| Tiivistelmä: | In Synergetics, Buckminster Fuller defined a consistent approach to modeling Universe as spatial systems composed of events and relations. This paper will summarize the methodology and present the system properties (or laws) that are an outgrowth of this approach. For Fuller, Universe was all that humanity perceives. As Universe is perceived, distinctions appear. Each distinction defines a system, the first division of Universe. Since the system is distinct from Universe, it must divide space in two, whether the system is outside us (a physical experience) or inside us (a metaphysical thought). In order to divide Universe in two, a system must contain at least four events. This is because one event is a point, two a lin and three a plane. It requires four events to divide space into two. |
