The Unicist Research Institute (TURI) is a private organization focused on ontogenesis, founded in 1976, that introduced the Causal Approach to Science and provided the functionalist structure needed to manage causality in the real world using a logical approach validated through destructive tests. The discovery of the Unicist Ontogenetic Logic and the Double Dialectics, both of which emulate the intelligence of nature, enabled the development of the Unicist Ontology as the scientific framework for functionality and causality in adaptive environments. The technologies developed at TURI are transferred to governments and private organizations using an outcome-based business model and are made available under the Creative Commons 4.0 (CC 4.0) license to ensure the autonomy of users.
