Managing the Unified Field of Adaptive Entities

The unicist functionalist approach is based on managing the unified field of the functions that integrate an adaptive entity. This requires managing the ontogenetic maps of the intrinsic and extrinsic functionality of adaptive entities. This necessity arises because the fundamentals of functionalist principles, which define the purpose, active function, and energy conservation function, are integrated using conjunctions “and” and do not include exclusive disjunctions “or.” This implies that mathematically, their result is based on their multiplication.

When one of the elements does not provide what is needed, the result is “0” (zero). Therefore, managing solutions without addressing the unified field of the functionality of an adaptive entity is fallacious and does not generate the potential energy needed to make things work.

Functionalist Principles

The first principle of Aristotle and the TAO deal with the metaphysics of the real world. Both the unicist ontogenetic logic, which is a double dialectical logic, and the functionalist principles build a bridge between metaphysics and the real world to define the functionality of things. The unicist functionalist principle defines that every entity within the universe, when part of a system, operates with a purpose, an active and entropic function, and an energy conservation function, which define its unified field.

The integration of the binary actions defined by Yin and Yang makes the triadic structure of the unicist logic work. Both the TAO and the Unicist Ontogenetic Logic explain the structure of the unified field of the functionality of a specific reality including its dynamics and evolution.

Their interaction defines the functionality of the binary actions that make things work. Binary actions are two synchronized actions that, on the one hand, open possibilities establishing a functional context and, on the other hand, close processes to generate results.

The functionalist principle is based on the fact that the real world works as a unified field, which requires that the different functions be driven by the same principle to work as an integrated unit.

The research of functionalist principles is based on the use of unicist ontological reverse engineering of facts to find the roots of their functionality.

The discovery of the functional structure of functionalist principles and binary actions, made by Peter Belohlavek, enabled the systematic design of synchronized binary actions possible, which simplified and ensured the results of processes of any kind.

The functionalist principle defines the how and why of the functionality of things to install the binary actions that make things work.

The functionalist principle gave birth to functional knowledge to manage the real world by integrating the know-how and the know-why of things.

The unicist ontology defines the unified field of things based on their functionalist principles. Their research requires using ontological reverse engineering and their use is based on conceptual engineering.

The unicist functionalist principle uses unicist logic to define the unified field of things and was developed at The Unicist Research Institute.

Unicist functionalist knowledge defines the concepts and fundamentals of things and builds a bridge between the metaphysics of the first principle of Aristotle and the TAO of Lao Tzu and the empirical world. Some examples will make functionalist principles evident:

Applications

The Functionalist Principle of an Airplane

The purpose of flying an airplane can be considered to move from one airport to another. The active function is given by the propulsion and the energy conservation function is given by the lift provided by the wings. The binary actions to make an airplane fly begin by producing the propulsion that generates the necessary speed of the airflow on the wings of the airplane to generate the lift.

The Functionalist Principle of an Electric Motor

The purpose of an electric motor is to convert electrical energy into mechanical energy. DC motors and AC motors are based on the same essential principles that define their triadic structure.

Their active function is based on transforming electrical energy into magnetic energy. The energy conservation function transforms magnetic energy into mechanical energy.

The binary actions of the process are, on the one hand, the transformation of electrical energy into magnetic energy and, on the other hand, the transformation of the magnetic force into mechanical energy. These processes happen within the rotor and the stator of an electric motor.

The Functionalist Principle of Leadership

The purpose of leadership is to ensure the authority of a leader by driving people toward the achievement of something. It applies to all kinds of leadership, whether they are in family, social, or business environments.

The active function is given by the participation of the members of a group who aim at achieving their goals while they challenge authority.

The energy conservation function is based on the non-exerted power the authority has to sustain the functionality of the participation and the achievement of goals.

The binary actions are, on the one hand, the participative activities between the leader and the members and, on the other hand, the existence of the necessary power to influence people without needing to exert it.

Functionalist Principles work through Binary Actions

Functionalist principles define the functionality of things while binary actions manage their operationality.

The functionalist principle defines the integration of the purpose with the active function based on the supplementation law which implies that the active function is redundant with the purpose but aims at a superior level of evolution. This produces a binary action that expands possibilities.

On the other hand, the purpose is integrated with the energy conservation function based on complementation law, where the second binary actions complement the purpose to ensure the achievement of its objectives.
