The Unicist Research Institute (TURI), founded in 1976, is the leading research organization behind the creation of the unicist functionalist approach to science. This approach enabled the development of unicist functionalist principles and binary actions for managing the causality of adaptive environments.

The Unicist Research Institute is one of the few organizations in the world that research the roots of causality in adaptive systems and environments to understand their functionality, dynamics, and evolution:

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

TURI was founded by Peter Belohlavek, the scientist who led both basic and applied research, allowing for the development of functionalist expert systems using the Unicist Research Library, which contains more than 150 books.

The Unicist Corporate University is the academic arm of TURI. It is an institution dedicated to superior education in business, focusing on the causal management of adaptive systems and environments. It centers on the unicist educational approach, emphasizing an action-reflection-action methodology crucial for dealing with the causality of adaptive environments.

Basic Discoveries that Made the Unicist Functionalist Approach Possible

• Unicist Ontogenetic Logic: It is an emulation of the intelligence of nature that regulates the functionality, dynamics, and evolution of living beings and adaptive entities of any kind.
• Unicist Evolution Laws: Including the laws of functionality, dynamics, and evolution of adaptive systems.
• Unicist Ontology: It defines the nature of things based on their functionality.
• Unicist Functionalist Principles: These principles manage the unified field of entities and define the functionality of adaptive environments based on their purposes, active functions and energy conservation functions.
• Unicist Binary Actions: These are two synchronized actions that open possibilities and ensure results to make functionalist principles work.
• Functionalist Approach to Science: A pragmatic, structuralist and functionalist approach to adaptive systems and environments integrating the know-how and the know-why of things.
