The Unicist Research Institute

The Unicist Research Institute (TURI) is a global institution, dedicated to basic and applied research in the field of complexity sciences. The development of the unicist ontology made the research of complexity possible by using unicist logic and logical inferences.
Applied research at TURI is focused on the development of ontology-based technologies for social, institutional, individual and business applications. We develop technologies, tools and solutions in the field of the research of complex systems, future research, scenarios, strategy and education applied to countries, business and individuals.

Basic and Fundamentals research works on complex problems - developed from 1976 until 2007 - applied over 85,000 hours in the falsification process and more than 170,000 hours in the validation/revalidation process. From now on the objective is to focus on complex problems applied research with our global research organization composed by over 200 researchers distributed in 18 countries (February 2007).

Our future research is focused on:

1) Global trends
2) Country future research
3) Lifestyles' evolution
4) The ontology of evolution

Globalization

Globalization… The big one loses. The small one also loses. Central and peripheral countries lose. Who is the winner? Globalization is for the strong ones, whether they are big, small, central or peripheral. In this book you will find a ruthless and actual synthesis about globalization’s sustainability.
It is the result of a future research study grounded on the unicist theory of evolution and the unicist methodology for scenario building.

Unicist Country Future Research

This book provides a methodology to develop country future scenarios to analyze risks and opportunities. It provides an ontology-based technology to research the reality of countries. The unicist future research approach is based on the conceptual structure of countries that can be found in their past, and the use of the information of the present to infer the future.
This logical approach to the future makes the forecast of country future scenarios reliable.

Introduction to Unicist Econometrics
The integration of possibilities and probabilities to influence micro and macroeconomics

Unicist Econometrics is an approach that solved the limitation of the dualistic approach of econometrics. It included an integrative dimension based on the unicist ontology of evolution, thus limiting the limits of the possibilities in which econometrics delivers reliable diagnoses and prognostics. Unicist Econometrics provides the reliable models to diagnose and influence micro and macroeconomics, melting their boundaries in a sole unified field: human's economic behavior.

Fundamentalism:
the ethic of survivors

Fundamentalism is an attitude taken by any individual, group or culture whose survival is endangered. Fundamentalism is a natural human behavior when exposed to an extreme threat. In these cases humans need “absolute” behaviors, based on transcendent beliefs to escape from the resulting uncertainty. These beliefs can be based on religious, ideological or mythic “truths”. Diplomacy is the answer. But diplomacy requires cooperation, competitiveness and dissuasion power. This is a very subtle “integration” of “war in peace.

Beyond Taboos
Unicist Ontology of History
Unicist Methodology for Historical Research

History is supposed to deliver secure knowledge to be aware of the reality one is living in, in order to be able to live in an adapted way. Nowadays there are two models to structure the logic of historical information: the dialectic and the unicist double dialectic.
The unicist approach to history besides delivering the ontology for historical research, demonstrates the fallacy of the dialectic model.

New Edition!
The Unicist Ontology of Evolution
The Ontogenetic Intelligence of Nature
By Peter Belohlavek

The discovery of the unicist laws of evolution opened new frontiers in the field of diagnoses and prognoses of individuals, institutions and countries by using logical inference models. Access the ontological laws on which the Blue Eagle Expert System’s logic is based. They set the groundings for accurate business diagnoses, prognoses, strategies, scenario building and future research.

Design of Complex Systems Research
Introduction to the unicist research methodology to diagnose and operate complex realities

This e-book will give you an introduction to the unicist approach to complexity research. The final goal of all diagnosis is to influence reality. To do so the researcher needs to explain it, but the explanation is only a comprehension framework to exert influence on the environment under study.
The research that merely tries to explain a situation becomes an end in itself and therefore tends to be fallacious. All reality that operates as a complex system needs to be approached as a unified field. The unified field is not susceptible to division into variables. Division is only possible when dealing with a non-complex system. A complex system can only be studied as a unit. A very strict methodology, forecast and validation/falsification are required to avoid falling into fallacies that will lead into erroneous diagnoses.
