The unicist approach provided the structure of social power considering it as one of the elements of the power of Nations. It provides the structure that needs to be managed in cultures to produce national synergy to have power without needing to exert it.

“It has to be considered that Social Power puts the Archetypes of a Nation into action and is also the power that fosters the evolution to the next step.

This implies that it is the most energy consuming fundamental of the Power of Nations. If the energy is not invested, the power doesn’t generate its contribution and the culture tends to involve.

It has to be considered that the Social Power puts the Economic Power into action and therefore all the aspects of the economic power need to be covered when making social power work. This means, basically, all the aspects that are related with work, education and technology.

The purpose of Social Power is to generate National Synergy which is the attitude the society takes to work when following one direction in a synergistic way.

The establishment of a culture is what puts the synergy into action and the formal and real institutionalization is what provides the necessary energy conservation to ensure the direction of the National Synergy. “

There are almost 2 billion inhabitants in the world that are under 15 years old who can be helped in their evolution.

Conscious intelligence requires the use of language in order to be able to develop reasoning processes. The lower the level of language an individual uses, the lower the level of conscious intelligence s/he has.

The program of the UGN was developed to use cell phone messaging as the vehicle to expand the use of language.

We invite all type of organizations worldwide to promote this activity among children and young people.

It has been developed in English, Portuguese and Spanish but we would be pleased if it is expanded to other languages.

Minimum Strategies are Zero Sum Strategies. That is why they have to be used after a Maximal Strategy, which provides added value, has been implemented.

The zero sum approach multiplies when Minimum Strategies are used to approach reality without having a Maximal Strategy as a counterpart.  They provoke a Zero Sum Effect that degrades actions and fosters the involution of the environment.

Zero Sum approaches need to be unconscious because individuals seek for profit without adding value. Only psychopaths or sociopaths can do that.

The antidote is simple but not easy.  It requires a unicist reflection process (action-reflection-action) that allows integrating value adding strategies with Zero Sum Strategies making an adaptive process 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:

Fundamental analysis was an early technology to manage opportunities and risks, but mathematical solutions were consistent enough to displace and transform it into a subjective and perhaps intuitive approach to opportunity/risk management.

It has to be considered that human adaptive systems have a three dimensional structure following the ontogenetic intelligence of nature: http://www.unicist.org/deb_uoin.php

An ontological approach is necessary to deal with opportunities and risks in the field of adaptive systems in order to manage their three dimensional ontogenetic algorithms.

As it is known, mathematical models for adaptive systems are necessarily based on “ceteris paribus” or empirical solutions that are based on historical information with sophisticated projections.

That is why we consider that time has come to integrate technical analysis with fundamental analysis to provide reliable diagnoses and prognoses to the markets. This will surely prove a security framework that will bring relief to them.

The unicist economic theory defines that the maximal strategy for economic behavior is driven by production and the minimum strategy is driven by distribution.

Economic evolution implies the prevalence of production, while using the distribution to ensure the minimum strategy for economic equilibrium and social well-being. Unicist distributionism is a concept that differs structurally from the Catholic use of the word.

State actions should provide the well-being of future generations while governmental actions, being driven by electoral needs, are naturally focused on present well-being.

In 50 years there will be nearby 9 billion inhabitants in the world. That is why the need for productivity is basic to ensure their existence without entering into endless survivor conflicts which necessarily drive towards an increase of fundamentalism with the corresponding consequences.

Nowadays neo-monetarism prevails; monetary disposal supersedes rational economic behavior. Countries’ external and internal debts that have not been the consequence of infrastructural investments are an indicator of lower or higher levels of distributionism.

Distributionism is focused on ensuring the distribution of materialistic resources without considering their relationship with the value generated. This necessarily generates structural crises and conflicts.

But there are also subtle aspects in distributionist behaviors. Incentivizing war-industry to increase the monetary circulation to reactivate an economy or speculative businesses are collateral damages of a distributionist attitude.

Distributionism begins when cultures consider that they achieved their “zenith”.

This can be seen in “The lack of hope triggers social cathartic conflicts”: http://www.theoryofevolution.net/blog/the-lack-of-hope-triggers-social-cathartic-conflicts/

This explosion or implosion happens making all the members feel guilty because of their incapacity to find solutions to integrate their fellows.

As guilt is a feeling that cannot be borne, it is transformed into an extreme anxiety first, and then into hate at the end, in order to allow individuals to adapt.

Guerrilla wars are fundamentalist wars

Guerrilla wars require a high level of hate in order to legitimate the killing of fellows. External wars happen in order to obtain a booty, whatever the kind. But booties are illegitimate in civil wars. Therefore “hate” is needed to legitimate booties in civil guerrilla wars. But, on the other hand, hate also makes them extremely irrational.

This situation drives naturally to addictive behaviour.

Addictions are a natural response to an uncertain environment in which a person feels hopeless, impotent and without identity.

When these conditions are given, individuals enter the shelter of addictions.

Addictions help to deal with these self-destructive feeling in a paradoxical way. While the individual is installed in the parallel world s/he feels fulfilled, but, after returning to the real world, s/he feels worse than before and the need for addictive stimuli rises.

On the one hand, the rebels need to build a parallel reality based on their utopia. On the other hand, the establishment enters into a parallel reality to solve a conflict they cannot deal with in a rational way.

Fundamentalism is an addiction with many benefits

1. It creates a real world to live in which appears to be the parallel world one is seeking.
2. It creates social bonds among the members of the group sharing the same belief.
3. It generates or empowers the development of a micro-cosmos in which addicts feel free of addictions and the self-destruction is deviated towards “the rest of the world”.

Considering the level of self-destruction or destruction, four segments can be characterized:

1. Pleasure addictions: providing instants of extreme pleasure.
2. Rational/spiritual addictions: providing the sensation of absolute empowerment.
3. Suicidal addictions: providing the power of “dancing” beyond human limits.
4. Terrorist addictions: providing the power of feeling God.

Conclusions

Stagnated hopelessness fosters guerrilla wars in extremely individualistic countries that lack institutionalization and therefore cannot have a conservative/liberal alternation.

The level of institutionalization can be measured in the separation between the Government and the State of a country and the “social sanction” for illegal behavior of individuals.

In highly institutionalized countries hopelessness drives towards a marginal violent behavior that works as a catharsis until the alternation conservatism/liberalism provides a solution.

Legitimacy is all what matters to overcome the wounds of civil wars.

All innovations imply change, but not all changes are innovations in the sense it was described. Innovations require the existence of a structural change of how a scarce element is being managed.

Inventions and discoveries are innovations only when they modify the management of scarcity. Inventions and discoveries only exist if the innovation can be apprehended.

The use of an innovation is a condition for its existence. Until this happens it is perceived as an expression of the inventor’s or discoverer’s ego.

A necessary condition to apprehend an innovation’s functionality is its operational recreation. This recreation requires a high level of adaptation to the environment in order to be able to “introject” the functions of the innovation.

Innovation blindness is an unconscious response of individuals who do not perceive the proposed change, when the conditions to make use of it are not given.

The functionality of innovation blindness is the avoidance of energy consumption to introduce a new task in an individual’s brain.

In order to avoid the innovation, the necessary fallacies are built. Thus those who do not have the necessary knowledge to apprehend a new reality are “blind” and those who do not have it but think they do, are blind and deaf.

The consequence of innovation blindness is that individuals cannot see an innovation and cannot hear about it.

The genotype defines the genetic structure of the entity that rules its evolution and generates the phenotype of the being.  The objective of the genotype is to ensure the permanence of species, it reproduction and production.

The phenotype defines the morphologic, behavioral and materialistic characteristics of the entity. It defines the functional characteristics, the functional power of the entity and the functional assurance.

Functionality defines the effectiveness of the phenotype measured as the consequence of the adaptation of the biological entity to the environment. Functionality is measured in the capacity of adapting and growing on the one hand, and surviving, on the other hand.

The understanding of the ontology of “biological entities” helps to follow the laws of nature when dealing with genetic engineering processes and use it to apprehend the nature of beings with “artificial life” such as institutions.

Modifications of functions will cause different effects according to the role the functions comply with. Mutations occur when the purpose of given concepts change.

If there is a modification in the adverbial function mutations could take place, and even if there is none, the system has lost stability and will generate a change in the verbal function.

Mutation may occur because of evolution or because of involution. In the first case mutations are based on the action of the verbal function to fulfill its purpose. Involution is produced by the inability of the verbal function to produce results.

Evolution implies that the verbal function, representing a more functional intelligence, turns to be the purpose of a concept.

Involution implies a structural change in the functionality of a concept. The verbal function sub-concept replaces the concept.

Socially, there is mutation when there is a change in the habits of a given society. The purposes of a society are implicit in its habits.

Fifth evolution law: The law of mutation

Mutation occurs when a living being or a being with artificial life is marginalized and his survival is threatened. In this context, living beings mutate and adapt again when they have the necessary energy to do so.

This law can be observed in the evolution of diseases. Viruses mutate frequently. They mutate when they need to find new ways to survive hostile environments.

Mutations occur in chaotic contexts. It is hardly impossible to influence mutations to cause evolution.
