Abstract (EN): This paper calculates the degree of autonomy of a generic autonomous n - D system defined by the kernel of a partial difference operator. The calculation implies that attaching a generic controller to a nonautonomous system, results in a controlled system whose degree of autonomy is the maximum possible. Thus a generic controller is maximally efficient with respect to the criterion of maximising degree of autonomy. The term generic here refers to a dense open subset of the set of all n - D systems with the Zariski topology.
