Here some notes to help me clarify my own thinking. The notes may be useful to others as well.

5GW is the secret deliberative manipulation of actors, networks, institutions, states or any 0GW/1GW/2GW/3GW/4GW forces to achieve a goal or set of goals across a combination of socio, economic, and political domains while attempting to avoid or minimize the retaliatory offensive or defensive actions/reactions of 0GW/1GW/2GW/3GW/4GW powered actors, networks, institutions, and/or states.
WHO

WHAT
WHERE
- Socio, economic, and political domains
- Dimensions of War: physical, moral, mental, and institutional
- CyberSpace? (for a future post)
WHEN
WHY
- To achieve or increase the probability of achieving a goal against (or for) an otherwise unwilling target
- To wage war with inferior power or resources compared to the target
- To avoid counter-activity by the target (aka increased 5GWer survivability)
- “…an outcome which is lasting, i.e. a strong and resilient system, and this would also require that those living within any newly created or newly modified system consciously or unconsciously continue to maintain that system — rather than consciously or unconsciously form groups to bring it down.” [Source: CGW]
