1. SHORT BIOGRAPHICAL NOTES
Gianfranco Minati, systems scientist, graduated in Mathematics from the University of Milan, Italy.
After the intense interdisciplinary collaboration with Professor Dimitris N. Chorafas (1926-2014)
https://www.weizmann.ac.il/feinberg/about/dimitris-n-chorafas-prize/about-foundation-and-prize
and http://www.weizmann.ac.il/WeizmannCompass/sections/people-behind-the-science/dimitris-n-
chorafas, he has switched from a position as executive in a large industrial-financial Italian group
(1979-1984) to research. He is founder and president of the Italian Systems Society. He is author,
co-author and editor of several academic publications. His current research interest focuses on 1)
Emergence and de-emergence; 2) Modelling processes of emergence by using Meta-Structures; 3)
The emerging of a post-Bertalanffy Systemics; 4) The Dynamic Usage of Models (DYSAM); 5)
Logical Openness; 6) Architecture and Design as the design of social meta-structures to influence
processes of emergence in social systems; 7) Prime numbers distribution in number theory, 8)
Artificial Unconscious for AI.
In the US he was Consulting Faculty at the Saybrook University, San Francisco, (professor Arne
Collen), adjunct faculty at the OHIO State University (OSU), (professor Larry Magliocca).

3. FIELDS OF INTEREST
Theoretical issues on Systems Science, such as: Architecture, Artificial Intelligence, Logical
Openness, Collective Behavior, Emergence, Ergodicity, Dynamic Usage of Models, Meta-structures,
Networks, Post-Bertalanffy Systemics, Multiple-Systems and Collective Beings, Quasi-Systems.
Current research projects relate to
▪ Emergent computation and computational emergence.
▪ Evolution and emergence.
▪ Emergence and de-emergence.
▪ Quasiness and theoretical incompleteness (quasi-systems when a system is not always a
system neither the same system) as freedom of becoming allowing emergence of coherence.
▪ Experimenting “Meta-structure in collective phenomena - Methodologies for modelling and
managing processes of self-organisation and emergence”.
▪ The emerging of a post-Bertalanffy Systemics (see publications below) based on concepts
like: Between (the mesoscopic middle way); Multiple and dynamic coherences, e.g.
synchronizations; Equivalence/non-equivalence; Individuality; Incompleteness; Induction of
properties; Irreversibility; Meta-structural properties; Methods and models to build strategies;
Networks; Non-causality; Non-invasiveness; Non-prescribability; Non-separability; Power
Laws; Pre-properties; Propagation; Quantum theories and concepts; Quasi properties;
Quasiness; Symmetry; Structural Dynamics; Structural regimes of validity; Topological
Dynamics; and Transient (see http://www.mdpi.com/journal/systems/special_issues/second-
generation-general-system-theory);
▪ Architecture and Design as the design of meta-structures to influence processes of emergence
in social systems. Self-architecture: influences of Architecture on social systems and
influences of social systems on Architecture;
▪ Establish a managerial culture consistent with science of complexity. Management for
corporations, medicine, families, schools with reference to the Dynamic Usage of Models
(DYSAM), see for instance, http://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007%2F978-1-4615-0753-
6_4
▪ Artificial Unconscious for AI.
