Discoveries that Made the Unicist Functionalist Approach Possible

The Unicist functionalist approach ensures the functionality of adaptive entities before addressing their operationality. AI-based functionalist expert systems “democratize” knowledge to address the functionality and operation of adaptive systems, as well as the resolution of complex problems.

Since 1976, The Unicist Research Institute (TURI), a leading private research center, has focused on understanding the functionality of evolution, adaptive systems, and environments at natural, personal, institutional, economic and social levels.

TURI introduced several concepts and methodologies that were previously nonexistent. The most significant is the development of the unicist functionalist approach to science, which provides a framework for understanding and managing adaptive environments through the discovery of unicist functionalist principles. This approach focuses on emulating nature’s double dialectical behavior, leading to the creation of unicist ontogenetic logic.

This unicist logic enables the comprehension and management of the functionality and dynamics of adaptive systems through a triadic, non-dualistic structure. Additionally, the institute developed the unicist ontological research methodology, offering a new way to address complex adaptive systems, replacing traditional systemic approaches.

The introduction of unicist ontogenetic maps supports the emulation of the unified field of adaptive environments, while the development of unicist binary actions ensures synchronized actions that drive functionalist principles. These innovations have transformed paradigms in complexity science research and applications, enabling the systematic organization of knowledge across various fields.

It also enabled the development of a knowledge base of the involved functions, which is timeless and cross-cultural, remaining valid as long as these functions exist.

Basic Research

  • Unicist Ontogenetic Logic: It is an emulation of the intelligence of nature that regulates the functionality, dynamics, and evolution of living beings and adaptive entities of any kind.
  • Unicist Evolution Laws: Including the laws of functionality, dynamics, and evolution of adaptive systems.
  • Unicist Ontology: It defines the nature of things based on their functionality.
  • Unicist Functionalist Principles: These principles manage the unified field of entities and define the functionality of adaptive environments based on their purposes, active functions and energy conservation functions.
  • Unicist Binary Actions: These are two synchronized actions that open possibilities and ensure results to make functionalist principles work.
  • Functionalist Approach to Science: A pragmatic, structuralist and functionalist approach to adaptive systems and environments integrating the know-how and the know-why of things.
