Energy – Food: Interdisciplinary Tensions Inside/By/Alongside Systemic Contradictions

Abstract

This research paper/study presents the interdisciplinary efforts made to aggregate two research applications addressing the general themes: energy security, and global versus local analysis and synthesis on food systems.

The detailed conceptual titles of these aggregated two research applications are: Does the Generosity-Creativity-Solidarity triad matter on energy security interdisciplinary and professional expertise dual domain: Foresight on re-conceptualization and new praxis and recommendations towards the socially innovative communities?

Does the generosity-creativity-solidarity triad matter on global versus local analysis and synthesis on food systems interdisciplinary and professional expertise dual domain: foresight on re-conceptualization and new praxis and recommendations towards the socially innovative communities?

The above presented conceptual titles of these aggregated two research applications give a glimpse on the “common” nucleus of these attempts: the conceptual and praxis implication of the Generosity-Creativity-Solidarity Triad.

Also, the both two research applications promote the foresight on re-conceptualization and new praxis and recommendations towards the socially innovative communities.

This research paper/study presents the interdisciplinary background that make and made possible to aggregate all these, i.e. some basic ideas within the research/presentation: Some original constructs/concepts into Nicolae Bulz’s book “The Decision inside the Operative Problem Solving” [Decizia in Rezolvarea Problemelor Operative], Editura Militara, Bucuresti, 1989, ISBN 973-32-0064-6, 216 pages: Pre-internalisation; Heuristc/mixt determinism; Analysis/synthesis within/into an operational frame-table.

Some original constructs/concepts into Nicolae Bulz’s PhD thesis “Analysis and Synthesis of Decisional Operative Sub-systems,” Academia Tehnica Militara, Bucuresti, 1996: Four systemic type of thinking (versus Spinoza-Russell; Goethe, Leibnitz, Cusanus patterns); Echilibrium-metaechilibrium conflict and consensus regarding the structured mixed (human-machine) system; A general chain Processes_Products, within its rules and constrains – embedding humankind productive efforts, neighbouring intelligence and moral attempt upon the future; The constructs of: identification<=>interpretation within Input<=>Output flow; Nucleus of processing; (re)adaptation of processing after (i b) steps; time-limitation of processing after (i a) steps; Metainformation; Metadecision; A specific algorithmic-heuristic flow of metasystemic and metalogical reconstruction within a decisional sub-system under the pressure of constituted hard problems; Evidence of two case studies: a systemic context and a metasystemic context – both reflecting linguistic decisional capacity of human being; Evidence of aggregating the original constructs of the thesis as a contribution at the human-machine interface; automatization-automatation balance.

At the stage of February 2, 2012, there were the following types of problems related to the theme and conceptual standing as: "Energy Security" construct vs. Generosity-Creativity-Solidarity topoi: 14 strategic problems; 8 methodological problems; 5 operational problems, and tactic problems.

At the stage of February 28, 2012, there were the following types of problems related to the theme and conceptual standing as: " Global versus Local Analysis and Synthesis on Food Systems" construct vs. Generosity-Creativity-Solidarity topoi: 6 strategic problems; 3 methodological problems; 6 operational problems, and tactic problems.

Energy – Food: Interdisciplinary Tensions inside/by/alongside Systemic Contradictions is a research study/paper programmed and presented within the research plan from: Romanian Academy/CRIFST/DLMFS/Interdisciplinary Research Group (IRG).

Energy – Food: Interdisciplinary Tensions inside/by/alongside Systemic Contradictions is a research study/paper dedicated to two overseas members (recently died) of the IRG: Dr. Frederik Kile (US) (April 2012) – founder of the research co-domain: Supplematary ways of improving international stability inside IFAC (Automatic Systems domain), previously projecting of Large Scale Systems on Air Defence; Professor Emeritus Sjoerd L. Bonting (The Netherlands) (March 2013) – Biochemistry, Chaos Technology, Inter/Transdisciplinary approaches on Science, Religion, Humankind; and to Academician Mihai Drăgănescu (May 2010) – Romanian scholar – Electronics, Information Science, Structural-Phenomenology, Consciousness Society – who firstly affirmed on an equivalence, in ovo, between Systems Theory approaches and Sociology approaches – beyond time – on representation and solvation of a human and societal problem versus the architectural approach within intro-open systems.

This dedicated research study/paper was firstly aggregated and presented by Professor Dr. Nicolae Bulz within the Simposium: Energy – Food: Interdisciplinary Tensions inside/by/alongside Systemic Contradictions on April 11 2013, at the Consilium Hall of Romanian Academy, Victoria Road No.125, 15:00-17:00.

The research paper/study Energy – Food: Interdisciplinary Tensions inside/by/alongside Systemic Contradictions is focalised on the conceptual base and methodology related to this matter.
