evKnowledge - A new vision of Reality and the Universe


evKnowledge - The Evolutionary Knowlegde Project

Presentation of the Evolutionary Knowledge Project

evKnowledge is a research project born from the desire to build a unitary and global representation of Reality, from the most elementary levels, in the deep of the world of infinitely small, to the most complex and extended ones, the cosmos, the life, the Universe.
We want to achieve a deeper integration of the areas of investigation, to promote the construction of a unified conceptual framework and a set of integrated cognitive tools, to reach a real progress in the understanding of Reality.
The object of this research, which aims to extend the evolutionary approach to all areas of investigation of Nature, is the Reality itself, a process of continuous and incessant of formation (creation and evolution), and its manifestation, the Universe, seen as an evolving complex whole.
The development of new concepts, new theories, and, together, the recovery of the precious cultural heritage of humanity, can produce decisive synergistic effects in the process of building a less dogmatic and fragmented knowledge.

The Evolutionary Knowledge Base

The Evolutionary Knowledge Base Project is aimed at creating a knowledge base, a web resource that can collect and organize the material produced within the Evolutionary Knowledge research area, which includes Evolutionary Physics and Evolutionary Metaphysics.
The construction of the knowledge base is supported by the development of a web application for the exploration semantic networks, able to facilitate access to key concepts, bibliographical references and supporting documentation, to collect and organize a complex and articulated subject.

Research Areas

Research Areas
Research Areas are ways of expression of the research, construction the knowledge base and technological and artistic creation.
They represent the core sections which ideally consists of the Evolutionary Knowledge Project, both in theoretical and applied.
Taken together, these five areas covering virtually all fields of human knowledge and human interest and provide an integrated picture of the various representations of cognitive and experiential reality.
Evolutionary Knowledge (Evolutionary Physics and Evolutionary Metaphysics), Adventure of Knowledge, Discipline of the Force, artEvolution, evTek - Evolutive Technologies

Explore the Knowledge Base via the Semantic Maps Viewer - SMV

Semantic Maps Viewer

Try a new experience! Explore the Evolutionary Knowledge Base through the Semantic Maps Viewer - SMV. A web resource that allows you to explore the land of Evolutionary Knowledge, among concepts and relations that form semantic networks organized in thematic maps.
A succession of maps organized in successive levels of hierarchy will help you go down from the more general level of the Universal Reality, through increasingly specific and detailed areas, up to the very foundations of Nature and the Universe.
Principles, physical entities, natural phenomena, cognitive developments, all concepts are represented by a network of graphical objects, allowing easy access to the pages that form the Evolutionary Knowledge Base and, together, to capture the structure and internal organization of the Evolutionary Knowledge System.

How to join the Project

If you wish to get involved in the development of the Project, you can provide your voluntary contribution in various ways:
- join the discussion on "hot topics" through the blog evknowledge,
- contribute to the revision and completion of pages of this wiki
- proposing innovative ideas, not canonical, potentially able to generate significant developments in the evolution of knowledge,
- by directly joining the research activities.
In particular, we need general scientific knowledge and specialized skills in physics and mathematics, informatics and computation. Other research areas need contributions about humanistic themes, philosophy, religion, social sciences, etc..
If you want to join or need more information, please contact the following mail box: info@evknowledge.org.

How to support the Project

We are evaluating the opportunity to collect small donations to support the research activities. The contributions would be used partly to front the costs to developing and mantaining our websites, to effective disseminate the findings of our research (which are granted with a Creative Commons license), to promote the interaction of researchers and stakeholders, and in part to directly support the research activities, to acquire adequate computing power for simulations, and so on.

The evolutionary vision of Reality and the Universe

Old questions and modern ones are intertwined in the mind. It is a long history that has accompanied the mankind in his evolution. A story of survival, in search of food, security, power. The tension towards life, towards the infinite, the eternal. An history of small steps toward knowledge, and sudden revolutions that change the entire look of reality.

Eyes that scan the sky, to understand the present and explore the future, who look at life around us, who interrogate signs, eyes wishing certainty, in the chaotic and immense sea of existence. More consistent images take form in the minds of men who dare to scan the mystery, who know how preserve what is valuable and abandon what they know is braking.
Now we are facing an immense and precious legacy, ideas, diagrams, models and theories. We thank these men and women who wanted and were able to build the knowledge so far, including brilliant insights, monumental mistakes, impeccable deductions and accidental discoveries. Thank you for your dedication, sometimes unconscious, toward discovery, to understand the world, the life, the Man.
We thank the West and the East, for the complementarity of approaches and results, we thank scientists and humanists, artists and technicians, patrons and obscurantist, for the great adventure that has brought us so far, to enjoy this great shimmering mosaics, the human knowledge.
A mosaic, while embracing the whole landscape, from the human microcosm to the physical macrocosm, unfortunately, still shows large gaps and areas of inconsistency. Sometimes seems to miss that sense of unity and universality, the human spirit is searching turning to God. Many are the attempts, both on the scientific and on the humanistic / spiritual side, reconciling very distant aspects, phenomena apparently alien among them.
Many more the attempts to understand the phenomena closer to the immediate reality, to the world that we explore with our internal and external senses, and with the innumerable and surprising fruits of technology. An unresolved tension is leading us towards the exasperated analysis, moving away, at the same time, from the unifying synthesis.
It is with humility that, with this work, in the presence of such a legacy, we turn to the search for the unity and the depth of the vision of Nature in its becoming, creation and incessant evolution.
But it's also with a little presumption, while respecting and building on that tradition, we dare to venture into territory already beaten, with new and disenchanted eyes, hoping to catch small signs, if not definitive evidences, of a larger pattern of universal and essential principles, that can help us to see reality as it is.
