What is claimed is: 1. A method of cooling components across a continuum, wherein the continuum comprises a plurality of levels, said method comprising: receiving detected data related to the components across the continuum; evaluating the detected data to determine whether an irreversibility based policy is being met, wherein the irreversibility policy comprises a policy for reducing a total irreversibility of the components across the continuum, and wherein the total irreversibility comprises a sum of irreversibilities in flow, irreversibilities in thermodynamic work, and irreversibilities in thermal transfer; developing a control scheme based upon the evaluated data, said control scheme being configured to manipulate one or more actuators across a plurality of levels; and manipulating one or more of the actuators across the plurality of levels in accordance with the developed control scheme. 2. The method according to claim 1, wherein developing a control scheme based upon the evaluated data further comprises developing a control scheme designed to substantially minimize irreversibility of heat exchange at the plurality of levels of the continuum. 3. The method according to claim 1, wherein developing a control scheme further comprises developing a control scheme according to an operational policy designed to govern operation of computational and environmental resources across the continuum. 4. The method according to claim 1, wherein developing a control scheme further comprises developing a control scheme according to a sustainability policy designed to at least one of affect an operational cost of the continuum and reduce the effect of the components on the environment in which the components are contained by improving operational efficiency and reducing irreversibilities. 5. The method according to claim 1, wherein receiving the detected data further comprises receiving the detected data in a continuum controller of the continuum, and wherein evaluating the detected data and developing a control scheme are performed by the continuum controller. 6. The method according to claim 1, wherein receiving the detected data further comprises receiving the detected data in a plurality of controllers, each of said plurality of controllers being assigned to a different level in the plurality of levels, and wherein evaluating the detected data and developing a control scheme are performed by the plurality of controllers. 7. A system for controlling cooling of components across a continuum, said continuum comprising a plurality of levels, said system comprising: a sensor network having a plurality of sensors configured to detect at least one condition at the plurality of levels; a plurality of actuators configured to vary one or more conditions at the plurality of levels; and at least one controller configured to receive condition information from the sensors and to evaluate the received condition information to determine whether an irreversibility based policy is being met, wherein the irreversibility policy comprises a policy for reducing a total irreversibility of the components across the continuum, and wherein the total irreversibility comprises a sum of irreversibilities in flow, irreversibilities in thermodynamic work, and irreversibilities in thermal transfer, said at least one controller being further configured to develop a control scheme to control the plurality of actuators based upon the evaluated condition information to substantially ensure that the irreversibility based policy is being met, and wherein the at least one controller is further configured to control the plurality of actuators at the plurality of levels. 8. The system according to claim 7, wherein the at least one controller comprises a plurality of controllers, each of said plurality of controllers being associated with a different level in the plurality of levels. 9. The system according to claim 7, wherein the at least one controller is configured to develop a control scheme according to an operational policy designed to govern operation of computational and environmental resources of the components across the continuum. 10.
