Unicist Ontological Research Lab

The Unicist Ontological Research Lab was developed to manage the causality of business processes and the root causes of problems. It is a pivotal tool within the Unicist Conceptual Engineering Method, designed to transform the inputs from the ontogenetic map of functionalist principles into practical, executable processes.

This tool is essential for converting functionalist principles, defined by a purpose, an active function, and an energy conservation function, into systemic processes driven by binary actions and managed using business objects.

The Unicist Ontological Research Lab facilitates the construction of necessary binary actions, including catalysts, to develop, ensure, and accelerate processes. These binary actions are synchronized to deal with the root causes of the function addressed. The first Unicist Binary Action (UBA) transforms the active function into an action that makes the second action necessary, while the second UBA transforms the energy conservation function into results.

Moreover, the Unicist Ontological Research Lab is instrumental in managing the functionality, dynamics, and evolution of adaptive systems and environments. It ensures that the solutions are not just reactive but are proactively designed to address the causes of challenges and opportunities within the business.

To confirm the functionality of the solutions, the Unicist Ontological Research Lab employs unicist destructive tests. These tests are crucial for validating that the designed processes and actions are effective and aligned with the underlying functionalist principles.

The Nine Steps of the Design Process

Step 1) Define the project and the solution that needs to be built.

Step 2) Define the idea of the concept, which is a mental emulation of the solution.

Step 3) Define the functionalist principle of the solution.

Step 4) Define the context of the solution and the binary actions that make it work.

Step 5) Define the specific binary actions that drive the solution.

Step 6) Describe the conceptual solution.

Step 7) Design Binary Actions Features & Synchronicity.

Step 8) Implement pilot tests and destructive tests.

Step 9) Describe the pilot test results.

Step 10) Describe the project results.

To develop conceptual design, it is necessary to mentally emulate the functionalist principle of the entity being addressed. This requires an understanding of its functionality in operational terms and the results it produces.
