Ambiguity: The key to Adaptive System design
Adaptive Systems are designed to produce results. Therefore they need to interact with the environment providing the necessary feedback to ensure results. They are necessarily future oriented because adapting implies dealing with what will happen from now on.
Reality is ambiguous. Therefore, predicting what is going to happen belongs to the world of speculation or the esoteric, unless one has an inference model of those elements that influence future behavior. This leads us to the world of possibilities and probabilities.
If one could access the functional essence of a reality, one could predict what it is going to happen with it by itself, without depending on the influence of other elements.
The discovery of the structure of a functional concept has enabled a deeper analysis of functional essences, which are those described in the “concept”.
From this point one arrived at a higher level of knowledge, inexistent at the time, which enabled knowledge models to be developed that made it possible to infer future possibilities.
This implies that conceptual knowledge is the basis of the essential knowledge of reality and what enables the future to be forecast. The Unicist Extreme Design technology was developed to enable the design adaptive systems dealing with the ambiguity of reality.
