A Root Cause Approach to Science
The unicist functionalist approach to science was developed to manage complexity and adaptive systems. This new stage is based on understanding the root causes of the functionality of entities, which define their “know-how” and “know-why.” Neither empirical science nor philosophy has ever addressed the “why” of things, only their operationality and meanings sustained by justifications. The unicist functionalist approach introduced the use of both justifications and foundations to make it possible to address the “why” of adaptive entities. The Unicist Research Institute, founded in 1976, is the research organization where the functionalist approach was developed, based on a pragmatic, structural, and functionalist framework to address the unicist double dialectical behavior of nature, which defines the root causes of functionality and applies them to the real world.
A Double Dialectical AI
It involves defining the intrinsic and extrinsic functions that establish the functionality and use value of entities.
These principles underlie the functionality of adaptive entities of any kind and drive their dynamics and evolution.
Functionalist principles work by developing binary actions that open possibilities and ensure results without generating reactions.
