The New Stage in Science: A Causal Approach to the Real World
The Unicist Research Institute (TURI) was created in 1976 by Peter Belohlavek to discover the roots of evolution and to develop a scientific approach to the causality of adaptive systems and environments, enabling the creation of solutions that did not exist before. TURI is one of the few organizations in the world that research the roots of causality in science and in adaptive systems and environments to understand their functionality, dynamics, and evolution.
The discovery of double dialectics and the ontogenetic intelligence of nature led to the development of unicist ontogenetic logic, which provided the rules governing the functionality of self-organized adaptive systems of any kind, whether living beings or artificial entities.
The Paradigm Shift in Adaptive Environments
The objective was to overcome the limitations of the traditional scientific approach, which cannot address causality in adaptive environments, and to provide concrete solutions for managing natural, social, economic, and business environments. This led to the development of functionalist principles and unicist binary actions, which govern the functionality and operation of all types of adaptive entities. It also enabled the creation of unicist technologies to manage the root causes within adaptive environments.
The Paradigm Shift in AI
The creation of Unicist-DD AI represents a paradigm shift in artificial intelligence. It is based on the development of an artificial conscious reasoning engine that uses the rules of unicist ontogenetic logic to emulate human intelligence, something that was not possible with traditional AI.
Providing Technologies as a Service (TaaS)
Unicist-DD AI-Driven Labs transfer the developed technologies as a service (TaaS) to enhance the functionality of social, economic, and business organizations of any kind. It uses the Unicist Research Library as its long-term memory and operates through API instructions as its working memory to deliver functionalist technologies and solutions that address the root causes of problems.
TURI has a Business Division and an Academic Division to introduce the causal approach to the market.
