The causal approach is based on four pillars: Unicist Binary Actions, Root Cause Scorecards, Causal Solution Rooms, and Root Cause Research Systems.

The Causal Solution Rooms were developed to address root causes. Managing root causes in business is essential for business growth, as it enables the development of strategy, automation, marketing, organization, innovation, process improvement, and the resolution of business issues.

Causal Solution Rooms

Causal Solution Rooms are a framework for managing business growth by addressing the root causes of business functionality. This approach is based on managing the causality inherent in processes to foster proactive growth. Managing the root causes of business functions is essential for managing business growth.

The Causal Solution Rooms include the use of the Root Cause Scorecard. While traditional KPIs and the Balanced Scorecard measure performance, which implies that they measure the consequences of actions, the Root Cause Scorecard measures the causes of performance, providing the necessary input for decision-making.

The active function of Causal Solution Rooms involves defining the functionalist principles that govern the functionality of growth processes. The energy conservation function focuses on developing Unicist Binary Actions. These actions define the operation, ensuring the achievement of results. Binary actions consist of two synchronous actions: one that expands possibilities and adds value, and another that ensures results.

To facilitate the development of these solutions, Causal Solution Rooms utilize a AI-driven Unicist Root Cause Research System. This system provides comprehensive information, solutions, and benchmarks that enhance the design process, offering support for development at every stage. The development of Unicist Destructive Tests ensures the accuracy of the solutions.

The Unicist Root Cause Approach

The Unicist Research Institute is one of the few organizations worldwide dedicated to researching the roots of causality in science and adaptive systems and environments, focusing on understanding their functionality, dynamics, and evolution. This group includes:

• Max Planck Institute
• Harvard Causal Inference Center
• Norwegian Causation in Science Project
• Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
• Santa Fe Institute
• Stanford Causal Science Center
• The Unicist Research Institute

The Unicist Causal Approach to business focuses on addressing the causality of business processes by managing their unified fields, as defined by their functionalist principles. This ensures both functionality and operationality through the application of unicist binary actions. By understanding the triadic structure inherent in these principles—purpose, active function, and energy conservation function—businesses can optimize activities, ensuring that causality and functionality are aligned with both objectives and methods.

The Unicist Research Institute (TURI), founded in 1976 by Peter Belohlavek, is a private pioneering global organization specializing in the research and management of adaptive systems and complex environments. It developed the Unicist Functionalist Approach to Science, which enables understanding and managing the functionality, dynamics, and evolution of systems in nature, business, economics, social sciences, and technology. You can access it at the Unicist Research Library.

Unicist Binary Actions Manage Root Causes

The Concept of Unicist Binary Actions

There are two essential characteristics of adaptive entities of any kind. 

1. Their functionality is based on functionalist principles, which are defined by a purpose, an active function, and an energy conservation function. This is the space where the root causes of the functionality of adaptive entities lie.
   Mathematics: Integration, reflecting the unified field’s conjunction, involves multiplying the values of fundamentals, where normality is expressed as 1. The unified field’s measurement excludes exclusive disjunctions. Over time, these zones adapt, either enhancing or diminishing in functionality due to intrinsic or environmental evolution.
   
2. All actions within and of adaptive entities are based on two synchronized actions:

• The first action is based on the purpose and the active function (UBAa).
• The second action is based on the purpose of the energy conservation function (UBAb).
  Mathematics: UBAa (Supplementary Function): The purpose is divided by the active function, creating a supplementary yet competitive relationship. This competition causes a reaction.

UBAb (Complementary Function): The energy conservation function is divided by the purpose, generating a positive value that complements the reaction.

These actions are called Unicist Binary Actions because they operate within a unified field:

• The first action opens possibilities by adding value, which generates a reaction.
• The second action addresses this reaction and produces results without generating further reactions.

The functionality of binary actions is driven by the rules of unicist ontogenetic logic, a double-dialectical logic that is universal in adaptive systems, whether living beings or artificial entities.

The double dialectic is nature’s way of ensuring that actions do not generate reactions that neutralize them.

Examples

Universal examples of binary actions in everyday life illustrate this principle:

Learning (UBAa) + Teaching (UBAb) = Knowledge acquisition
Efficacy (UBAa)  + Efficiency (UBAb) = Effectiveness
Empathy (UBAa)  + Sympathy (UBAb) = Influence building
Participation (UBAa)  + Non-exerted Power (UBAb) = Leadership
Desirability (UBAa)  + Harmony (UBAb) = Aesthetics

There are four types of Unicist Binary Actions 

1. UBA1): Catalyzing actions with gravitational force
2. UBA2): Maximal strategy actions
3. UBA3): Minimum strategy actions
4. UBA4) Essential actions 

Double Dialectical Actions

Unicist binary actions operate through double dialectical actions, where the dialectical relationships ensure sustainable solutions. There are two key relationships in this structure:

• The dialectic between Purpose and Active Function (Supplementation): The active function supports the purpose by generating dynamics and introducing variations that open new avenues for growth and innovation. This action supplements the purpose by pushing the system to new functional levels, ensuring the business remains agile and responsive to changes. It naturally generates a reaction that needs to be addressed.
• The dialectic between Purpose and Energy Conservation Function (Complementation): The energy conservation function ensures results by addressing the reaction and preserving the core functionality and sustainability of the system. It aligns closely with the purpose to prevent the active function from disrupting the system’s integrity. Complementation with the purpose ensures that the business remains viable, stable, and oriented towards achieving its objectives.

Application in Addressing Root Causes:

In business environments, unicist binary actions are essential for addressing the root causes of functional issues. By defining the underlying functionalist principles, these actions provide a framework for understanding adaptive problems and developing effective solutions. The double dialectical actions ensure comprehensive problem-solving by:

• Identifying and Expanding Possibilities: The active function identifies potential areas for improvement and innovation, creating pathways for new products, markets, or processes.
• Securing and Stabilizing Results: The energy conservation function focuses on complementing the reaction produced by the active function, delivering  the expected outcomes, standardizing processes, and maintaining quality to ensure sustainability.

Conclusion

Unicist binary actions represent a strategic approach to managing adaptive business environments, turning complex challenges into opportunities for growth and innovation. By employing a double dialectical approach, these actions provide a structured methodology for aligning business processes with functionalist principles and achieving sustainable results. 

UBA1: Catalyzing Binary Actions in Adaptive Systems

Unicist Binary Actions Type 1 (UBA1) are designed to catalyze processes within adaptive systems by addressing latent needs and leveraging the gravitational force in a given context. These actions are essential for initiating change and ensuring that new possibilities are effectively realized.

Catalyzing Actions (UBA1a)

UBA1a focuses on identifying and satisfying latent needs within the environment. These needs are often unarticulated but critical for fostering growth and adaptation. The catalyzing actions serve as entry points to introduce change, creating a momentum that propels the system toward achieving its intended purpose.

The primary goal of UBA1a is to unlock potential by making latent needs visible and actionable. These actions stimulate interest and demand within the environment, encouraging to embrace new ideas and solutions. By directly addressing the core needs that are not yet explicit, UBA1a catalyzes a shift in perspective, enabling the system to move beyond its current limitations. Nevertheless, they generate a reaction that needs to be addressed. 

Gravitational Force (UBA1b)

UBA1b complements the catalyzing actions by addressing the reactions produced by the catalyst and providing the necessary credibility and foundational support to ensure results. This gravitational force stems from established principles, proven methodologies, or credible leadership that reinforce the viability and effectiveness of the catalyzing actions.

UBA1b creates a stabilizing influence that grounds the transformative energy initiated by UBA1a. It acts as an anchor, aligning the new possibilities with the existing framework, thereby ensuring that the change process remains coherent and structured. This gravitational force amplifies trust and confidence among stakeholders, reducing resistance to change and facilitating smoother implementation.

Integrated Functionality of UBA1a and UBA1b

Together, UBA1a (catalyzing actions) and UBA1b (gravitational force) form a dual mechanism that opens possibilities while ensuring their realization. The interaction between the two ensures that while new pathways are explored, they are firmly rooted in credible, sustainable practices.

• Opening Possibilities: The catalyzing actions identify and activate latent needs, generating a forward momentum that opens up new avenues for growth and adaptation generating a reaction from the environment.
• Ensuring Results: The gravitational force provides the credibility and stability necessary to complement the reaction and turn these possibilities into tangible outcomes, ensuring that changes are not only initiated but also successfully integrated into the system.

By leveraging UBA1, organizations can effectively address the root causes of functional issues, introducing changes that resonate with the underlying needs of the environment. 

UBA2: Managing Maximal Strategies

Unicist Binary Actions Type 2 (UBA2) are tailored to manage the functionalist principles of maximal strategies in adaptive environments. These actions focus on creating and sustaining an expansive strategy that propels an organization toward growth while ensuring that potential reactions to the introduced value are effectively managed.

Expansive Binary Actions (UBA2a)

UBA2a is responsible for delivering differentiated value to the environment. This action pushes the boundaries of existing offerings by introducing unique value propositions that set an organization apart and create a marked competitive advantage. It’s about generating a compelling expansion that invites the environment to engage and respond positively.

The differentiated value here refers to the introduction of innovations, superior quality, or distinct features that make offerings more appealing. However, this expansion naturally leads to reactions, as the disruption caused can shift the balance within the environment. Stakeholders, competitors, or even internal structures may react to this change as they adjust to the new offering or dynamic.

Managing Reactions with Influential Actions (UBA2b)

UBA2b is constructed to handle the natural reactions generated by the expansive actions. It executes an influential action designed to transform these reactions into acceptance and alignment. This influence is crucial for converting potential resistance into collaboration or support.

Through strategic communication, relationship building, or shared incentives, UBA2b seeks to harmonize the expansion introduced by UBA2a with the existing environment, thereby minimizing friction. This allows the organization to transition seamlessly from a maximal strategy focused on growth to a minimum strategy focused on ensuring sustainability and results.

Integration of UBA2a and UBA2b

Together, UBA2a and UBA2b form a cohesive set of actions that balances the push for growth with the mechanisms needed to secure this growth. The sequence starts with UBA2a expanding opportunities and setting new benchmarks within the industry or environment. UBA2b follows by absorbing and reorienting any disruptive responses into positive engagement.

• Creating Competitive Advantage: UBA2a sets the stage for a competitive edge by delivering superior offerings generating a reaction from the environment.
• Ensuring Integration and Results: UBA2b utilizes influential dynamics to complement the reaction and guide the environment toward acceptance and results.

In effectively employing UBA2, organizations are equipped to pursue growth objectives without sacrificing the stability or cohesion of their operations. This approach is integral to a unicist ontological research process, embodying the principles of the unicist functionalist approach and enabling the successful navigation of complex, adaptive business environments. This dual-action mechanism ensures that maximal strategies are not only initiated but also established as sustainable elements within an organization’s strategic framework.

UBA3: Managing Minimum Strategies

Unicist Binary Actions Type 3 (UBA3) focus on ensuring that results are achieved in adaptive environments by addressing urgent needs grounded in the context established by the maximal strategy. These actions are essential for stabilizing new solutions and securing their effectiveness within the broader strategy framework.

Expanding the Solution Space (UBA3a)

UBA3a is dedicated to addressing an urgent problem by leveraging the asymmetric complementation facilitated by the maximal strategy. This complementation allows creating a solution space with sufficient critical mass to effectively tackle the problem. UBA3a engages with the most pressing dysfunctionality within the current environment, providing an immediate response that begins shifting the status quo.

Asymmetric complementation means that this step supplements the gaps or vulnerabilities exposed during the execution of the maximal strategy while not threatening the overarching value generated by it. This stage is characterized by a “yes but” reaction—a recognition that, while immediate problems are being addressed effectively, further actions may still be uncertain. 

Ensuring Reliability Through Trend Following

The actions of UBA3b focus on situating the solution within a broader framework of emerging trends. By aligning with prevailing trends, the solution is securely positioned within a familiar context that stakeholders can trust, even as it introduces new elements.

Following trends provide an implicit reassurance that the solution is not a radical departure but rather an evolution converging with expected or emerging patterns observed in the industry or society. This assurance offers a security framework that underpins the internalization and institutionalization of the new solution, offering an environment in which stakeholders feel secure enough to embrace changes.

Integration of UBA3a and UBA3b

Together, UBA3a and UBA3b form a set of unicist binary actions that guarantees the actionable resolution of urgent issues while ensuring the adopted solutions are reliable and sustainable within the adaptive environment.

• Addressing Urgent Needs: UBA3a creates the critical mass needed to manage dysfunctionality, effectively resolving the immediate concerns that pose a risk to the system’s operation. This action generates a reaction. 
• Securing Resilience: UBA3b enhances the solution’s reliability by complementing the reaction and leveraging existing trends to maintain confidence and minimize potential resistance.

UBL3’s actions—promptly addressing urgent dysfunctions and strategically aligning with trends—are vital for sustaining the desired changes initiated by maximal strategies. They ensure that short-term interventions stabilize long-term strategic moves, offering a comprehensive approach to adaptive environments. 

UBA4: The Essential Binary Actions

The Essential Unicist Binary Actions (UBA4) manage the unified field of an entity and serve as the keystone of strategic action in adaptive environments. This advanced integration effectively combines the catalytic, maximal, and minimum strategies to expand boundaries through differentiation, ensuring that actions achieve both immediate and sustainable impacts.

Maximal Strategy through Differentiation (UBA4a)

UBA4a focuses on the expansion of boundaries by introducing differentiation that provokes a reaction from the environment. This differentiation is achieved through the introduction of additional attributes or innovations that distinctly set a function, product, or organization apart. The enhanced value proposition seeks to redefine benchmarks within the environment, eliciting both interest and reactive response.

The provocation of a reaction is necessary, not intentional, as it generates both criticism and engagement among stakeholders by challenging the status quo and inviting the ecosystem to adapt to these new standards. This expansive approach is built on a foundation of innovation and uniqueness, which not only opens new possibilities but also stimulates growth by drawing attention to the newly established value.

Minimum Strategy for Complemenation (UBA4b)

UBA4b complements the expansive efforts of UBA4a by addressing the potential reactions through a structured minimum strategy. This action forms a complementary relationship that stabilizes the new initiatives, creating a critical mass essential for effective and sustained implementation.

The minimum strategy operates by aligning the differentiation with inherent trends within the environment. By integrating these trends into the broader strategy, UBA4b ensures that the approach does not appear temporary or conjunctural, but rather one that resonates deeply with existing and emerging patterns. This harmonization helps in securing a stable and credible position within the environment, fostering acceptance.

Managing Common Trends for Stability

To establish a non-conjunctural relationship, UBA4b leverages common trends that form the backbone of shared understanding among stakeholders. The effective management of these trends enables the creation of long-lasting associations, aligning innovative actions with the natural evolution of the environment.

By strategically embedding differentiation within these trends, UBA4 secures a supportive network that embraces the new attributes, thus creating a stable foundation for expanded reach and influence. This stability prevents the potential dispersal of efforts, ensuring that growth initiatives achieve the desired impact and sustain their presence over time.

Together, UBA4a and UBA4b integrate the actions of the catalyst, maximal, and minimum strategies, creating a cohesive framework for expanding boundaries and exploring new possibilities. This integration, part of a unicist ontological research process, embodies the principles of the unicist functionalist approach and provides organizations with a mechanism for managing  adaptive environments. 

The Root Cause Scorecard

Measuring the Causality of Adaptive Systems

The Root Cause Scorecard is a tool designed to measure the functionality of adaptive systems, including businesses, grounded in the unicist functionalist approach. It establishes a connection between database information and the management of root causes to ensure results by utilizing the ontogenetic maps of the functions being managed. 

The Causal Solution Rooms include the use of the Root Cause Scorecard. While traditional KPIs and the Balanced Scorecard measure performance, which implies that they measure the consequences of actions, the Root Cause Scorecard measures the causes of performance, providing the necessary input for decision-making.

Mathematically, it evaluates the functionality and credibility zones as fuzzy sets, where the certainty center is predefined as 1 (one). The fuzzy zone spans 25% above and below this center. A 9-level scale is employed to quantify the functionality of each fundamental and their integration.

Integration, reflecting the unified field’s conjunction, involves multiplying the values of fundamentals, where normality is expressed as 1. The unified field’s measurement excludes exclusive disjunctions. Over time, these zones adapt, either enhancing or diminishing in functionality due to environmental evolution. 

Unicist binary actions are assessed through division, correlating the purpose with both the active and energy conservation functions. The results are then integrated by multiplying respective outcomes.

While uncist ontogenetic logic underpins conjunctions in functionalist principles, the unicist epistemology of division validates the functionality measurement of unicist binary actions. This methodology is vital for understanding the dynamic operation and evolution of adaptive systems, ensuring that the processes and results align with the intended purpose and context. 

Functionality of the Root Cause Scorecard

The Root Cause Scorecard is a comprehensive measurement tool, designed leveraging the ontogenetic maps of business functions. It serves as a monitoring system that confirms the functionality of all necessary elements within a process. By employing the purpose, active function, and energy conservation function of each business component, this scorecard precisely measures their functionality.

At the core, the ontogenetic maps offer a structural blueprint, outlining interrelationships of business functions and their underpinning principles, which ensure that each function operates optimally in fulfilling its defined purpose. The functionality is further analyzed through unicist binary actions, which explicitly address root causes by orchestrating the necessary operations to guarantee results.

These binary actions are analyzed via two critical relationships:

• Purpose and Active Function: This relationship is governed by the supplementation law, where the active function supports the overall purpose by expanding possibilities and adding value.
• Purpose and Energy Conservation Function: Governed by the complementation law, this relationship manages the balance and stability by ensuring energy preservation and preventing overextension.

By evaluating these relationships, the Root Cause Scorecard provides a dynamic interface that correlates data-driven insights with real-world performance, allowing the organization to track and adapt strategies effectively. The scorecard ensures all business functions align with the strategic objectives, fostering an environment of adaptability and functional efficiency. Ultimately, it achieves this by integrating the structured insights from ontogenetic maps with empirical data, ensuring the solutions not only meet but also adapt to evolving business challenges.

Detailed Analysis of the Functionality of the Root Cause Scorecard

The Root Cause Scorecard is a measurement system designed to assess the functionality of adaptive systems, including business, economic, and social environments. Unlike traditional scorecards that rely on static metrics, the Root Cause Scorecard is function-driven, integrating ontogenetic maps and unicist ontogenetic logic to measure functionality and credibility zones dynamically.

1. Core Principles of the Root Cause Scorecard

1.1. Measurement Based on Ontogenetic Maps

The ontogenetic map of a function defines its essential structure, mapping how its components interact dynamically to ensure functionality.
The Root Cause Scorecard connects data-driven metrics with functional root cause analysis, ensuring that measured values correlate with real-world performance rather than isolated statistics.

Instead of relying on cause-effect relationships, the Root Cause Scorecard measures how the functionality of a system evolves, integrating emergent behaviors in adaptive environments.

1.2. Fuzzy Measurement of Functionality & Credibility Zones

Functionality is measured as a fuzzy set between 1 and 0, where certainty is centered at 1 and has a ±25% range, defining a credibility zone.
The fuzzy logic model ensures that measurements account for the uncertainty of real-world adaptation, meaning:

• A value of 1 represents optimal functionality.
• A range of ±0.25 allows for functional variability without system dysfunctionality.
• Values below 0.75 or above 1.25 indicate dysfunctionality or loss of credibility.

This approach makes the Scorecard adaptive, recognizing that in dynamic environments, absolute certainty is unattainable, and only relative credibility and performance trends matter.

1.3. 9-Level Functional Scale

A 9-level scale is used to assess:

• Each fundamental functions interdependently.
• The integration of the entire system.

This method prevents false precision, ensuring that measurements reflect degrees of adaptation rather than fixed thresholds.

2. The Structure of the Root Cause Scorecard

2.1. The Unified Field as a Conjunction

The Scorecard assumes that the integration of the unified field follows a conjunctive structure:

• Each fundamental function contributes multiplicatively, meaning that if any function is zero, the entire system fails.
• This ensures that dysfunction in one area is not “palliated” by strength in another—instead, all fundamentals must work together.

The Root Cause Scorecard manages root causes, therefore, it does not allow trade-offs between fundamental functions—all must be operational for the system to function properly.

2.2. Evolution & Degradation Over Time

Since the functionality of systems evolves dynamically, the Scorecard incorporates a time factor to track:

• Whether the system is adapting positively (increasing functionality).
• Whether the system is degrading due to entropy or environmental changes.

The Scorecard can be used for predictive diagnostics, allowing proactive adjustments before full degradation occurs.

3. The Role of Unicist Binary Actions in Measurement

3.1. Division as a Measurement Tool

Unicist Binary Actions (UBAs) are paired synchronized actions that drive adaptive functionality:

• Action 1: Relationship between Purpose & Active Function (Opening Possibilities through Value Generation).
• Action 2: Relationship between Purpose & Energy Conservation Function (Results Assurance).

The Root Cause Scorecard measures these UBAs using division:

• If both actions are proportionate, the ratio remains within the credibility zone.
• If the ratio is unbalanced, it signals functional misalignment.

Division quantifies the degree of functional integration of each binary actions , ensuring that both value creation and results assurance are integrated.

3.2. Multiplication as a Systemic Integration Tool

Once individual UBAs are measured, their values are multiplied to define the overall system consistency:

This ensures that:

• The unicist binary actions are functional.
• No action is outside the functionality and credibility zone.

This structure prevents dysfunctionality and ensures that each measured action contributes to the adaptive unified field of the system.

4. Validation Through the Unicist Epistemology of Division

The Root Cause Scorecard’s mathematical foundation required the development of a Unicist Epistemology of Division to confirm its validity.
This epistemology formalized the role of division in measuring unicist binary actions 

Division in the Scorecard is not a conventional arithmetic tool—it is a functional measurement principle that validates the integration of adaptive actions within a unified system.

5. The Value of the Root Cause Scorecard

The Unicist Scorecard is not just a reporting tool—it is a functional navigation system that allows organizations, economic environments, and social systems to ensure adaptive evolution based on functionalist principles.

The Management of Unicist Binary Actions in the Root Cause Scorecard

The management of causality requires the integration of the indicators of UBAa) and UBAb), the two synchronized binary actions that make adaptive entities work, to address causality while ensuring results. They can only be analyzed using an integration of the unicist binary actions, which implies the multiplication of their indicators. One of the few examples is the original DuPont index. The evolution of the DuPont index changed the approach and abandoned the intention of explaining causality.

Unicist Functionalist Approach and Root Cause Scorecard

In the realm of adaptive systems management, understanding causality is paramount for ensuring results. The unicist functionalist approach utilizes the Root Cause Scorecard to manage causality by integrating Unicist Binary Actions (UBAs). These actions manage adaptive functionality through synchronized operations.

Unicist Binary Actions (UBAs):

• UBAa (Value Generation): This indicator represents the active function’s role in expanding possibilities and generating value. It is tasked with the proactive aspects of a process, driving growth, opening possibilities, and generating a reaction from the environment .
• UBAb (Energy Conservation): This indicator reflects the energy conservation function’s role in ensuring results. It addresses the reactive actions of the environment to ensure results.

Integration of UBAs:

The integration of UBAa and UBAb is essential for understanding and managing causality in adaptive systems. This integration occurs through:

• Multiplicative Integration: The indicators of UBAa and UBAb are multiplied. This indicates that the effectiveness of the adaptive system depends on the congruent functioning of both actions. If either action fails or operates outside its functionality or credibility zone, it compromises the overall system efficacy, mirroring the systemic interdependence crucial in adaptive environments.

Case Study: The Original DuPont Index

The DuPont Index, as a historic example, demonstrates how multiplicative integration can elucidate causal relationships. Initially, it deconstructed ROI into component factors (profit margin, asset turnover, equity multiplier) to reveal the underlying drivers of financial performance. By employing a multiplicative approach, it provided a causal view of financial functionality.

Evolution of DuPont Index

Over time, the evolution of the DuPont Index shifted towards a segmented view, emphasizing individual component metrics over interrelated causal analysis. This shift bypassed the original intent of integration to uncover causal functionality.

Role of the Root Cause Scorecard

The Root Cause Scorecard continues this tradition of causal analysis through the unicist approach, utilizing:

• Fuzzy Measurement: It employs a fuzzy logic framework that recognizes the variability in adaptive environments. The measurements are a fuzzy set around a certainty center, with functionality scored on a 9-level scale to assess each fundamental action and their causal conjunctions.
• Causal Validation: Division is used as a measurement tool to ensure the functionality  of UBAs. This maintains the balance required for causality analysis, ensuring that value generation and results assurance are functionally integrated. 

Unicist Epistemology of Division

The development of the Unicist Epistemology of Division, developed by Peter Belohlavek at The Unicist Research Institute, underpins the mathematical application within the scorecard. It shows how division can validate the functional integration of UBAs which ensures operational coherence and the fulfillment of objectives.

Through this detail-oriented integration model within the Root Cause Scorecard, the functional adaptation of entities is actively promoted. It employs the conjunction of UBAa and UBAb, reaffirming that successful causality management in adaptive systems demands comprehensive interconnection rather than isolated performance measures. This enables deep insights into process dynamics, ensuring organizations apply interventions that are not only effective but inherently aligned with their strategic intents, confirmed by unicist destructive tests.

Unicist Causal Solution Rooms

The Unicist Causal Solution Rooms are designed to provide structured solutions that manage the root causes of business problems by assembling ad hoc teams comprising individuals with relevant expertise. They focus on understanding and managing the root causes of issues using symptoms and signs as input to ensure sustainable solution development.

They complement data-based systems with a root cause management approach. Managing root causes is essential for expansion, strategy building, innovation, automation, process improvement, and problem-solving in business, but it is not necessary for carrying out operational and administrative tasks.

These rooms aim to develop structural solutions based on teamwork. The teams consist of a coordinator who leads the initiative, an ombudsman who ensures results, and a fallacy shooter who designs and monitors the destructive tests.

The Mathematics of Adaptive Systems

The mathematics of adaptive systems enables developing the Root Cause Scorecards. The management of adaptive systems requires addressing their triadic structure using a double dialectical approach, which demands the use of different types of mathematics: one for managing complementation, another for managing supplementation, and a third—conjunctive mathematics—for integrating them.

Conjunctive mathematics manages the concepts of fuzzy sets, defining truth values between 0 and 1. This is materialized in root cause scorecards, where both functionalist principles and unicist binary actions are measured to confirm their functionality.

This mathematical approach makes it evident that adaptive systems do not exhibit butterfly effects. The entry or exclusion of an intrinsic or extrinsic function from a functionality or credibility zone is typically the result of a small action that produces absolute consequences, shifting from yes to no or vice versa.

Ultimately, this mathematical approach bridges the gap between operational and analytical data and the root causes of functionality in adaptive systems.

The Solution Building Process

The solution-building process involves several key stages:

• Definition of Unicist Binary Actions: This initial stage focuses on accessing the functionalist principles of business functions to define binary actions. These binary actions involve two synchronized activities: one that opens possibilities by adding value, and another that ensures the achievement of results.
• Defining the Root Cause Scorecard: A scorecard is developed to measure the functionality of business functions based on their binary actions. This allows for the quantitative assessment of their efficacy, efficiency, and effectiveness. within defined functionality and credibility zones.
• Monitoring Functionality with Data-based Systems: The functionality of processes is continuously monitored using data-based systems. This real-time feedback loop ensures that adaptive systems operate efficiently and remain aligned with set objectives.
• Redesigning Binary Actions: Based on the feedback from data-based systems, binary actions are redesigned when necessary. This iterative process aligns binary actions with the evolving business environment and ensures that structural solutions remain effective over time.
• The Use of Expert Systems with AI: Through the combination of Generative AI and Unicist AI, Unicist Solution Rooms become adept at managing the causality of processes, ensuring that solutions are not only effective in the short term but lay a foundation for long-term success.
• The Implementation of Destructive Tests: The use of Unicist Destructive Tests, which define the limits of the functionality of the causal approach, validates the solutions developed.

Unicist Causal Solution Rooms operate within the framework of a unicist root cause approach. This methodology ensures that problems are not only resolved but that their underlying causes are understood and addressed, leading to sustainable, structural improvements in organizational functions. Through this comprehensive approach, these rooms provide organizations with the ability to adapt, innovate, and continuously improve their operations in adaptive environments.

Process of Defining Unicist Binary Actions for Business Functions

The process of defining the Unicist Binary Actions for business functions involves a systematic approach that leverages the unicist functionalist principles to achieve effective and adaptive outcomes. These actions are crafted to ensure both the expansion of possibilities and the achievement of results through synchronized activities. Here’s how this process unfolds:

• Accessing Functionalist Principles: Begin by identifying the functionalist principles that underlie the specific business function. This involves understanding the triadic structure consisting of a purpose, an active function to expand possibilities, and an energy conservation function to ensure stability. Grasping these principles is essential as they form the foundation for developing appropriate actions.
• Identifying the Purpose: Clearly define the purpose of the business function. The purpose acts as the guiding star, ensuring that all subsequent actions are aligned with the overarching objective.
• Designing Supplementary Actions (Active Function): Formulate the supplementary action that expands possibilities by adding value. This action is driven by the active function and is crucial for nurturing growth and generating opportunities. It introduces the dynamics and variability needed to propel the entity towards enhanced functionality.
• Defining Complementary Actions (Energy Conservation Function): Establish the complementary action aimed at ensuring results. This action plays a stabilizing role by maintaining coherence with the purpose, driven by the energy conservation function. It ensures that the core functionality is preserved, results are achieved, and the system remains sustainable.
• Synthesizing Binary Actions: Integrate both actions into a coherent set of unicist binary actions. This synthesis ensures that both actions work in harmony, addressing the dialectical relationship between the purpose and active function (supplementation), as well as the purpose and energy conservation function (complementation).
• Implementing and Testing: Apply these binary actions within the business environment, monitoring their effectiveness and adaptability. Employ unicist destructive tests to validate the integrity and functionality of the actions, ensuring they produce the desired outcomes.

By ensuring that both actions are synchronized and aligned with functionalist principles, businesses can achieve sustained success across dynamic scenarios.

Defining the Root Cause Scorecard for Business Functions Measurement

The process of defining the Root Cause Scorecard focused on measuring the functionality of business functions through unicist binary actions is essential for ensuring adaptive systemic efficiency. Here’s how this process unfolds:

• Identification of Binary Actions: Begin by identifying the unicist binary actions relevant to the business function. These include two synchronized actions—one aimed at expanding possibilities (through value generation) and the other at ensuring results (through energy conservation).
• Accessing Functionalist Principles: Employ the unicist functionalist principles to understand the triadic structure of the business function: its purpose, active function, and energy conservation function. This knowledge forms the backbone for structuring the scorecard.
• Development of the Fuzzy Measurement Scale: Construct a 9-level fuzzy measurement scale that gauges the functionality and credibility zones as a fuzzy set. The optimal functionality is centered at 1, with an allowance of ±25% variation. Values within this range reflect normal functionality, while deviations suggest potential dysfunctionality or absence of credibility.
• Conjunction of Fundamental Values: Integrate each fundamental’s contribution by formulating the conjunction structure of the unified field. Each element is multiplied, ensuring no isolated element can compensate for the deficiency of another. The entire system’s functionality requires all fundamentals to be operational.
• Assignment of Values: Assign specific value ranges to each binary action pair, using division as the principle for measuring the balanced integration of purpose and actions. The ratio of these calculations determines alignment within the functionality or credibility zone.
• Incorporation of the Feedback Mechanism: Integrate a feedback system from data-based processes, monitoring the ongoing efficiency and evolution of the functionality. This continuous assessment fosters adaptability to environmental changes.

By employing this process, the Root Cause Scorecard serves as a dynamic mechanism that aligns organization operations with adaptive functionality principles. It ensures that the business functions measured reflect both immediate operational needs and long-term strategic objectives, validated through unicist destructive tests to confirm efficacy.

Integration of Traditional Data into Binary Actions Systems for Process Monitoring

The integration of traditional company data into a binary actions system facilitates comprehensive monitoring of process functionality. This approach builds upon existing IT infrastructure, incorporating the Root Cause Scorecard to align data with functionalist principles and ensure effective process management. Here is how this integration unfolds:

• Assessment of Existing IT Systems: Begin by evaluating the current IT systems to identify all relevant data sources, including ERP, CRM, and other specialized platforms. This assessment determines the data streams crucial for reflecting business operations and highlights the data necessary for analyzing process functionality.
• Installation of the Root Cause Scorecard System: Deploy the Root Cause Scorecard system, which is designed to complement existing IT infrastructures. The scorecard system serves as a central analytical tool that connects data-driven insights with the functional structure of business operations, ensuring a seamless interface between traditional data and functional monitoring.
• Data Integration Layer: Establish a data integration layer that channels relevant information from the existing IT systems into the Unicist Scorecard.

Root Cause Management

Introduction to Unicist Root Cause Management

Unicist Root Cause Management is an approach designed to identify and address the root causes of an entity’s functionality, ultimately simplifying and optimizing its operation. This management method is grounded in utilizing abductive reasoning, an approach popularized by Charles S. Peirce, which surpasses traditional analytical methods by focusing on functionality rather than merely the operation of processes. Analytical methods, while useful for operational aspects, fall short when it comes to discerning the root causes that drive functionality.

Central to this approach is the synergy between Peirce’s intuitive abductive reasoning and the Unicist Ontogenetic Logic developed by Peter Belohlavek. This combination allows for comprehensive management of the functionality, dynamics, and evolution of adaptive systems—both living beings and artificial entities. Such systems are characterized by their ability to adapt and evolve, a feature that Unicist Root Cause Management addresses.

The Unicist Functionalist Approach signifies a transformative stage in understanding adaptive environments, evidenced across various domains, including the functionality of atoms, biology, chemistry, human intelligence, social evolution, economics, and business functions.

Managing the Unified Field
To manage the unified field of adaptive entities, one must grasp the interplay of these functionalist components. This involves understanding the conceptual structure using the ontogenetic map, emulating operational models, identifying feasible strategies, and validating them with unicist destructive tests. These tests rigorously confirm the functionality of proposed solutions under real-world conditions, ensuring reliability.

By applying this structured approach, decision-makers can influence the system’s functionality and achieve desired results, capitalizing on the adaptive nature of the entity. The Unicist Approach ensures strategies are both strategic and operational, fitting the complex, fast-paced realities of contemporary environments, and highlights the importance of understanding underlying principles for effective management. This approach embodies the Unicist Functionalist Approach, mirroring how nature adapts and evolves systematically.

Managing Ontogenetic Maps of the Unified Field of Entities

The management of ontogenetic maps in the unified field of entities involves understanding and utilizing the intrinsic and extrinsic functionality of adaptive systems to achieve desired results. These maps articulate the core structure that defines the purpose, function, and conservation necessary for the functionality of adaptive systems.

Intrinsic and Extrinsic Maps
Ontogenetic maps delineate both intrinsic and extrinsic functionalities. Intrinsic maps focus on the timeless and cross-cultural essence of an entity’s functions, independent of context, while extrinsic maps are culturally and contextually dependent, aligning with the specific credibility zone of an entity.

Purpose, Function, and Structure
The essence of an entity is captured in the essential concept within the map, defining its purpose. This purpose is operationalized through the active function, which outlines the entity’s roles and processes geared toward achieving the purpose, and the energy conservation function, which stabilizes operations and ensures sustainable functionality.

Unified Field Management
To manage the unified field, it requires integrating these functional components using the unicist ontogenetic logic, based on a double dialectical approach. This involves articulating the purpose, active function, and energy conservation function in harmony with each other, ensuring that actions across these areas are cohesively aligned.

Application through Unicist Ontogenetic Logic
The logic highlights a structured pathway for emulating operational models and strategies that affect the adaptive systems’ functionality. It enables an integrated understanding of the interactions within a system and offers insights into influencing and optimizing the system’s evolution.

Interpretation and Implementation
Employing the unicist standard language facilitates the interpretation and design of effective strategies to navigate and influence adaptive systems. The interpretation is guided by the nine laws of adaptive systems, which articulate the dynamic interrelations and behaviors within the maps.

Practical Applications
Ensuring functionality within adaptive entities requires assessing an entity’s ontogenetic map to recognize its evolution and viability potential. This understanding enables crafting adaptable strategies that align with foundational principles of adaptive systems, enhancing overall effectiveness and sustainability.

Through these methods, managing ontogenetic maps becomes a powerful tool for understanding and optimizing the functionality of entities within their distinct adaptive environments.

The Root Cause Approach to Marketing

The Unicist Root Cause Approach to Marketing is a strategic framework that utilizes the principles of the unicist ontology to enhance marketing effectiveness by understanding and influencing the root causes of buying decisions. It is based on defining the functionality and causality of marketing processes, aligning business strategies with the underlying concepts held by potential buyers.

At its core, the approach asserts that human actions, including purchasing decisions, are driven by the concepts people hold in their minds. These concepts dictate how individuals perceive, interpret, and engage with the marketplace, forming their comfort zones. Understanding these zones is essential, as buying decisions occur within them. The Causal Approach to Marketing thus emphasizes the necessity to respect and work within these comfort zones while addressing the underlying concepts that shape buying arguments.

Key components of the unicist causal approach include:

• Functionality and Causality: The approach uses the unicist ontology to explore the functionality of marketing tactics and the causality of consumer behaviors, bridging the gap between what customers do and why they do it.
• Comfort Zone Segmentation: It employs a comfort zone segmentation model to categorize buyers based on shared conceptual frameworks and comfort zones, allowing marketers to tailor their strategies to resonate deeply with target audiences.

The first action aligns with potential buyers’ comfort zones, and the second addresses the conceptual understanding of the product or service, ensuring a balance between opening opportunities and securing results.
• Catalysts and Subliminal Communication: Marketing actions are designed to leverage catalysts, using subliminal communication below the conscious level to open possibilities, followed by high-impact communication to influence final decisions.
• Structural Product Characteristics: Products are classified by their use value into accessory, hygienic, value-adding, and innovative, guiding the strategic focus in line with customer motivations and expectations.
• Causal Distribution and Advertising Models: Tailored distribution models align with buying habits, and causal communication strategies integrate subliminal and high-impact elements to enhance market penetration.

The Unicist Causal Approach to Marketing enables a deeper connection between businesses and consumers, enhancing marketing effectiveness by focusing on the functionalist principles that drive consumer behavior. This approach leads to improved strategic alignment, refined customer insights, and a stronger competitive edge, as validated through the ongoing unicist ontological research process.

The Root Cause Approach to Business Organization

An object-driven organization is structured to manage the root causes of business functions as adaptive systems through the strategic use of various types of business objects. The Unicist Object-Driven Organization manages the causality of business functions through the strategic deployment of business objects to structure processes as adaptive systems. This model ensures operational alignment with organizational objectives by addressing the functionalist principles of purpose, active function, and energy conservation function.

Functionality and Operation:

1. Driving Objects: Driving objects are designed to propel processes towards achieving their strategic objectives. Their primary role is to maintain momentum, ensuring that operations align with the organizational purpose and continue moving toward envisioned outcomes. By facilitating progress, they help manage the dynamic aspect of causality in organizational processes.

2. Catalyzing Objects: Catalyzing objects accelerate processes, acting as facilitators in dynamic environments where rapid adaptation is crucial. They promote agility within the organization, enabling swift reactions to changes and enhancing the system’s overall responsiveness to external stimuli or strategic shifts.

3. Entropy-Inhibiting Objects: These objects are critical in maintaining order and stability within the organization by curtailing the natural tendency of processes to deteriorate into disorder. They ensure the effective conservation of energy within systems, supporting long-term sustainability and efficiency in business operations by safeguarding consistency and reliability.

4. Inhibiting Objects: Inhibiting objects serve as safeguards to preclude dysfunctional events, thereby maintaining the integrity and reliability of business processes. They prevent adverse outcomes that may disrupt operations or deviate from the organizational strategy, thereby aligning with the causality of maintaining a secure operational environment.

5. Gravitational Objects: Gravitational objects provide a stabilizing influence by aligning the organization’s activities with its core strategic vision and goals. They exert a pulling force that guides processes and efforts, ensuring coherence and focus across the organization, harmonizing functional efforts to achieve holistic strategic objectives.

Management Approach:

Unified Field Management: Object-driven organizations manage the unified field of processes by integrating these various objects into a cohesive operational strategy. This involves:

• Developing taxonomic procedures that outline the organization of processes and the interaction of objects.
• Ensuring a shared vision that acts as a catalyst for achieving the minimal strategy, reinforcing that all efforts are consistent with strategic imperatives.

Strategic Planning: The strategic planning process involves:

• Designing a maximal strategy based on defining objectives and aligning processes using objects that contribute towards these goals.
• Establishing a minimum strategy that relies on the systematic use and reuse of objects through methodic procedures to maintain functionality and adaptability.

Adaptation and Validation: Organizations implement rigorous testing, including unicist destructive tests and pilot testing, to adapt to changing conditions and validate the effectiveness of deployed objects. This ensures that the organization can handle extreme situations where objects alone may not resolve emerging challenges automatically.

Segments of Object-Driven Organizations: Each segment, whether it be function-driven, objective-driven, consensus-driven, or market-driven, employs these objects according to its distinct focus—be it functionality, bottom-up goal setting, consensus building, or market alignment—ensuring that the organization remains dynamic and robust in adapting to its environment.

By harnessing the differentiated functions of business objects, object-driven organizations adeptly manage the causality of their adaptive processes, achieving strategic coherence, enhancing resilience, and maintaining alignment with the ever-evolving business landscape. This sophisticated model emphasizes a functionalist approach that fosters institutional stability while promoting the evolution and effectiveness of its members.

The Root Cause Approach to IT Design

Unicist conceptual design manages the root-causes of problems and the root-drivers of solutions. It becomes necessary to ensure results in adaptive environments by managing the fundamentals of the solutions, defining the necessary functions that are integrated as a unified field and ending with the definition of a dynamic process architecture.

Unicist concepts and fundamentals define the root-causes of problems and are the root-drivers of solutions. They allow defining what is possible to be achieved and developing the maximal and minimum strategic actions and business objects to make it happen.

The development of processes, projects, systems, and solutions in adaptive environments requires managing the concepts involved to ensure the results to be obtained. The conceptual design ensures the functionality of a solution.

This process includes the definition of roles, business objects and maximal and minimum synchronic actions to ensure the achievement of results.

The unicist approach to human behavior is based on the fact that human actions are driven by the concepts they have. Therefore, any time an individual becomes influenced, the “Conceptual Short-Term Memory” (CSTM) becomes activated to apprehend the “gist” of the message.

The purpose of conceptual design is to define the process architecture of the solution. To make this solution possible, it is necessary to be able to emulate it in mind.

Emulating in mind requires envisioning the final picture of the process and the results that will be achieved. This requires having the knowledge of the fundamentals of the process and a solution thinking approach that allows building the solution.

The emulation of the solution becomes possible if the conceptual knowledge of the solution is available.

The conceptual knowledge requires managing the ontogenetic map that defines the functionality of the concept that drives the solution.

Thus conceptual design implies integrating the emulation of the solution and the conceptual knowledge of the process to build the process architecture.

The Basics of the Unicist Conceptual Design

A) Conceptual design requires knowing the concepts involved in a function and/or process.

B) These concepts are defined by the unicist ontology of the functions that define their nature.

C) The Unicist Conceptual Design Technology provides the unicist ontological structures of the concepts of a function and/or process and uses the information of the input to develop the conceptual design of the solution.

Unicist IT Architecture

The ontology of the functionalist IT architecture is based on the integration of the elements that are included in software building.

The purpose of IT architecture is to fulfill the mission of the system that is being built. The mission implies following a concept and generating an added value, having an adequate quality assurance that makes the mission reliable.

When the concept is not shared, there is no possibility to develop a structural solution for a system. The concept represents the vision of the activity of the system and needs to be apprehended taking the necessary time to do so.

The active function, which defines the aesthetics of the system, is given by the information that is managed by the system. It needs to be based on the true “business model” because it has to satisfy its needs.

The business model is provided by the business architectural approach. The information must include adaptive aspects to manage the feedback from the environment and administrative aspects to ensure the operation and control.

The energy conservation function is defined by the technology that sustains its solidity and is integrated by software, hardware, and peopleware.

Synthesis

Functional IT Architecture includes the use of software objects to build a system that has the capacity to adapt to the environment reusing the designed objects and just changing the processes in which they are immersed.

The design of the objects needs to be in accordance with the characteristics of the adaptive aspects of the system and the possibilities defined by the available technology. This approach allows simplifying the processes and minimizing maintenance costs.

The Root Cause Approach to Problem Solving

The Unicist Approach to managing root causes in problem-solving utilizes unicist ontological reverse engineering to uncover the functionalist structures and root causes of problems. This approach provides a deep understanding of the dynamics of adaptive systems by analyzing the binary actions executed within these systems and their alignment with the system’s functionalist principles.

Unicist Ontological Reverse Engineering

1. Observational Analysis: Problem-solving begins with an in-depth analysis of the operational facts and events in the environment. This observation focuses on identifying the triggering factors and manifestations of problems.

2. Identification of Binary Actions: Within adaptive systems, binary actions are two interdependent actions aimed at expanding possibilities and securing outcomes. These actions provide clues to the underlying functionalist principles in play. Problem-solving requires identifying these actions to determine their effectiveness and alignment with the overarching purpose.

Using a Backward Chaining Thinking Approach

Unicist ontological reverse engineering involves backward chaining thinking to unveil functionalist principles underlying binary actions, revealing the root causes of functionality. This process starts with observable outcomes or actions, tracing back to identify the active function.

By applying the supplementation law, it deduces the purpose. Then, it identifies the energy conservation function through the complementation law. This triadic structure clarifies binary actions’ interrelationships, initiating recycling via tests till accurate functional understanding is achieved. This process is validated through unicist destructive tests and feedback analysis in analogous contexts.

Analyzing Functionalist Structures

3. Purpose-Driven Analysis: Using the guidance of unicist ontology, problem-solving involves identifying the purpose of the system or process in question. This defines the intended outcomes and frames investigations into how the current state deviates from these objectives.

4. Active Function Identification: The active function represents the processes and activities deployed to achieve the defined purpose. By reverse-engineering from observed binary actions, analysts delineate this function and examine its consistency and contribution to the purpose.

5. Energy Conservation Function Analysis: This function stabilizes and sustains the system’s operations. Reverse engineering uses energy conservation principles to determine if resources and activities are aligned with long-term objectives, assessing their impact on potential deviations.

Root Cause Identification

6. Triggering, Necessary, and Limit Causes: The analysis identifies triggering causes that directly manifest issues, necessary causes rooted deep within systemic operations, and limit causes defining the constraints within which solutions can be effective.

• Triggering Causes: Immediate factors explaining symptoms.
• Necessary Causes: Fundamental issues at the core.
• Limit Causes: Constraints setting boundaries for feasible solutions.

Conclusion and Implementation

7. Developing Adaptive Solutions: Reverse engineering not only identifies root causes but also informs the development of adaptive solutions. These solutions harmonize discovered causes with the functionalist principles identified through analysis.

8. Application of Constructive and Destructive Testing: Solutions are validated using unicist constructive and destructive tests. Constructive testing helps refine solutions against real-world variables while destructive testing confirms resilience by testing solutions against extreme or stress conditions.

9. Deployment of Binary Actions and Business Objects: Finally, effective resolution involves deploying revised or new binary actions and integrating suitable business objects (driving, catalyzing, gravitational, inhibiting, and entropy-inhibiting) to ensure the adaptability and sustainability of solutions.

Through this structured, causality-oriented technique, the Unicist Approach enables problem solvers to resolve problems not just symptomatically but fundamentally, ensuring long-term efficacy and adaptability within complex environments.

This intersection of causality, practicality, and reliability creates a robust framework that addresses and adapts to the complexities of the real world.

The Unicist Approach to the Causality of Adaptive Systems

The functionality of things explains their causality, and addressing functionality inherently means accessing the causality of those things. This principle highlights the intrinsic relationship between what something does (functionality) and why it works (causality).

Functionality implies Causality and Vice-versa

In the unicist functionalist approach, functionality inherently denotes causality, indicating a reciprocal relationship where each underpins the other. Functionality defines the underlying purposes, active functions, and energy conservation functions that drive an entity’s existence and actions. This framework reveals the causality, clarifying why these actions are implemented and how they achieve the intended objectives.

Conversely, understanding the causality within an entity or system allows for a deeper comprehension of its functionality, revealing the elemental drivers of its operations. This duality ensures that actions align with the core mission, facilitating consistent adaptability and effectiveness.

Operational insights are derived from this interplay, marked by binary actions that encompass supplementation and complementation.  

The Unicist Ontogenetic Logic Establishes the Causal Relationships

The discovery of the unicist ontogenetic logic enabled the definition of things based on their functionality. The unicist logical structure of any adaptive system drives its functionality, dynamics, and evolution. This marked a new era where the management of causality became feasible, which is crucial for any proactive endeavor prioritizing results, such as strategy, governmental actions, management, and structural problem-solving of any kind..

The unicist ontogenetic logic lays the groundwork for the unicist ontology, establishing the structural basis of the unicist functionalist principles. These principles are pivotal in defining both the functionality and causality of adaptive systems and environments. At the core of these principles is the triadic structure comprising a purpose, an active function, and an energy conservation function, which together explain how systems operate and adapt.

The unicist ontology uses this triadic model to lay out adaptive systems’ essential dynamics. The purpose acts as the driving force, the active function introduces dynamism, and the energy conservation function guarantees stability. This framework integrates the laws of supplementation and complementation, which dictate the interactions among these elements. Supplementation involves the active function enhancing the purpose, while complementation involves the energy conservation function stabilizing the system’s core functionalities.

The causality of operations emerges from this structured interaction, evident in the unicist binary actions. These actions, implicit in functionalist principles, ensure system adaptability and sustainability by simultaneously opening new possibilities and consolidating achieved goals. This synchronicity is vital for effective strategy, management, and problem-solving.

Unicist destructive tests confirm the reliability of these principles and actions, ensuring they operation.

Functionality Underlies and Precedes Operationality

In the unicist functionalist approach, functionality is the foundation upon which operationality is built. Functionality defines why and how something works, characterized by the triadic structure of a purpose, an active function, and an energy conservation function. This structure ensures adaptability and coherence with the environment, dictating how entities interact and evolve.

Functionality precedes operationality because it provides the causal framework that guides operations. It determines the conditions required for effective execution and adaptation. Operationality, on the other hand, is the manifestation of functionality through specific actions and processes, realized through binary actions that involve supplementation and complementation.

By understanding functionality, one can anticipate operational needs and outcomes, ensuring that operations align with the entity’s inherent purpose and sustainability requirements. Validated through unicist destructive tests, this approach guarantees results that meet both immediate and structural objectives. This concept is part of the broader unicist ontological research process, revealing the essential logic of adaptive environments.

The Functionality of Things Explains Their Causality

In the unicist functionalist approach, understanding the functionality of things is crucial for grasping their underlying causality. Functionality refers to what something does, while causality delves into why it works. This intrinsic relationship between functionality and causality is foundational to effectively managing adaptive systems and environments.

The principle begins with recognizing that every entity, process, or system is governed by a purpose, an active function, and an energy conservation function. Each of these elements of the triadic structure contributes to how an entity functions and clarifies the causal relationships that define its existence and interactions.

The purpose is the core reason for an entity’s existence. It shapes the direction and ultimate goal, providing clarity on why specific outcomes are pursued. The active function encompasses the dynamic actions or processes that drive progress toward this purpose, highlighting causality by revealing the mechanisms and conditions required for its operation. The energy conservation function ensures these processes are sustainable over time, maintaining equilibrium, and ensuring long-term survival.

Understanding functionality requires identifying the interplay between these components, operating within their contexts—the restricted context acting as a catalyst or inhibitor and the wide context providing the gravitational pull. This comprehensive view allows for managing the unified field of the system, ensuring controlled and proactive adaptation.

By employing this principle, functionality is translated into operational binary actions that drive results. These actions include the use of supplementation and complementation laws to ensure coherence and effectiveness. This methodological process, validated through unicist destructive tests, affirms the function’s operationality by revealing its adaptation potential and resilience under varying conditions.

In essence, by analyzing functionality through the lens of unicist logic, we access the causality of a system or object. This understanding enables more precise interventions, facilitating sustainable solutions and fostering innovation, all while maintaining the core essence and purpose of the system. This insight is an outcome of the broader unicist ontological research process, which seeks to harness the causal relationships inherent in nature for improved systems management and adaptation.

The Unicist Approach to Causal Thinking

Consciousness allows managing the causality of things 

A conscious approach is needed to access the causality of adaptive environments.   Adaptive environments are complex because of the bi-univocity of the functionality of the objects that are part of a system or environment. Consciousness is the capacity of individuals to deal with reality using rational decision processes. The more complex the reality, the more need for a conscious approach.

The purpose of consciousness, at an operational level, is to ensure that the difference between what an individual thinks or says about reality and the real facts is minimal.

Human beings emulate the external reality in their minds to manage it when it has been considered a complex adaptive system.

There is no need to emulate it when instinctive and intuitive behavior suffices to act.

The risk of building a parallel reality when emulating an adaptive system is high.

Consciousness is the general system an individual has to emulate the actual reality without introducing elements that do not exist.

The purpose of consciousness

The purpose of consciousness is to discriminate reality to be able to differentiate the outside an individual needs to deal with, from the inside the individual uses to emulate the external environment.

And this has to happen with the necessary timing to be able to do something within the environment. The achievement of the necessary discrimination power is the goal of consciousness.

The maximal strategy is based on having the necessary timing to deal with reality and the minimum strategy, which ensures the goal, is the capacity of the individual to differentiate the outside from the inside to avoid the “inner mirror” distorting the external stimuli when emulating the outside to decide to act.

Discovering the differentiated outside as a purpose

The purpose of the discrimination power is given by the building of a functional complementation in mind which will take place later on in the actual environment. This complementation building is the driver for the development of the discrimination power.

This purpose is put into action by the perception of the outside which needs to be fallacy-free in order to be functional and based on the true influence an individual has on the external environment.

The discrimination begins when these aspects are given. The need to build a complementation is the first aspect that has to exist. That is why discrimination is fully related to complementation conflicts which are the central aspects of evolution.

Therefore, it can be said that discrimination is driven by a complementation conflict that needs to be solved before a discrimination process begins. When the complementation conflict is not faced the discrimination is transformed into the definition of a parallel reality where the individual doesn’t need to enter a conflict.

Complementation requires expansive ethical intelligence

Internal and external complementation is necessary to be able to access a conscious approach to reality. Complementation requires having the energy focus on a solution which, by definition, includes the need to build a better complementation.

The expansive ethical intelligence is defined by value-adding ethics, foundation ethics and conceptual ethics. The minimal level that is necessary to build complementation is value-adding ethics because it allows the individual to focus on a solution for others which is a basic condition for finding the complementation.

Contractive ethical intelligence such as value-earning ethics, survivors’ ethics, and stagnant survivors’ ethics necessarily drive towards a supplementary -competitive- approach to reality which naturally reverts the energy towards the individual to ensure her/his supremacy.

Conclusion

A conscious approach is necessary to address the causality in a field. This approach requires using unicist reflection to address the causality through the feedback of actions until functionality and causality are integrated. Therefore, causal thinking requires having the necessary discrimination power to apprehend the causality of things.
