The Unicist Approach to Scenario Building

The Unicist Anthropology allows Forecasting the Future

Until the unicist approach to human adaptive systems the theoretical and empirical approaches did not allow to predict the future, anticipate conflicts or influence evolution.

Unicist Anthropology is a unicist structural functionalist approach to human adaptive systems. It manages the unified fields organized by interdependent objects, their structure defined by their unicist ontologies and their functionality based on their ontogenetic maps.

“Unicist Anthropology is the complexity scientific approach to human behavior and the structural analysis of individuals’ deeds in order to forecast their evolution.

It surveys not only the evolution of Man as a species and as an individual but also the evolution of his institutions. It studies Man, his actions and his transcendence as “a unified field”.

Its main tool is the application of the Unicist Theory of Evolution, the Unicist Logic, and the laws of evolution of individuals, institutions and culture.

It studies the most intrinsic and extrinsic concepts that operate as “drivers” of cultures and individuals to use them as a basis for the causal-conceptual description of a reality in order to forecast it.

Unicist Anthropology conceptually structures taboos, myths and utopias that influence Man’s actions.

Its main objective is to forecast the behavior of individuals, institutions and cultures so as to basically influence their evolution.”

Using the unicist approach to design future scenarios

The unicist approach to scenario building is based on the research and discovery of the archetypes of countries and cultures and the development of the ontogenetic maps to deal with economic, political, social, technological and growth scenarios.

It made the development of future scenarios possible by considering the evolution laws and inferring the future based on the knowledge of the unicist ontological structure and the information of the present.

What Was Not Possible in Business Before the Unicist Approach?

 1)      The development of diagnoses beginning with the nature of a business and ending with its operation.

2)      The development of ontology based, reasonable, understandable and reliable global, country, market and business future scenarios.

3)      The design of synergic maximal and minimum strategies for business growth

4)      The building of business objects to work as drivers, catalysts and entropy inhibitors of business processes.

5)      The management of businesses as unified fields taking advantage of the possibilities while saving energy.

6)      The segmentation of markets including the hard, functional, psychological, conceptual and life-style aspects to influence buying processes.

7)      The integration of fundamental analysis and technical analysis to develop reliable knowledge.

Active Inaction: the Most Powerful Cooperation Destructor

The active inaction is a defense of individuals or groups that destroys the context they are dealing with by exposing the implicit weaknesses of the situation.

Each specific situation has strengths and weaknesses. But within strengths, there are implicit weaknesses. While weaknesses need to be managed, implicit weaknesses can not be eliminated as they are part of the nature of the strength.

When active inaction occurs, the implicit weaknesses become evident and the strengths vanish.  That is why active inaction is so destructive.

When societies stagnate, they naturally tend towards a stagnant survivor’s behavioral pattern. This means that people are fully focused on exerting power to appropriate as much value as they can from the environment having the necessary justifications to do so.

This happens in cultures or niches of cultures where involutionary trends are strong because of materialistic or anthropological reasons.

This produces a trend towards an increase of the level of conflict in order to appropriate what can be appropriated. The active inactions, like strikes, are a natural response in environments where the cooperative negotiation capacity doesn’t suffice.

Inaction is in itself, the most powerful social destructive method that has been used in human history. It allows destroying without feeling guilty.

Passive resistance is part of what we call active inaction. The paradox is that it is frequently used in evolving segments while it is only legitimate in survival environments and non-legitimate in expansive cultures.

The more underdeveloped a segment, the higher the risk of using active inaction as a conscious or unconscious defense of some interests.

2012, the Year of the Possible

This year The Unicist Research Institute has celebrated the 35th anniversary with the most fruitful research effort in their history having finished more than 600 researches including some of them than demanded far more than 20 years (consciousness, unified field of human adaptive systems, etc). They made 600 new aspects in the field of individual, institutional and social fields become possible.

The unicist approach is based on finding out what is possible in order to focus on it. The unicist approach deals with the “possible”, defined as a noun. It has to be considered that a possibility is a conditional situation while the “possible” is an assertive fact.

What is possible sustains success. Everything that is possible can be achieved. But this has a problem: while it provides the security of what can be done, it demands the freedom of assuming the responsibility for doing it.

The crises in the world happen because something was not “possible” but this situation was disregarded. Failures are always a consequence of someone trying to do something impossible or of something possible that was not done because people did not assume the responsibility.

That is why The Unicist Research Institute promotes:

Why are ontogenetic maps Cross-cultural?

The discovery of the anthropological (cultural) invariables allowed explaining human essential behavior. These invariables are, on the one hand, the human need for security and freedom and, on the other hand, the alternative trend towards expansion or contraction.

This was modeled in the double pendular behavior of humans that allows apprehending human evolution at an essential level.

The research on human intelligence and the discovery of ontointelligence, defined by ethical intelligence, the type of thought and strategic intelligence, allowed explaining how humans deal with adaptive systems. It defines the depth, amplitude and timeframe an individual can manage in the field of adaptive systems.

The ontogenetic maps are cross-cultural because their structure is based on the anthropological invariables which makes them self-evident in any culture.

Why are ontogenetic maps timeless?

The discovery of the ontogenetic intelligence of nature opened the possibilities to deal with adaptive systems without needing to treat them as systemic systems.

It established that every living being is regulated by an intelligence that establishes its purpose, its active principle to evolve and its energy conservation principle to sustain its purpose.

It established that these elements in their oneness behave in a double dialectical way:

  • The purpose is put into action by the active function having a relationship ruled by the supplementation law.
  • The purpose is sustained by the energy conservation principle having a relationship based on the complementation law.

This discovery established the basics that allowed approaching adaptive systems based on their unicist ontologies and building their ontogenetic maps which emulate the ontogenetic intelligence of nature. The ontogenetic maps remain unchanged as long as a function exists, for example negotiation, leadership, strategy, etc.

Globalization and social capital in diplomacy and business

The social capital of a culture is based on its integration capacity, its competitive attitude and its cooperative willingness.

It can be defined by the strengths of the bonds between the members of the community.

It is necessary to understand the attitude of a culture when dealing with globalization.

Different cultures have different ways to evolve, based on their archetypes and materialized by their social capital.

It can be said that the Central European countries have a cooperative bias while the USA has a competitive bias and Japan an integrative one.

The attitude of a culture is driven by its elite and followed by the mass. Extremely individualistic elites, typical in non-consolidated countries, generate a lack of social capital making their structure unstable.

Diplomacy needs to adapt to the characteristics of cultures to achieve results. Multinational companies need to avoid projecting the values of their headquarters to foreign markets in order to expand.

Knowing the archetypes of countries is useful to adapt to each culture without losing the objectives to be achieved.

Political equilibrium of institutionalized countries

Countries become institutionalized when their governmental actions become interdependent with the actions of the State. This can only be apprehended if the unified field of a Country is known in its ontological structure.

Click on the image to open it.

When governments dominate the actions of the State, there is no possibility of equilibrated evolution. Governments need to ensure the conjuncture while the State provides solutions for the structure.

Political institutions are the representatives of the people that define the politicians that will be in charge of the countries’ administration.

Considering the double dialectical behavior of social systems there are necessarily two complementary positions in the administration of a Country considered as a unified field: The conservative and the liberal.

Conservatives’ goal is to administrate countries as if their past and future were symmetric. As this is obviously illogical, they produce the necessary fallacious rational constructions to avoid the perception that they are building the future based on the past.

That is why they are driven by the answers they find in the past.

They need to have the necessary methods to manage, covering the weaknesses of a culture defined by its fallacious myths. They are necessarily the dominant party of an equilibrated Country.

On the other hand, liberals seek to change a country by opening the boundaries of the present situation based on the strengths of cultures materialized in their myths. They need to be driven by questions in order to find the way to deal with the new boundaries.

They are functional to countries that became stagnated because of long periods of conservatism or that need to change on the basis of the changes of the global context.

Change requires necessarily having the necessary strength to produce it. That is why change requires a liberal approach which deals with the strengths of a culture.

The distance between conservatives and liberals has to be wide enough to produce changes but small enough so as to generate evolution without generating revolutions.

Conservatives imply the prevalence of the energy conservation function of a country with a dualistic approach to ensure the structural values of a culture and their traditional way of life.

Liberals need to be driven by the active function of a country in order to produce changes which become effective if they are defined with an integrative (non-dualistic) approach. Their goal is to drive a country to a higher level.

Non institutionalized countries are endangered because they are implicitly weaker than the institutionalized ones. That is why they become militarily influenced when they consider that their integrity is threatened and religiously influenced when their structural values become threatened.

In both cases these countries are driven by a dualistic non dialectical approach with a hypothetical intention to become institutionalized in a meaningful way.

Military and religious people need to have a dualistic approach to reality. It is natural for their role in society. Their approach also includes two wings, a conservative and a liberal wing, but in a mutually excluding sense.

Paradoxically, they can only generate true institutionalization by the reaction of the culture, not by their action. Understanding the state of political equilibrium allows knowing how to deal with it.

It needs to be known that there is no correspondence between leftists, rightists, liberals and conservatives.  Every ideology has its conservative and its liberal group.

The unicist ontological structure of history

The unicist historical research model is based on the unicist ontology of evolution considering that the structure “thesis-antithesis-synthesis” is inexistent. The “simple” dialectic is an over-simplification to foster voluntarism.

The unicist ontology of evolution considers that natural evolution is ruled by a double dialectic behavior:

1) Thesis-antithesis

2) Thesis – homeostasis

The integration of both dialectics defines the ontological structure of a given reality. The unicist methodology of historical research is based on the analysis of events and their inclusion in an ontological structure.

This explains history integrating the descriptive, interpretative, anthropological and ontological approaches. This methodology considers ideologies as a part of the structure, but avoids ideological contamination in history.

The four segments to approach history are:

The descriptive approach

It is a chronological description of the facts of history. It can be restricted to a particular fact or include its context. It gives equal weight to important and less important events.

The interpretative approach

It is a description focused on important events, excluding those the author does not see as important. It usually includes the qualification of the events to explain their inclusion or exclusion.

The anthropological approach

It is a description of the events describing the facts structured by the knowledge of the anthropological invariables. It includes a functional description of the events and the functional relation between them.

The ontological approach

It is a description of the events describing the facts structured by the knowledge of the ontological structure of the reality under research. It requires the knowledge of the ontological structure of a reality and the use of the unicist logic to be able to define the functionality of the events.

Unicist ontological research of history

The unicist research of history includes the four approaches. Thus the more segments are covered by the researchers the more objective the conclusions of historical research are.
