Roads to Higher Dimensional Polytopic Projects: Reference Architectures

High dimensional reference architectures are presented to confront and prevail over the growing complexity of polytopic projects implementations. These projects target artificiality in materials, biological, cognitive, intelligent, and mathematical systems. The book highlights the polytopic projects' basic similarity despite the noticeable difference as domains of application. The roads to follow and the algebra of changing roads are emphasized. The book is divided into 9 chapters, with Chapter 1 introducing the Polytopic Roadmap to 4D and beyond. Chapter 2 refers to chemical systems, Chapter 3 to biological systems, Chapter 4 to cognitive systems, Chapter 5 to mathematical systems, Chapter 6 to application of formal concept analysis, Chapter 7 to polytopic engineering systems, Chapter 8 to polytopic industry, economy, society, and sustainability, and Chapter 9 to new domains of interest. Polytopic Roadmaps are proposed as a Method for experts from various fields to synthesize their thinking and capabilities into new projects implementation to face and surpass high complexity.

High dimensional reference architectures offer a powerful approach to tackling the increasing complexity of polytopic projects. These projects require a departure from conventional systems operations, equipment, methodologies, and organizations, as they will reach their limits for self-evolvability in high complexity conditions. Self-evolvable high complexity systems are built on the foundation of high dimensional polytopic reference architectures. Polytope encompasses a wide range of geometric shapes, including points, lines, polygons, and polyhedrons. Polytopic projects span diverse domains, including artificiality in materials, biological systems, cognitive systems, intelligent systems, and mathematical systems. The book highlights the fundamental similarities among these projects despite their distinct application domains. It emphasizes the importance of dialogue between processes and the duality of the non-Aristotelian Logic of Contradiction and Included Middle in different domains. Chapter 1 introduces the Polytopic Roadmap to 4D and beyond, highlighting the role of dialogue in duality. Chapter 2 explores polytopic chemistry, including supramolecular chemistry, metal organic frameworks (MOF), reaction networks, and other related topics. Chapter 3 delves into biological systems, focusing on biological dynamical hierarchies and quasi-species. Technological and scientific projects aimed at artificiality for cells and viruses are also discussed. Chapter 4 explores cognitive systems, covering developmental stages, formal and relational concepts analysis, and neural coding. The importance of 4D systems of systems and conceptual 4D-c is emphasized. Overall, the book provides a comprehensive overview of polytopic projects and their potential for addressing the challenges of complexity in various domains.
