Gestalteconomy: A Paradigm for Knowledge Management

This article explores the concept of gestalteconomy as a new paradigm for knowledge management. It challenges conventional economic dogmas and highlights the importance of reconciling economy, ecology, and social factors. The article also discusses the application of thermodynamics and Prigogine's principles to economic and social systems. It argues that negentropic flows can reverse the entropic decline of an open system, leading to development.

  1. “GESTALTECONOMY, A PARADIGM FOR KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT” Pr. André Maïsseu U.V.S.Q.

  2. “Gestalteconomy, paradigm for Knowledge Management” THE CONVENTIONAL FUNCTION OF PRODUCTION Y = f(K, L) DESCRIBES A CLOSED SYSTEM OF LIMITED RESOURCES RUNS BY REVERSIBLE PROCESSES BASED ON THE USE OF AN HAMILTONIAN MOVING “NATURALLY” TO EQUILIBRIUM; SOME PARTIAL LOCAL INSTABILITITES COULD BE EXPLAINED BY NON-LINEAR MATHEMATICALS FUNCTIONS

  3. “Gestalteconomy, paradigm for Knowledge Management” THE APPLICATION OF THE CONVENTIONAL ECONOMIC DOGMAS DOES NOT FIT WITH AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ABLE TO RECONCILE ECONOMY, ECOLOGY AND SOCIAL.

  4. “Gestalteconomy, paradigm for Knowledge Management” AS ANY SYSTEM, ECONOMIC SYSTEM HAS TO FOLLOW LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS AND PRIGOGINE PRINCIPLES. THE ENTROPY SUCH A SYSTEM INCREASES INDEFINITELY ... UNTIL IT COLLAPSES (DUE TO POLLUTION, EXHAUSTING OF NATURAL RESOURCES, EXPLODING DEMOGRAPHY, etc.)

  5. “Gestalteconomy, paradigm for Knowledge Management” THESE DOGMAS DESCRIBE AN ENTROPIC SYSTEM RUNNING TO THE FINAL CATASTROPHE

  6. “Gestalteconomy, paradigm for Knowledge Management” THEY ARE THE IDEOLOGICAL BASES OF THE NEOMALTHUSIANS WHO ARE PRESENTLY RUNNING THE COLLECTIVE MIND OF THE PLANET DECISION MAKERS WITH AN UNIQUE CONCERN : HOW TO SLOWDOWN AN ENTROPIC SYSTEM RUNNING UNAVOIDABLY TO THE FINAL CATASTROPHE ?

  7. “Gestalteconomy, paradigm for Knowledge Management” IS IT POSSIBLE TO AGREE WITH SUCH PESSIMISTIC DETERMINISTIC “LAW” ?

  8. “Gestalteconomy, paradigm for Knowledge Management” “This image of the inexorable death of the universe suggested by the second principle ..... this idea that, because of the very nature of things, the only possible and ultimate future for man is the annihilation of things, has infiltrated like paralysis through our entire culture” leads L. Brillouin to wonder “How is it possible to understand life if the whole world is governed by a law like the second principle of thermodynamics, which points towards death and annihilation?”

  9. “Gestalteconomy, paradigm for Knowledge Management” THERMODYNAMICS IS UNIVERSALLY APPLICABLE ... EVEN TO ANY ECONOMIC / SOCIAL SYSTEM

  10. “Gestalteconomy, paradigm for Knowledge Management” PRIGOGINE : THE EVOLUTION OF ANY SYSTEM DEPENDS ON WHETHER THE VALUE OF S (ENTROPY) IS NEGATIVE OR POSITIVE: S = Si + Se < / > 0 THERE IS DEVELOPMENT IF AND ONLY IF : │ Se│> Si

  11. “Gestalteconomy, paradigm for Knowledge Management” IN ANY OPEN SYSTEM NEGENTROPIC FLOWS COULD REVERSE FROM THE FATAL DISASTER. Se < 0 (NEGENTROPY) IS IT POSSIBLE FOR AN ECONOMIC / SOCIAL SYSTEM ?

  12. “Gestalteconomy, paradigm for Knowledge Management” A second approach to the concept of evolution has developed in line with a view opposed to the Carnot/Clausius principle. In biology, as in sociology, the concept of evolution appears to be closely associated with a process of organization which can lead to the creation of increasingly complex structures. Whereas the extension of the thermodynamic principle translates into the progressive dissolution of a pre-established order - ‘the golden age’ - in a spreading chaos, the biological concept of evolution is oriented in the opposite direction. This was observed by H. Bergson when he stated that “duration means invention, creation of forms, the continuous elaboration of what is absolutely new”.

  13. “Gestalteconomy, paradigm for Knowledge Management” PRIGOGINE : « DO TWO IRREDUCTIBLE TYPES OF PHYSICAL LAW EXIST, ONE CONCERNING INANIMATE MATTER AND THE SECOND LIVING MATTER ? »

  14. “Gestalteconomy, paradigm for Knowledge Management” WHAT IS ENTROPY ? STATE A STATE B E = W + Q  S  ORDER = n E = W  S = 0 ORDER = 1 The total loss of efficiency is a measure of the increase in entropy. (de Rosnay)

  15. “Gestalteconomy, paradigm for Knowledge Management” IS IT POSSIBLE TO MOVE FROM « A » TO « B » (SHANNON PERFECT STATE) IN BY-PASSING CLAUSSIUS’s THERMODYNAMICAL FATALITY (THE « DREAMED » SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT)

  16. “Gestalteconomy, paradigm for Knowledge Management” THE ANSWER : THE SECOND PRINCIPLE OF THERMODYNAMICS AND THE ANALOGY BETWEEN INFORMATION AND NEGENTROPY

  17. “Gestalteconomy, paradigm for Knowledge Management” THE UNSOLVED MAXWELL « DEVIL » PARADOX THE « MAXWELL » DEVIL MAY INCREASE ORDER ENTROPY (CLAUSIUS DEFINITION) WITHOUT WORK !!!
