Adaptive systems

XI International Unicist Conference – Nov. 21, 2020

September 2, 2020 in The Unicist Research Institute tagged Adaptive systems / Complexity Science / The Unicist Research Institute / The Unicist School / Unicist Evolutionary Approach / XI International Unicist Conference by The Unicist Research Institute

The 4^th Industrial Revolution and the COVID-19 are the two forces that require entering a new stage in the world that deals with adaptiveness and customer orientation. In this scenario, the basics of the unicist ontological research method that allows managing adaptive environments will be presented in the XI International Conference.

This conference also presents the innovative technologies that have been developed to manage adaptive processes, that became necessary due to the 4^th Industrial Revolution and the crisis generated by the COVID-19. The use of the discovered binary actions, that materialize maximal and minimum strategies, simplifies the development of counter-cycles in the crisis generated by the coronavirus.

The conference includes the presentation of the future scenarios that define the trends of the next stage and the short-term future to manage the conjuncture. This year, it includes aspects that deal with virtual collaboration in the business world that became a need due to the COVID-19.

The conference also honors developments of companies that are based on objects that implicitly emulate the organization of nature.

The purpose of the unicist conferences is to give access to information on the new scientific developments, in the field of complexity sciences, of The Unicist Research Institute for the community and to new technologies that were developed to make possible things that were not possible before. They provide new solutions that satisfy latent needs in plain language. They are homologous to medical conferences.

The access to this new development happens in plain language to make it accessible to the participants. The objective is that the participants are able to access a new solution and profit from it.

The basic trend that sustains the conferences is fostering the approach to natural organization in business, to foster growth and optimize processes, which implies emulating the intelligence, organization and evolution of nature.

Research: The Unicist Theory integrates the Macrocosmos and the Microcosmos

January 3, 2020 in The Unicist Research Institute tagged Adaptive systems / Complexity Science / Complexity Science Research / Ontogenetic Intelligence of Nature / Peter Belohlavek / Unicist Evolutionary Approach / Unicist Theory / Unicist Theory of Evolution by The Unicist Research Institute

An international research consortium is being organized to confirm the hypothesis that the unicist theory is the integrator of the macrocosmos and the microcosmos. The purpose of this theory is to provide a framework to forecast the evolution of adaptive entities considering their restricted and wide contexts.

The Unicist Theory explains the evolution and dynamics of complex adaptive entities, whether they are natural entities or artificial entities. This theory is based on the discovery of the triadic structure of the ontogenetic intelligence of nature, which drove to a universal application. Access a synthesis of the theory: https://www.unicist-school.org/complexity-sciences/unicist-theory/

This theory describes the universal structure of the unified field in nature that is applicable to all complex adaptive entities, whatever their kind. It needs to be considered that the unified field has a triadic structure that is homologous to the structure of the ontogenetic intelligence of nature. Unicist concept was the name given to this triadic structure.

The Macrocosmos

The structure of unicist concepts allows defining the structure of the evolution of nature (living beings), of the universe and of any complex adaptive system or environment. It emulates the functionality, dynamics and evolution of any adaptive environment, whatever its quality. Access the Unicist Library: https://www.unicist.com/flexpaper/flex-files/collection-unicist-r-and-d/unicist_ontology_evolution_en5_b/

The structures of the concepts define the positive potential energy that is implicit in the objects that integrate these concepts, which define the energy of the double dialectical actions that can be seen in the expansion of the universe and the gravitational force that sustains this expansion.

These two functions are homologous with the active and entropic function and the energy conservation function of the unicist evolutionary approach.

The Microcosmos

The credibility or functionality zone behaves like a “micro-cosmos”. Its functionality is compatible and homologous to what is known as quantum mechanics.
Access the Unicist Library: https://www.unicist.com/flexpaper/flex-files/general/wp_unicist_mechanics_en/

While the active function works as “waves”, the energy conservation function works as “particles”.

A particle is an object which is sub-atomic and has a definite mass and charge.
A wave is a disturbance that propagates through space and time, usually with transference of energy.

This implies that a given reality works as “waves and particles”.

Synthesis

The format of this research project fully depends on the participants of the research project. Until the end of this year, The Unicist Research Institute expects to find associates to integrate a physicist, a biologist, a mathematician and an epistemologist that have an extreme level of abstraction capacity and are active in this field or a homologous field. There will also be a group of volunteers participating in the destructive testing processes.

The Basics of Double Dialectical Actions (DDA)

December 4, 2019 in The Unicist Research Institute tagged Adaptive systems / DDA / Double Dialectical Behavior / The Unicist Research Institute by The Unicist Research Institute

Double Dialectical Behavior is natural and “automatic” in any complex adaptive system. The discovery of the structure of the concepts that underlies these systems allowed understanding how these double dialectical actions drive the evolution of these systems.

Examples:

The actions of living beings deal with growth – survival
The actions of human actions deal with efficacy – efficiency
The actions of the evolution of the universe deal with expansion – gravitational force
The actions of leadership deal with participation – power exertion
The actions of aesthetics deal with desirability – harmony

These actions deal with the double dialectical logic that allows emulating the functionality, dynamics and evolution of adaptive systems or environments.

Its application to influence human behavior drove to the modeling of double dialectical actions which allow designing influential strategies to expand while developing the necessary actions to ensure survival.

DDAs are the necessary synchronic double dialectical actions that ensure results when dealing with adaptive systems. They are based on the management of the root causes of their functionality.

The Unicist Approach to Cosmology: The Evolution of the Universe

November 28, 2019 in The Unicist Research Institute tagged Adaptive systems / Complexity Science / Cosmology / Evolution of the Universe / Intelligence of Nature / Peter Belohlavek / The Unicist Research Institute by The Unicist Research Institute

These two functions are homologous with the active and entropic function and the energy conservation function of the unicist evolutionary approach.

Concepts work as “dark matter/energy”, they cannot be seen, they can be inferred and measured based on their “consequences/effects”.

Someday, what underlies dark matter/energy will be known as the structures of concepts of “things” could be found and described using unicist ontological reverse engineering.

This confirmation is nothing new. It just clarifies the universality of the unicist conceptual approach. The management of the Unicist Standard Language gives you access to the management of the functionality, dynamics and evolution of adaptive environments.

The Unicist Research Institute does not enter the field of cosmology beyond the clarification of the laws of evolution, because we do not have the “capacity” to define or give opinions on the origin of the universe and are exclusively focused on influencing the evolution of adaptive environments and systems.

The consistency with the evolution of the universe is just “a proof” of the functionality of the unicist model that describes and defines the unified field of evolution.

This research was led by Peter Belohlavek at The Unicist Research Institute as part of the development of the Unicist Constructivist Framework that is applied to social, institutional, business and individual evolution.

Thought Experiments in Complexity Science Research

December 18, 2018 in Unicist Binary Actions / Unicist Cobots tagged Adaptive systems / Mental Emulation / The Unicist Research Institute / Thought Experiments / Unicist Reflection by Peter Belohlavek

People can manage those problems whose solutions they are able to emulate in mind. Different functional intelligences allow emulating different types of solutions. This process was named “Thought Experiment” and has be come a popular domain through Albert Einstein’s work.

Thought Experiment – Gedankenexperiment: Albert Einstein, one of the greatest minds of the 20th century, forever changed the landscape of science by introducing revolutionary concepts that shook our understanding of the physical world. One of Einstein’s most defining qualities was his remarkable ability to conceptualize complex scientific ideas by imagining real-life scenarios. He called these scenarios Gedankenexperiments,which is German for thought experiments. (Ali Sundermier) – Nikola Tesla’s researches and developments are also paradigmatic examples of this approach to science and problem solving.

The unicist approach was developed to build structural solutions in adaptive environments. This requires emulating reality in mind.

This emulation is materialized in the building of a model that has to be homologous to the real world. This model must allow envisioning a specific functional reality and also experiencing it.

The unicist approach to the emulation of reality is homologous to the thought experimental approach.

The unicist approach implies an action-reflection-action process that requires finding the root causes of facts and emulating in mind the solutions that upgrade the previous stage.

Unicist reflection requires the use of destructive tests to define the limits of the validity of knowledge or solutions. The unicist destructive tests are based on self-criticism, which fosters personal improvement, and includes a spontaneous amending attitude and the capacity of laughing at oneself.

The unicist reflection process is a sort of thought experiment, that basically deals with finding or managing the root causes of real problems and the root drivers of real solutions. This reflection process is a destructive and non-destructive tests driven process.

The unicist approach, that is homologous to the processes used by Albert Einstein and Nikola Tesla, integrates the development of destructive and non-destructive tests with the unicist reverse engineering method and the unicist reflection methodology to develop solutions.

This needs to be sustained by a solution thinking focus that uses an ontological approach to apprehend the concepts involved.

Unicist Artificial Intelligence

February 5, 2018 in Intelligent Systems / The Unicist Research Institute / Unicist Cobots tagged Adaptive systems / Artificial Intelligence / Intelligent Knowledge Systems / Unicist Evolutionary Approach by The Unicist Research Institute

Unicist artificial intelligence was developed to manage adaptive systems and environments. It is a core tool when dealing with the concept of “Industry 4.0” applied to businesses.

It allows monitoring adaptive solutions by using the unicist logic that emulates the intelligence that underlies nature. It provides a tool for root cause management, unicist business strategy building and conceptual management.

When dealing with big data it is complemented with neural networks to develop reliable big data analytics.

The unicist artificial intelligence allows developing monitors to manage business intelligence, business strategy, marketing and designing business functions and business objects. It allows emulating and supporting the development of solutions in the mind of deciders.

The unicist artificial intelligence allows building monitors to emulate and develop adaptive systems in social, economic and business environments.

The Challenge of using Unicist Adaptive Project Management

July 22, 2015 in Intelligent Systems / The Unicist Research Institute / Unicist Cobots tagged Adaptive Project Management / Adaptive systems / Business Objects / Complex problems / Intelligent Systems / The Unicist Research Institute / Unicist Confederation / Unicist Corporate University / Unicist Evolutionary Approach / Unicist Logical Approach / Unicist Object driven Organization / Unicist Standard by Peter Belohlavek

The development of a new approach to manage projects became necessary to deal with adaptive systems. Adaptive systems produce actions and reactions during the development of a project that need to be managed in order to ensure the achievement of the objectives.

While the traditional approach considers that plan B is an emergency plan to achieve goals, the unicist approach to project management considers that the plan B is superior and includes plan A, the plan C is superior than plan B but includes it, and the plan D is an abortion plan that includes the development of a succedaneum solution.

These alternative plans have to be predefined before the project begins. It is necessary to consider that the most participative alternative is given by plan A and the most “directive” alternatives are given by plan C and D.

That is why the unicist approach to project management is necessary to deal with adaptive systems that are in motion and unnecessary when dealing with systems where the adaptive aspects do not need to be considered.

The stages of the Adaptive Project Management are:

1. Process Control Centered

The process control centered manager is focused on establishing the necessary operational, administrative and control systems to monitor the process using a forward chaining design process that allows having the information on each stage of the process.

2. Authoritative Management Centered

Authoritative management includes having the capacity of controlling the processes. It implies that the manager has the vision of the problem and alternative solutions in order to define the plan C for any central aspect of a project.

3. Objects Management Centered

This level includes having the capacity of developing an authoritative management of the project. It requires that the manager be able to apprehend the complexity of the adaptive aspects of projects.

4. Process Management Centered

This level includes the capacity of developing the object management of projects. It is based on having apprehended the unified field of the project as a solution in the context where it is being developed.

Conclusion

Adaptive Project Management requires integrating project planning and project execution skills to ensure that the solutions be achieved. It is based on approaching projects based on the use of processes and objects that have proven their capacity to provide the necessary solutions. It implies having a sound systemic knowledge and the knowledge of the fundamentals that underlie the solution.

Participation in Unicist Think Tanks to develop Solutions

June 18, 2015 in The Unicist Research Institute / Unicist Cobots / Unicist Logical Approach tagged Adaptive systems / Complexity Science Research / The Unicist Research Institute / Unicist Confederation / Unicist Corporate University / Unicist Evolutionary Approach / Unicist Logical Approach / Unicist Standard / Unicist Think Tanks by Peter Belohlavek

The Unicist Research Institute (TURI) is a private global decentralized research center specialized in complexity sciences that is focused on the research of the evolution of adaptive systems. More than 5,000 unicist ontological researches were developed since 1976 in the field of individual, institutional and social evolution.

If you are interested in participating please contact: n.i.brown@unicist.org

About the Think Tanks

Think Tanks are small autonomous organizations, organized by industry, that use the technology provided by The Unicist Research Institute to manage complexity. Unicist is in charge of the quality assurance of the R&D process. Each Think Tank is organized based on the type of industry.

There are four types of Think Tanks

1) For Basic Sciences
2) For Future Research
3) For Social/Economic Long-term Planning
4) For Unicist Spin-off Implementation

Think Tanks are integrated by Doers

The research on human complex adaptive systems cannot be done through artificial experiments or simulations. It has to be developed in an environment of real action. In the unicist approach doing and researching are integrated in a unified field. That is why only “doers” can research the field of complex adaptive processes. Observers can only rationalize them.

Complexity Science Research

Complexity Sciences are defined as the scientific approach to deal with adaptive systems considering them as a unified field. The critical masses of all the interdependent elements included in the unified field of an adaptive system define its functionality. The unicist approach to complexity sciences integrates ontology, science and actions in a unified field.

Adaptive Technologies for Businesses

The available IT technologies made the development of adaptive systems meaningful. The objective of building adaptive systems is to integrate software, hardware and peopleware in adaptive work or business processes to assure the quality of the results produced.

The unicist approach to concepts, pre-concepts and anti-concepts

November 19, 2013 in The Unicist Research Institute / Unicist Cobots / Unicist Logical Approach tagged Adaptive systems / Anti-concepts / Concepts / Conceptual Knowledge / Pre-concepts / The Unicist Research Institute / Unicist Corporate University / Unicist Evolutionary Approach / Unicist Logical Approach / Unicist Reflection by Peter Belohlavek

A concept is a “complex” entity in itself. People who know the concept of something have the knowledge of the possibilities and the evolution of a specific reality.

There are two elements that hinder its apprehension for those who are focused on their personal benefit:

Being focused on one’s needs requires dualistic thinking (implicit in the dialectics of Hegel and Marx). It implies the use of disjunctions and the absence of the necessary conjunctions. Thus the individual is transformed into an observer who cannot emulate a concept in mind because he is not integrated with the external reality. Dualism hinders the apprehension of concepts.

Genetic behavior inhibits understanding others to profit from them. http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=is-altruism-a-genetic-trait

Pre-concept are conceptual constructions to avoid one’s personal risks. Anti-concepts are the entities that destroy concepts. They work like anti-matter deals with matter.

Gamma waves are the waves that appear when an extreme level of consciousness is achieved. We use a reflection process, action-reflection-action, which allows accessing concepts. It has to occur in real value adding actions to be effective.

It is a precise methodology to access gamma brain waves to use concepts and build strategies. We develop this to work in the field of businesses and future scenarios.

Accessing the following links you will see other homologous description of the concept of gamma waves.

Anti-intuition is an intuitive perception that produces paradoxical results. Paradoxical results imply the self-destruction of the individual or of the goal that wants to be achieved. It is triggered by anti-intelligence.

That is why complexity is only for giving people. Takers can only rationalize concepts but cannot manage accordingly. Giving in business implies giving first and profiting from the counterpart. It is not a utopia.

Unicist Education: Dealing with enterprises as adaptive systems

October 27, 2013 in Intelligent Systems / The Unicist Research Institute / Unicist Cobots / Unicist Logical Approach / Unicist Object driven Technologies tagged Adaptive systems / Business Objects / Business strategy / Diana Belohlavek / Diego Belohlavek / Fundamental analysis / The Unicist Research Institute / Unicist Confederation / Unicist Corporate University / Unicist Evolutionary Approach / Unicist Standard / Unicist Thinking by Peter Belohlavek

The unicist logical approach allowed managing the adaptive aspects of businesses by using unicist logical tools and business objects. This approach provides cross-cultural solutions based on the researches made at The Unicist Research Institute. To access the basics that sustain unicist education please access:
www.unicist.org/sdp.shtml

Complex adaptive aspects of businesses need to be learned in their dynamics which implies that they need to be learned making real applications based on the knowledge of their dynamic structure.

This is analogous to medical residencies in teaching hospitals where graduated physicians learn to manage a specialty. It has to be considered that medicine is a paradigmatic case of complexity:
http://www.massgeneral.org/education/

The Future Scenario: Static vs. Dynamic Learning Processes

The superior education in business management provided an empirical operational and analytical framework for business management that upgraded professionalism in the XXth century.

The static empirical model that permitted administrating businesses provided the knowledge that allowed developing the necessary information technology that became redundant with the superior educational programs. Simultaneously, the explosive R&D capacity to release new products shortened their lifecycle.

These two situations, the redundancy of operational an analytical knowledge and the acceleration of business processes, made the static empirical approach to business become functional to business operation but dysfunctional to business management.

This scenario opened new demands for superior education in businesses that are still unsatisfied.
http://www.unicistinstitute.net/blog/the-10-year-scenario-for-superior-education-in-business/

The Next Step: “teaching hospitals” in the business field

Unicist education is based on learning processes that are analogous to “teaching hospitals” based on real complex problem solving. The unicist educational model is a postgraduate model that deals with the learning of logical tools and business objects. You can access a white paper at:
www.unicist.org/deb_wpue.php

It requires having the necessary technical-analytical knowledge learned in graduate or undergraduate programs.

It requires the learning of:

1) The building of future scenarios

2) Diagnosing businesses

3) Developing Unicist Strategies

4) Building Business Architectures

The difference between the Unicist Education and the Professional Education can be synthesized in:

Aspect	Unicist Education	Professional Education
Educational Framework	Teaching Hospital / Clinics	Workshops / Seminars / Courses
Educational Model	Complex Problem Solving	Systemic Problem Solving
Learning Approach	Action-Reflection-Action	Theory-Practice
Problem Solving Approach	Results Driven	Tasks Driven
Future Forecasting	Logical Inferences / Delphi Groups	Projections / Delphi Groups
Knowledge	Logical & Empirical Approach	Empirical Approach
Type of Tools	Unicist Logical Tools	Operational-analytical tools
Business Planning	Strategic approach	Analytic approach
Dominant type of Analysis	Fundamental Analysis	Technical Analysis
Risk Management	Ambiguity	Certainty
Business Processes	Adaptive Systems	Operational Systems

Educational Alternatives

We propose you compare the differences between unicist education and professional education by accessing the information on the unicist logical approach and the approaches to cross-cultural businesses of four major Global MBAs (2 in the USA and 2 in the EU).

We recommend beginning with the social communication of the different proposals.

What is the Unicist Logical Approach to Businesses?

Learn about the Unicist Logical Approach at: http://www.unicist.net/clipboard

The unicist logical approach manages the adaptive aspects of business as unified fields based on the knowledge of their ontogenetic maps.

Unicist Active Business Library

The knowledge of the ontogenetic map of a business, its market and the context allowed managing the fundamentals that define the possibilities of business actions.

The future scenario building became possible based on the knowledge of the ontology of evolution and the ontogenetic maps of a business and its restricted and wide contexts.

This knowledge allowed defining synergic maximal strategies, to expand beyond the boundaries of a business, and minimum strategies to work within them.

Adaptive business processes became reliable based on the use of ontology based business objects. The use of objects upgraded the role of human work in business.

The integration of fundamental analysis and technical analysis allowed building reliable business knowledge, transforming uncertainty into risk and integrating the knowledge of the possibilities of success with its probabilities.

All the solutions, business objects, technologies and knowledge provided by The Unicist Research Institute are based on the unicist logical approach and generate significant energy saving effects.

Teaching Hospitals in Business

The Unicist Corporate University (UCU) is the academic arm of The Unicist Research Institute that is organized as a Teaching Hospital that develops business residencies. It is based on technologies that allow building cross-cultural strategies: http://www.unicist.org/sdp.shtml#cc

The UCU is now expanding worldwide installing In-company Corporate Universities to provide the unicist technologies to deal with the adaptive aspects of businesses.
