The development of a causal approach to the real world, underpinning the functionalist approach to science, has led to the formulation of laws that regulate the functionality, dynamics, and evolution of adaptive environments. These laws establish the framework for the unicist approach wherever it is applied.

Laws in nature are fundamental principles describing the behavior of the natural world, based on empirical observations and experimental evidence, and expressed in mathematical form.

The laws of nature and unicist laws are homologous. Unicist laws describe the behavior of adaptive systems. In contrast to laws in nature, these laws are grounded in real experiences rather than observations and are formulated in logical terms using unicist logic. They are categorized into three types: laws of functionality, dynamics, and evolution. The laws of adaptive systems were developed by Peter Belohlavek at The Unicist Research Institute.

Adopting the unicist functionalist approach simplifies the management of adaptive systems by opening up possibilities for growth and enhancing energy efficiency. At the end of this article, you will find interpretations of these laws from ChatGPT and Gemini-Google, which might help you understand them better.

Functionality Laws

The functionality of an adaptive system is addressed through the use of functionality laws. It is managed by defining proactive actions and using unicist functionalist principles, which specify the unicist binary actions required to achieve the defined results.

The Law of Functionality

 The Law of Functionality asserts that any adaptive entity, whether a living being or an artificial system, is driven by a functionalist principle. This principle comprises a purpose that defines its meaning, an active function that promotes growth, and an energy conservation function that ensures survival. The functionality of this principle is influenced by both the entity’s restricted and wide contexts. Learn more

The Law of Binary Actions

The law of binary actions asserts that every action in an adaptive environment generates a reaction. The set of unicist binary actions generates no reaction because the reaction to the first action creates a need that makes the second action necessary. This algorithm uses the rules of unicist logic.

The Law of Actions

The law of actions asserts that the concepts of things define their functionalist principles,, and the concepts people hold in their minds work as behavioral objects that drive their actions. When these concepts are conscious, they steer proactive actions; when unconscious, they trigger automated reactions. Learn more

Dynamics Laws

The dynamic of an adaptive system defines its adaptability. It is addressed by developing supplementary actions that drive the active principle of a function, and complementary actions that provide the energy conservation function, supporting the purpose of the function and integrated by the necessary timing of actions to ensure their effectiveness.

The Law of Complementation

The law of complementation asserts that the functionality of an entity’s purpose is achieved through the active function of another entity, and vice versa, while a shared energy conservation function establishes a unified field. Complementation occurs only when the purpose is also part of a supplementation process that threatens its stability. Learn more

The Law of Supplementation

The law of supplementation states that in an evolutionary context, the active function of an entity competes with the purpose by striving for a higher level of functionality. This is characterized by redundant purposes and active functions. Meanwhile, the energy conservation function of the competing entity fosters superior value by featuring an advanced energy conservation function that challenges the progression of reality.

The Law of Timing

The law of timing asserts that the dynamics of adaptive systems depend on the timing of the supplementary and complementary actions, which must possess the necessary acceleration to generate impact and speed to ensure their synchronicity. Learn more

Evolution Laws

The evolution of an adaptive system is addressed by using the evolution laws. It is managed by ensuring the natural evolutionary cycle, beginning with the application of the law of evolution, continuing with the law of involution, and integrated by the law of possibilities that fosters the next stage.

The Law of Evolution

The law of evolution asserts that individuals, groups, or cultures evolve when they start by developing the binary action of the active function of the functionalist principle of an entity and then develop the synchronized binary action of the energy conservation function to achieve the targeted purpose. Learn more

The Law of Involution

The law of involution states that individuals, groups, or cultures enter a state of involution when they initiate the development of the binary actions of the energy conservation function of an entity’s functionalist principle because they lack the necessary energy to undertake the binary actions demanded by the active function. Learn more

The Law of the Double Pendulum

The behavior of adaptive systems oscillates, with varying frequency, between expansion and contraction, and simultaneously between security and freedom, which drive the evolution of a system. Learn more

The Catalyzation Law

The extrinsic functionality of any adaptive system is influenced by external catalysts that are part of the restricted context, which open possibilities and accelerate processes. Processes are inhibited when these external catalysts are disregarded or if their energy level is insufficient.

The Law of Possibilities

The law of possibilities asserts that a possibility exists when there is an “empty” space based on a latent need, a source of potential energy that can be used to satisfy this need, and a way to release the potential energy. Learn more
