Binary Actions


Toyota: Unicist Golden Eagle Award for Binary Actions

The Awards Committee of The Unicist School has recognized the Toyota design philosophy integrating technological safe solutions with the satisfaction of latent needs and aesthetics with the Unicist Golden Eagle Award for notorious binary actions in business. This award is based on the recommendation of the Assessment Committee of The Unicist Research Institute.

Car design is not an easy subject to describe, for its definition does not begin or end with the creation of something visually stylish. Appearance is important, of course, but good car design also needs to anticipate customer needs and deliver an engaging ownership experience.

In view of these understandings, Toyota has endeavoured to set broad parameters for its designers through the adoption of the Japanese slogan An Raku Tan. Dissecting this phrase, ‘An‘ means reliable as well as safe; ‘Raku‘ takes on the meaning of fun, exciting, yet comfortable; while ‘Tan‘ suggests simplicity and straightforwardness.

The process includes 5 phases which are:

  1. Concept making
  2. Idea development
  3. Color development
  4. Mock-up
  5. Decision hall

The integration of specific design methodologies allows ensuring the achievement of results, based on the participation of people who are able to manage the functionality of design processes by integrating technological requirements with the understanding of users’ experiences and aesthetics, which drives toward the binary actions that make things successful.

NOTE: Binary actions make things work. 100% of the business models of expansive businesses are based on binary actions that include the use of catalysts. Binary actions are two synchronized actions that, one the one hand, open possibilities establishing a functional context and, on the other hand, close processes to generate results. www.unicist.org


Unicist AI Emulates Human Intelligence

The unicist AI emulates the human thinking process to apprehend the concepts of adaptive systems and environments and make functional decisions. It uses the rules of the unicist logic and allows developing solutions and learning from the pilot tests of their implementation until their functionality has been confirmed.

The unicist logic is an emulation of the ontogenetic intelligence of nature that drives the functionality and evolution of adaptive systems and environments. The unicist artificial intelligence allows emulating the solutions of adaptive systems to build structural adaptive solutions..

The emulation of human intelligence requires two functions to make this possible: the learning function and the decision function.

  • The learning function allows confirming the functionality of actions based on the feedback of pilot tests.

  • The decision-making function of a Unicist AI approach to reality, allows making automated decisions that work as conscious decisions based on the recycling through the learning function..

Operational Cobots use the Rules of the Unicist Logic

The Unicist Logic allows managing the functionality and the binary actions of business processes. The use of the rules of this logic allows building and managing the necessary binary actions, catalysts and objects to drive the operation of adaptive systems. It establishes the basics to manage a functionalist approach to the real world.

The Unicist Logic is a synthetic logic that emulates the ontogenetic intelligence of nature and its maximal strategies to grow and minimum strategies to survive.

It was developed to validate the triadic functionality of natural and artificial adaptive systems and to design and build binary actions to manage them.

The unicist logic was developed to manage consciously the unified field of adaptive systems. Conscious reasoning allows developing fallacy-free decisions and actions to ensure the results of what is intended to be achieved. This logic provides the rules that drive the functionality of unicist AI.

The unicist logic is the natural logic to deal with adaptive environments and is the integrator of all logical reasoning patterns. It is homologous with the “category theory”, which is the mathematics that integrates the different mathematics by using a superior level of abstraction.

This logic, which is based on human ontointelligence, allows dealing with the dynamics, evolution and nature of adaptive environments and provided the structure to build the unicist artificial intelligence. Non-adaptive environments are considered a “particular case” of adaptive systems.

The Unicist Functionalist Approach: The functionalist approach is based on the use of binary actions that are composed by two synchronized actions where the first one opens possibilities and the second one ensures results. www.unicist.org


Adaptability: The Functionalist Approach in the 4IR

The introduction of the 4th industrial revolution included the introduction of adaptive industrial processes that require adaptive organizations. Functional adaptability defines the capacity to lead adaptive processes.

The extrinsic concept of adaptability is defined by a purpose given by professional resiliency, the active function, defined by the learning capacity, and the energy conservation function, given by the problem solving and solution building capacity.

This functional structure is managed by binary actions, which on the one hand, require learning the new aspects of what needs to be done and, on the other hand, require defining the actions that generate results.   

The use of Robots and Cobots

This adaptability of industrial processes can be enhanced by the use of adaptive robots, and cobots (collaborative robots) to simplify the management of adaptive business processes.

4th-Industrial-Revolution6

This requires new skills that allow managing the adaptability of organizations. These new skills include accountability, reliability, and transparency to be able to manage face-to-face and virtual environments.

Adaptive processes require having sound knowledge of the business processes involved, being fully reliable in the solution of problems, and being transparent to assume credible roles.

What makes adaptability functional is the learning capacity of individuals, which builds the resilience that is needed to influence the environment and to manage the changes the environment demands.

This learning capacity can be enhanced by organizing problem-solving groups to face the problems that appear. The approach to problems requires understanding the functionality of processes, which naturally drives towards learning what is needed to solve them.

Managing the Functional Structure of Businesses

To manage this process, it is necessary to manage the conceptual structure that defines the functionality of processes to build the necessary binary actions that ensure the achievement of results. This requires having the necessary learning capacity to be open to feedback from the environment.

The technological evolution has accelerated and there are new paradigms to manage business problems that require open minds to learn new approaches to take advantage of the available technologies. It can be said that the core aspect that makes adaptability possible is the learning capacity of individuals.

The functionalist approach simplifies learning processes by allowing people to access the functional structures of business functions, which remain unchanged as long as the function exists. This approach simplifies the learning processes and ensures the achievement of results in adaptive environments.

The Unicist Functionalist Approach: The functionalist approach is based on the use of binary actions that are composed by two synchronized actions where the first one opens possibilities and the second one ensures results. The use of univocal actions only works in fully controlled processes or where the environment provides the second action that sustains it. Therefore, the use of binary actions is not optional when it is needed to ensure the generation of results. www.unicist.org


The Unicist Functionalist Approach to Business

The Unicist Theory of Functionality affirms and demonstrates that there is nothing in the universe, which is part of a system, that does not work with a purpose, an active function, and an energy conservation function.

This process works through binary actions, which are two synchronized actions that aim at the same purpose. Some examples will clarify the functional structure of things.

The Triadic Functional Structure of Business Strategies

The unicist strategy emulates the intelligence of nature by developing maximal strategies to grow and minimum strategies to ensure survival.

The two binary actions include a maximal strategy action to expand the boundaries, and a minimum strategy action to ensure results.

While the drivers of a business strategy are the goals to be achieved, the authoritative role of a strategy is given by the recognized solution power of those who develop the actions.

The Triadic Functional Structure of Airplanes

The purpose of flying an airplane can be considered to move from one airport to another.

The active function is given by their propulsion and the energy conservation function is given by the lift provided by the wings.

The binary actions to make an airplane fly begin by producing the propulsion that generates the necessary speed of the airflow on the wings of the airplane to generate the lift.

Conclusion

The theory of functionality introduced a functionalist approach to the real world that allows developing the functional structures of solutions and the operational processes to make them happen. Business strategies are based on the input provided by the wide context scenarios and the restricted context scenarios.

Lecture: The Unicist Theory of Functionality applied to Business

This is an introduction to the Unicist Theory of Functionality, developed by Peter Belohlavek at The Unicist Research Institute, that introduced a simplification in the development of solutions in adaptive environments. It allows making a logical approach to the real world, developing the functional structures of solutions and the operational processes to make them happen.

The Unicist Theory of Functionality affirms and demonstrates that there is nothing in the universe, that is part of a system, that does not work with a purpose, an active and entropic function, and an energy conservation function. This triadic structure works through binary actions that produce the functionality of any entity or process, whatever its kind.

The following discoveries were the milestones of the development of the theory of functionality: complex systems research method (1980), functionality of human ontointelligence (1984), the ontogenetic intelligence of nature (1998), the unicist ontology of biological systems (2012) and the unicist ontology of wide and restricted contexts (2017).

This breakthrough provided the structure for functional knowledge that gave birth to binary actions, unicist functional design, and the use of catalysts to expand the functionality of things.
