(Once she appreciates these reasons, her inability to act accordingly is, essentially, the inability to conform her act to her own judgment, and to her corresponding (higher-order) desire).
Armed with the wireless neurophysiology-tampering technology of the late 21st century, one might discreetly induce a second-order desire in me to be moved by a first-order desire a higher-order desire with which I am satisfied and then let me deliberate as normal.
As we have seen, no such limitation seems to apply where the mental state at stake is an agent's highest-order desire, evaluative judgment, or plan, or even an integrated combination of such attitudes.
But suppose that a person's unopposed higher-order desire, the one on the basis of which Frankfurt's theory grounds the person's identification, is one towards which the agent is passive.
As discussed above (in section 5.3), Frankfurt's hierarchical theory needed supplementing so as to avoid the problem of an ever ascending conflict of higher-order desires.
One effort Frankfurt made to speak to the problem of conflicting higher-order desires is to hold that a person properly identifies with a lower-order desire (normally a first-order desire) when she has an unopposed higher-order volition to act in accord with the lower-order desire, and she judges that further deliberation would not influence her resolve (1987).
But this hierarchical step is not alone sufficient to capture the relevant freedom since an agent could also face conflicts at the level of second-order, or even higher orders, of desire.
We still do not know how to engineer higher order meaning, such as desire or fear.
Frankfurt's more recent work on the topics of freedom and the will, as well as different features of personhood (such as the emotion of love), bolster his original appeal to identification, an appeal which previously rested solely on an agent's having a higher-order volitional desire that some first-order desires be effective in leading her to act.
The desired higher order mass matrix is then deduced from the mixed mass matrix by optimizing the linear combination parameter to achieve the most favorable order of accuracy.
But, single MZM cannot provide sufficient flexibility to select and generate the desired higher order optical sidebands and hence several series parallel configuration have been utilized to achieve high frequency multiplication factors.
