DEFINITIONS

  • Scientific Base [SB]

    it is made up of explanations concerning the mechanisms or rules governing the analyzed phenomena related to the complex issue under discussion; this base is the central element of Integrated Information, whose task is to provide, in the shortest possible form, the necessary scientific knowledge and the fullest possible up-to-date data required to discuss the Complex Issue;
  • Scientific Spotlights of the Core Aspects

    all the scientific planes of the Complex Issue that must be taken into account in order to describe it comprehensively.
  • Separate Facts from Guesswork

    The impossibility of separating facts from guesses is exploited by people whose aim is not to solve the problem, but to gain some benefit for themselves, such as winning support in parliamentary elections, selling some product, lobbying in somebody’s interest, or simply shining in public discourse. By treating their opponents’ arguments as opinions, even though they are facts, they deprive them of their strongest asset, namely the unambiguity of reality. Read More »Separate Facts from Guesswork
  • Source Base

    source materials extracted from mass media on the Complex Issue, making it possible to determine the Core Aspects and the Necessary Reference Points that constitute the pillars of Integrated Information.
  • Core Aspects in IAI
  • Necessary Reference Point
  • Synthesis Bricks

    pieces of information from various IAI bases which, when combined into one coherent logical whole, create a set of information that makes it possible to answer elementary questions.
  • Synthetic Collective Intellect

    An online database of Active Integrated Information that organizes human knowledge within a single multi-level structure in which information from all areas of science is most easily integrated when focused around Complex Issues.
  • System of Necessary Reference Points

    a set of all the Reference Points that matter for a given Complex Issue and that will be taken into account when creating Integrated Information; when creating it, we omit references that do not contribute to posing significant questions.
