The New Stage: A Functionalist Approach to the Real World
In 1976, The Unicist Research Institute (TURI) was founded by Peter Belohlavek, pioneering a transformative approach to understanding adaptive environments through the unicist functionalist framework. This approach fundamentally emphasizes the unicist ontological nature of systems, based on their functionality. It focuses on their purpose, active function, and energy conservation function, expressed through a triadic structure and double dialectics, which articulate the ontogenetic logic underlying the intelligence of nature.
TURI's scientific endeavors are characterized by the development of the unicist ontological methodology, foundational for understanding and managing adaptive systems. This includes the innovation of both destructive and non-destructive tests, which are part of the unicist epistemology, instrumental in comprehensively managing adaptive system dynamics. Their work has extended to discovering universal functional structures that underscore various phenomena.
TURI's mission revolves around the continuous elucidation and application of unicist functionalist principles, harnessing unicist ontogenetic logic to manage the functionality, dynamics, and evolution of adaptive systems. Through rigorous academic research and innovative methodologies, TURI consistently contributes to expanding the understanding of adaptive environments, ensuring their practical and effective management.
TURI has a Business Division and an Academic Division to introduce the causal approach to the market.

Ongoing Research Projects
Basic Research
Unicist Logic as a Framework for Unified Field Development in Physics
The use of Unicist Logic as the framework for developing a unified field in physics is a back-to-basics approach to understanding the complexities of the universe.
The Unified Field of the Macro- and Microcosm
The objective is to confirm the existence of the Unified Field in the realms of Physics, Biology, and Social Behavior, bridging the Macro- and Microcosm.
The Functionalist Structure of Quarks
The objective is to validate the hypothesis that unicist logic and its rules also apply when explaining the functionality of quarks and the unified field in physics.
Applied Research
Collaborative Research on the Causal Approach to Business
Development of agreements with leaders of companies to introduce the causal approach to business based on the use of functionalist principles, binary actions sustained by the use of the Unicist Virtual Advisor.
Development of a Framework for Educating Gifted Individuals at a Postgraduate Level
Value-adding actions propel gifted individuals to a higher level of consciousness, ultimately enhancing their skills. The ability to fail is crucial, as these failures lead them toward complementation.
Enhancing Conscious Reasoning of Adolescents
The objective is to confirm that the utilization of language facilitates abductive reasoning, which in turn enhances conscious reasoning when integrated with unicist logic.
Development of Next Generation Drugs for Healing
The objective of this research is to forge a new approach to health functionality that streamlines healing processes by integrating biological, psychological, and energetic dimensions.
Expansion of the Application Field of Functionalist Knowledge
The objective of the research is to delineate fields where the integration of the "know-how" and the "know-why" of their functionality is imperative.
Development of the Enterprise 5.0 Model
The objective is to articulate the natural organizational model that succeeds the business paradigm for the 4th Industrial Revolution.
The Functionality of Conscious Collective Intelligence
The objective of the research is to confirm the functionality of collective intelligence that manifests in adaptive environments guiding decision-making and actions.
