Managing Businesses as Adaptive Systems

Our basic and applied research has provided access to the causal approach in the real world. The discovery of functionalist principles, developed at The Unicist Research Institute, made a causal approach to business possible. It was made accessible to everyone through the use of the Unicist Conceptual Designer, which is based on managing the functionality of things and binary actions that, on one hand, expand possibilities and, on the other hand, ensure results, thereby enhancing growth and efficiency.

The unicist approach to IT is focused on the development of intelligent systems that became possible due to the functionalist approach, which manages the unicist logic and the concepts and fundamentals of business processes to build binary actions to generate added value.

Intelligent systems are sustained by the use of rule engines that use the unicist logic, unicist AI and data-based AI (when big data is being managed). Intelligent systems allow building and using cobots (collaborative robots) to simplify processes. Intelligent systems are built using the unicist conceptual designer.

The Unicist approach to IT is based on:

1. Binary actions: they are two synchronized actions that aim at the same purpose to achieve results.
2. Cobots: they are collaborative robots that provide a forward integration or a backward integration of processes to ensure results
3. Unicist logic: that provides the rules to manage the functionality of processes
4. Unicist AI: that provides an inference engine to manage the adaptability of processes.
5. Functional designers:  to design specific intelligent systems and applications

NOTE: Since 1976, The Unicist Research Institute has been a pioneer in researching adaptive systems, whether natural or artificial. It developed the functionalist approach to science to understand and manage natural and artificial adaptive systems, including social and institutional environments.

Basic Discoveries that Made the New Stage 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.
