable Maritimization' as knowledge should then be developed based on artificial intelligence engineering which iteratively creates continuous improvement wisdom outputs by evaluating the evolving nature of the seas.

DEFINITIONS Firm: Here, firm is used for company/institution/organization/person etc as an economic legal entity. The legal name of the entity has to be used in all its transactions. Business area: It is used in the sense of branch, market, sector to work and to earn money. WHAT IS STRATEGY IN BUSINESS LIFE? Strategy in business life is determining the direction and the way to reach the goals set by the company, and managing how to reach the goals on the direction and the path determined. Strategy is a kind of design; it is to be prepared in advanced. It is determining the behavior patterns to achieve the goals; it is the ability to foresee effectively to continue to exist in the changing conditions in the field of business. It is a philosophy of being in the business life, a point of view to business. In short, it is to create a common set of understanding in which goals, policies, works and plans made are compatible with each other. OBJECTIVES IN FORMING THE STRATEGY Our priority is to put the customer (company/institution/organization/person) in a different, unique and preferable position in their business area, to create a unique added value for them, and to create a clear and applicable strategy that will ensure sustainable competitiveness. First of all; the firm must have a clear understanding of its distinctive feature(s) that will make it being preferred. If this is missing or not enough, the first thing to do is to bring out the distinguishing feature (features) of the company from other similar companies. By the awareness of the features, the company's goals should be revealed with all their clarity and how these goals can be achieved should be determined. Strategy is not just about farsightedness and/or planning. One can be deceived if only thinks to control the future. The main purpose is to make careful and meaningful analyzes that can positively affect one’s company's position in the market. In summary -in sailor jargon- the purpose for a good strategy; when it starts to be implemented, it is to be the guide ship that creates the wake, not following the the wake. STRATEGY APPROACH It would not be the right approach to say that the best way to develop a strategy is this. Basically, the strategy is to establish an appropriate management system and process. In summary; strategy in business, , ……………………………………………………………….. …………………………………………………………………………………………………….. ……………………………………………………………………………………………………… STRATEGIC PLANNING Strategic planning usually deals with structural and infrastructural changes that affect or trigger the organization. … STRATEGY ELEMENTS A well-defined strategy; seeks answers to questions; What? Why? When? Where? Who? How? … STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT Strategic Management is to use of the firm's resources (materials, facilities and manpower) in a benefical manner in order to keep the firm in a position to ensure its longterm survival in a competitive business area and to organize them to achieve the set goals and objectives. Business strategy is an organization's way of saying how it creates unique value and thus how it will impact the customer. Unless it is a new brand start, to understand the strategy of a particular firm, ıt is necessary to understand what are the factors that make the company what it is today. For this, the following questions must be answered: such as; ……………………………………………………….? ……………………………………………………….? ……………………………………………………….? ……………………………………………………….?

Master Algorithm for Sustainable Maritimization; Holistic Maritime Power and Maritimization Model #sustainablemaritimization #maritimization #maritimepower #maritimeeconomics #maritimeeducation #seapower #maritimevision #maritimeculture #sustainableseapower Prof.Dr. Nurhan Kahyaoğlu By the geographical discoveries in the 15th century, the importance of the seas became more prominent, and humanity realized that it could benefit more from the sea. Although the effort to explore the space has been started not more than 65 years, the oceans have throughout the history been a vital resource for humanity, an alternative for transportation and trade, a tool of prosperity and civilization and a source of inspiration for humankind. This historical process can be called as maritimization. Maritimization; the sustainable use of oceans/seas is the basic element of the development of civilization. It is inevitable that multinational companies are steering the world economy with the globalization in economic, social and technological terms. Maritime also be affected by globalization together with the striking and rapid developments in the field of communication. It would not be correct to consider maritime separate from globalization, and globalization from maritime. As in the chicken and egg situation, evaluation of globalization without the concept of maritimization will never yield a satisfactory result, because; maritimization is one of the dominant dynamics of globalization. In fact, as more than 80% of the oceans are still waiting to be explored, this can be achieved by a comprehensive and holistic model of sustainable maritimization. It is obvious that there is a necessity to create a model that will cover all the components of the seas/oceans/waters including the interaction of each component with each other. For “maritime power” to implement and develop a holistic vision; To apply and, to develop a holistic vision, “maritime economics”, “seapower”, “maritime vision”, “maritime culture”, “maritime education” are discussed as the five basic components for “maritime power” (Kahyaoğlu, N., Çetin, O., Irak, D. M., 2020). For to develop the model those questions must be asked; Have maritimization been adopted as an ideal? What is holistic approach for maritimization? The answer is simple; it is to take into account all the benefits throughout the three layers of the sea/oceans/waters, which are; the surface (near coast and far seas), the above-sea up to the near atmospheric layer and, the underwater surface i.e. the interior of the sea and the sea-bottom including all the resources under the sea floor of the whole exclusive economic zone (EEZ). In the most general sense; it is to be emphasized that it covers everything related to the sea/oceans/waters, such as geographical, hydrographic, oceanographic, geomorphological, atmospheric, etc., in and on and, under the every layer (3-Layer) mentioned above (nkconsultum blog 2022). This 3-Layer Holistic Maritimization Model (3-Layer HMM) is deemed as a puzzle-game (puzzle approach); one can define it as “obtaining different shapes by combining parts”. But, if any of the aforementioned components; the maritime economic vision, sea power, maritime vision, maritime culture, maritime education and, any of their subcomponents are missing, the model cannot be established (nkconsultum blog 2022). To achieve these three results mentioned, states benefited economically from the seas by the three layers such as subsoil-natural resources, subsurface-fishing, surface-transportation etc. The seas have always maintained its importance as an economic power and gravitational field for all ages. Countries have had to create naval power for the protection of their maritime economy. For these economic and security approaches to be sustainable, states need the maritime vision. The maritime vision carries economic and military development beyond the horizon. And also, the basis of sea power, maritime vision and maritime economy is based on well-trained manpower. Well-trained manpower needs a maritime education with a planned, coordinated, holistic approach, and a maritime culture for the formation of maritime awareness in the public. For these reasons, the 3-LHMM, which will provide the results of security of country, wealth of nations and innovational and libertarian thinking ability, was established with these 5 basic sub-elements. Therefore; it is inevitable to implement HMM in order to be a maritime country in a holistic way and to make maritime sustainable. A study by a group of researchers on this issue is currently on going in Turkey. Our aim is to develop a logical model—a master algorithm—in which the interactions of all components of maritime and maritime power can be evaluated simultaneously, with an approach that does not exclude any maritime-related elements, including all sub-elements in the definition of a sustainable maritimization. By using the data obtained from the open literature, with inferential statistical methods applied to the 3-Layer Holistic Maritime Model (3-LHMM) the first results of this study has been obtained. As depicted in Figure 1. security of the countries is an essential out-put of this approach because all navies all around the world are mainly built for the security of the nations. But the claim about the Wealth of Nations and Innovational and Libertarian Thinking Ability needs a scientific support. In this sense, correlation and regression tests are the suitable way to see the relation between data and to give a decision, so the inferential statistical methods are used to analyze the relations in between. As an example; the relation between the two main results of maritimization process Wealth and Innovational and Libertarian Thinking Ability and Maritime Power was analyzed by inferential statistical methods by correlation and regression tests with the software for statistics SPSS 20.0. The relation between Liner Shipping Connectivity Index (LSCI) and Gross National Income (GNI) is analyzed from the sight of Wealth-Maritime Power relation. Thereafter, the relation of Capacity for Innovation (CI) and LSCI is analyzed from the sight of Innovational and Libertarian Thinking Abilities - Maritime Power relation. For the Wealth and Maritime Power relationship evaluation in the concept of the relation between Liner Shipping Connectivity Index (LSCI) -dependent variable- and Gross National Income (GNI) –independent variable-, 44 countries were selected for correlation and regression analyses. To depict the strength of relations the Pearson and Spearman correlation tests were carried out. For both two tests, their correlation was found significant at the 0.01 level id est. so one can say that GNI and LSCI have a relation and have effects to each other. But, the important point here is the strength of this relation. Correlation coefficient is 0.502 in Pearson Correlation test and 0.458 in Spearman Correlation test. So, it can be affirmed that there is a significant relation but not so strong relation since the two variables includes many other variables. GNI has wide range and assisted by more sectors from agriculture, industry to construction and etc. On the other hand, Liner Shipping Connectivity Index does not include all maritime power topics. There are many other maritime economic areas. Moreover, maritime power is a notion includes not only maritime economic areas, but also sea power, maritime culture, maritime vision and maritime education. That’s why the relation’s strength is in expected level. According to these results; it is concluded that, countries that have developed their maritime power continuously have gained the ability to expand and deepen their security areas and, also have developed their prosperity. Those are the countries that have created their maritime power and sustainable maritimization process with the components mentioned above. Now, let's add a few related terms and concepts to expand the subject; data science, databases, data mining, statistics, clustering analysis, artificial neural networks, deep learning, algorithm analysis, theory of algorithm, genetic algorithm, machine learning, artificial learning, smart machines, fuzzy logic, decision making theory, decision support systems, decision trees, multilayer sensors, Naive Bayes classification systems, classification algorithm... One can reproduce this list. All these terms are associated with artificial intelligence (AI). In artificial intelligence, the most striking aspect is that different applications of AI are based on only a few algorithms. For example, the Naive Bayes algorithm which is a probabilistic machine learning algorithm based on the Bayes Theorem, used in a wide variety of classification tasks is used in the health sector with a holistic approach; it is discussed in open sources that there is a learning algorithm that can diagnose the patient in a very short time, when symptoms, patient's test results, and special information about the patient are used as data. Suffix; although developments in transportation and in communication technologies determine the development of globalization, for sustainable maritimization, which is the dominant dynamic of modernization and globalization, should be handled holistically. In this context, maritimization is supposed to be a process that needs a long term plan with a model such as 3-LHMM and should be well managed during a planned period of time on the course of this model. In order to determine a scientific explanation for the results and outputs of the 3-LHMM a quantitative algorithm is needed. For the upcoming researches; developing a maritimization algorithm for the quantification of the models might establish harmonious relations to fulfill the understanding of maritime power-sea power in unison. For the development of maritime and for sustainable maritimization this must be the main goal. For this it is necessary to establish an algorithm, “Decision Management Algorithm for Maritimization" supported by any of those digital intelligence techniques mentioned above.
