Part 1: Introduction to Conciliatorics

The analytical exploration of systems has taken many approaches over time. Some researchers have tackled the issue from established disciplines like mathematics, computer science, and philosophy. Others have developed approaches that treat systems as their starting point and main subject, such as cybernetics, systems theory, and ecology. Due to the diverse nature of these approaches, integrating the knowledge derived from each field has always been a challenge. Attempts to address this challenge include general systems theory, systemics, and systems science....

Identifying the fundamental building blocks of systems analysis is a challenge. We often impose hierarchical structures, but these can conflict with the complexity of systemic interactions. Additionally, starting with a model that is too simplistic or overly complex can create problems as the analysis develops. We are going to offer a model labeled Behavior Dynamics. This model contains one main systemic phenomenon (Behavior) and three main systemic entities (System, Member, Medium)....

Behavior Dynamics leads to various types of interactions and configurations, one of which is Systemic Intervention. This interaction is explicitly hierarchical and based on the member entity. SYSTEMIC INTERVENTION: Action performed by a member that seeks to influence the behavior of a system. INTERVENER: Member that implements systemic intervention in a system. --- title: Systemic Intervention --- flowchart LR A(**Member**) B(*Medium*) C(System) A --> B B --> C A member’s behavior can be intentional or non-intentional, localized or expansive, short-term based or planned ahead, etc....

Parcellation refers to the process of breaking down complex intervention behaviors into distinct categories for analysis. There are multiple ways to structure inventive intervention internally, but for Conciliatorics, we focus on Inventive Parcellation. We respect and welcome alternative structures, but this one is necessary for the current state of Conciliatorics. Any alternative models must integrate with our primary framework. INVENTIVE PARCELLATION: Primary structure of inventive intervention. INVENTIVE APPROACH: Method of inventive intervention....

While self-contained inventive interventions can be useful, the most impactful ones are those that contribute to Inventive Edification—a process typically reserved for highly intelligent species. More fundamental forms of intervention remain accessible to a broader range of organisms. INVENTIVE EDIFICATION: Continuous and expansive development of inventive parcels. INVENTIVE EDIFICATION Intrinsicality Interstitiality Contemplation Edified Intrinsic Contemplation Edified Interstitial Contemplation Transformation Edified Intrinsic Transformation Edified Interstitial Transformation These edifications are the product of the progressive improvements of multiple interveners....

Inventive Edification, when progressing in healthy alignment with Behavior Dynamics, can significantly enhance the experiences of system members. However, this progression can become dysfunctional when the relationship between intervention and Behavior Dynamics is corrupted. When this happens, what was once a dynamic form of edification begins to ossify. INVENTIVE OSSIFICATION: The manifestation of dysfunctional processes in inventive edification. INVENTIVE OSSIFICATION Intrinsicality Interstitiality Contemplation Ossified Intrinsic Contemplation Ossified Interstitial Contemplation Transformation Ossified Intrinsic Transformation Ossified Interstitial Transformation Ossification emerges when interveners begin prioritizing the edification itself over the system it was meant to serve....

Ossification arises from a fracture in the interaction between inventive parcels. To amend this fracture, we must restore their reciprocal nature and reestablish their collaborative flow. INVENTIVE CONCILIATION: The restoration of functional processes in inventive edification. This restoration may take many forms, depending on the context and the nature of the ossification. One such process is what we call the Parcels Council—a structured method for facilitating conciliation: Identify which inventive parcel corresponds to the ossified intervention....
