Adaptability is based on the use of information about the environment to select from a repertoire of possible behaviors. The principle of biological compensation states that restrictions on one part of this repertoire (e.g. on genetic plasticity) must be compensated by expansions of other parts (e.g. neurobehavioral plasticity), by an increase in computing power, or by a decrease in niche space. The tradeoflprinciple asserts that programmability is incompatible with high evolutionary plasticity and efficient use of computational resources. Together these two principles imply that the increasing use of programmable computing power in modern societies can have an adaptability decreasing effect that would put humans in the position of disturbance-absorbing homeostats for computers. Computers can benefit society, but whether they do so in any particular case depends on a sensitive respect for the tradeoffs elucidated by adaptability theory.","PeriodicalId":82877,"journal":{"name":"Systems research : the official journal of the International Federation for Systems Research","volume":"22 2","pages":"1-23"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1002/SRES.3850100402","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50990686","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It contributes to the redefinition of the professions of physical planning and design; and the establishment of their human science foundations. This paper begins with a description of general systems theory, and the types of organizational structures that emerge in systems that are either in a state of equilibrium, controlled change, or chaos. It addresses the changes in system dynamics that occur as a culture moves from a condition of equilibrium or slow evolutionary change, to one of profound, rapid change. Conceptual approaches to decision-making to address these changing conditions are explored, with a focus on strategies to manage change and retard its rate, or conversely to maximize rate of change with reduced ability to manage that change. The paper presents the recent history of South Africa, Value Systems Theory and the differential manner in which people image the world - in an effort to establish intergroup harmony. It introduces problems that are emerging due to different value systems and need satisfaction; and on-going efforts to facilitate rapid paradigmaticmore » change through equilibrium processes.

It addresses case-study research to identify urbanization {open_quotes}delivery models{close_quotes} that can facilitate change at the local community-planning level. This paper develops the scientific basis within which to address urban planning and design as community facilitation, and as the management of ecological and human health.

Four criteria for randomness were developed, one distributional, two parametric and one entropic. Simulation was used to match the number of patient and therapist selections of combinations of the five variables across an entire session for parity in comparing simulated random data with actual psychotherapy data. In all cases, the significant statistical finding was that simulated random data meet the four criteria for randomness, while the actual patient and therapist psychotherapy data do not. We conclude that the vicissitudes of the items chosen for observation show non-random configurations and that patient and therapist variations of their communicative vehicles reflect inherent properties of emotional expression. These results support the view that human behavior is innately structured and patterned, and may be scientifically studied for non-random meanings and functions.","PeriodicalId":82877,"journal":{"name":"Systems research : the official journal of the International Federation for Systems Research","volume":"47 1","pages":"25-39"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1002/SRES.3850100403","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50990733","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
