2012, the Year of the Possible

This year The Unicist Research Institute has celebrated the 35th anniversary with the most fruitful research effort in their history having finished more than 600 researches including some of them than demanded far more than 20 years (consciousness, unified field of human adaptive systems, etc). They made 600 new aspects in the field of individual, institutional and social fields become possible.

The unicist approach is based on finding out what is possible in order to focus on it. The unicist approach deals with the “possible”, defined as a noun. It has to be considered that a possibility is a conditional situation while the “possible” is an assertive fact.

What is possible sustains success. Everything that is possible can be achieved. But this has a problem: while it provides the security of what can be done, it demands the freedom of assuming the responsibility for doing it.

The crises in the world happen because something was not “possible” but this situation was disregarded. Failures are always a consequence of someone trying to do something impossible or of something possible that was not done because people did not assume the responsibility.

That is why The Unicist Research Institute promotes:

Reorganization of Butterfly-Companies

Finally it was decided to enter the business of restructuring small and mid-size businesses that suffer the syndrome of being butterfly-businesses.

Butterfly Enterprises are businesses that have been built with the implicit “butterfly virus” which kills the business after a conjuncture ended.

The research on the nature of the Butterfly Company began in 2001. These companies were named Butterfly because they are extremely beautiful and ephemeral for their owners.

Their main observable characteristics are the lack of: business planning, ROI, image building and use of adaptive systems. They cannot behave as an adaptive system and depend on the efficacy of their owners.

They are companies that disappear when the external conjuncture changes or the owners die.

The condition to restructure these businesses is that during the transition period an interim management is installed. This interim management needs to be hired by the company owners. The Unicist Confederation needs to have the veto for the hiring of the management.

This is an extremely valuable business focused basically on Family Businesses.

Honoring Steve Jobs for having opened a window

Steve Jobs passed away yesterday leaving behind a deed that is, and will be, multiplying worldwide.

He will probably be remembered as the co-founder of Apple which, from our standpoint, is unfair.

He is the person who introduced the user in the organization, giving true meaning to work. His search for transcendence, in the wide and not egotistic sense, allowed him to understand the needs of the community. He worked and organized the work to cover such needs.

See: http://unicist.net/engineering/aesthetics-is-the-core-of-steve-jobs-business-approach

Courage was, without doubt, his guide in everyday work. He had to face “Goliaths” being a “David” and also had to overcome the “yes but” and “no” that innovators have to deal with. The prices he had to pay were extremely high.

Apple was the vehicle for his innovations. It has to be considered that innovators without users have no added value. His creation allowed the integration of human beings with electronic devices.

He is the true creator of the “phenotype” of computers and adjacent devices, which are their interfaces. The “window” he opened will never close.

I would like to say “good bye” with two simple words:

Thank you…

Are ontogenetic maps necessary to design business models?

Business growth requires dealing with businesses as adaptive systems in order to be able to extend their boundaries.

Example of ontogenetic map for negociation design

Ontogenetic maps are a conceptual GPS to generate solutions in the field of businesses considered as human adaptive systems.

Ontogenetic maps describe the ontological algorithm of a function or the whole system. They describe the steps that have to be followed to influence businesses.

Ontogenetic maps are timeless and cross-cultural but their applicative content varies based on the available technologies and the characteristics of the environments.

The use of ontogenetic maps and their implicit unicist ontological algorithms is the input for business architecture making the building of a solid structure possible.

Business growth requires managing the ontogenetic map of the specific business and the ontogenetic map of economic growth.

Homology of the DNA of living beings and Unicist Ontologies

Genetic Map

The unicist ontology defines the ontogenetic map of an institution and is essentially analogous to the DNA of a living being. They both define the nature of the being, have an implicit purpose and materialize the action and the energy conservation principles.

Being aware of the unicist ontological structure that underlies and rules the behavior and evolution of an institution it is possible to define the taxonomies and action plans to ensure the functionality of an organization respecting its nature.

The difference between the DNA of different species is minimal although the physical difference might be enormous.

The same characteristic is given at the unicist ontological structure of institutions. Subtle differences generate different species.

That is why the accuracy of diagnoses of the conceptual structure of an institution is determinant. It defines its species and the possibilities and probabilities of its evolution.

Ontogenetic Maps for the genetic engineering of institutions

The Ontogenetic Map of IT Architecture

The functionality of algorithms is to provide a logical structure to understand and influence reality in a secure way. Following ontological algorithms an individual is respecting the rules of ontogenesis.

Algorithms describe and explain the natural functionality of a reality and establish the relationships of the objects that are part of such reality based on the ontogenesis of the evolution process.

They provide the natural way to influence institutions.

Using unicist ontologies to influence institutions implies dealing with the genetic engineering of the institution.

Therefore, the use of unicist technologies in institutions is based on “change without changing”.

That means introducing changes that respect their nature and do not try to change their essential concepts.

Lectures of the Unicist Scientific Dissemination Program

The objective of this program is to disseminate worldwide the use of the unicist ontological approaches to manage adaptive systems.

The R&D of complex adaptive systems belongs to the field of complexity science which was and is the field of Peter Belohlavek’s research.

He was the discoverer of the ontogenetic intelligence of nature, of the unicist ontology of evolution, human ontointelligence and multiple applications in the field of individual, institutional and social evolution.

Peter Belohlavek will be in charge of these lectures to give worldwide access to the main applicative unicist ontology based and object driven solutions developed using this approach.

The presentations are live 10-minute mini-lectures (Wednesdays 2:00 pm New York time) for guests, which will then be available on Youtube on the channel of The Unicist Research Institute:

Metaphors are figurative language to build consensus

The purpose of figurative communication is to achieve true consensus which means achieving a rational, emotional and conceptual consensus.

Achieving true consensus requires solving the conflicts which might be driven by interests, needs, beliefs, lack of knowledge, etc.

Metaphors are universal descriptions using analogous examples at a more general field that allow understanding the message that is being communicated.

Metaphors have only one functional interpretation that ensures that the communication is true. Metaphors are necessary to work with complex problems at an operational level.

The metaphors used by the extreme programming methodology show an example of their use. Metaphors focus on the operation of what is being communicated.
