Roadmap is outlined and system feedback loops are suggested, which in turn provides insights into factors such as time and conditions, based on which a supplication may be granted. It is shown that the topic of supplication, genuineness, and the level of self-growth are among the essential factors for the grant of a supplication. Supplication system is discussed to be a sub-system of
