    Il diario dell'abate Fiorini, steso da un osservatorio centrale della città, come la Cattedrale di Urbino, rimasto inedito per due secoli, mostra la trasformazione politica, sociale e religiosa impressa dalle truppe di Bonaparte sulle terre dell'ex Ducato. Originale il "miracolo" del santo patrono, gestito dalle autorità religiose e laiche prima per riprendere il controllo delle campagne, percorse dall'insorgenza, poi per affermare sulla scena urbana i nuovi leader democratici

    Attraverso lo studio della vicenda del Cinema Turreno di Perugia, il libro approfondisce il tema della riqualificazione dei grandi contenitori urbani dismessi all'interno della città storica. Nella prima parte il libro indaga il processo storico, costruttivo e trasformativo dell'antico teatro (poi cinema), attraverso la restituzione di modelli tridimensionali di analisi geo-morfologica del manufatto nel contesto urbano. Il contributo è il primo testo che ricompone per intero la storia del teatro perugino e i documenti ad oggi disponibili sull'opera architettonica. Nella seconda parte il testo affronta il tema del progetto di riqualificazione architettonica e urbana all'interno della città storica attraverso l'esito dell'esperienza didattica del Laboratorio di Composizione Architettonica 3, tenuto dal prof. Fabrizio Fiorini e di cui tutor l'architetto Angela Fiorelli. Le differenti ipotesi mirano alla conservazione della memoria storica del manufatto e del suo significato identitario per la comunità, non rinunicando all'opportunità di creare una nuova polarità urbana per il centro antico della città

    The Entropy Conundrum: A Solution Proposal

    In 2004, physicist Mark Newman, along with biologist Michael Lachmann and computer scientist Cristopher Moore, showed that if electromagnetic radiation is used as a transmission medium, the most information-efficient format for a given 1-D signal is indistinguishable from blackbody radiation. Since many natural processes maximize the Gibbs-Boltzmann entropy, they should give rise to spectra indistinguishable from optimally efficient transmission. In 2008, computer scientist C.S. Calude and physicist K. Svozil proved that "Quantum Randomness" is not Turing computable. In 2013, academic scientist R.A. Fiorini confirmed Newman, Lachmann and Moore's result, creating analogous example for 2-D signal (image), as an application of CICT in pattern recognition and image analysis. Paradoxically if you don’t know the code used for the message you can’t tell the difference between an information-rich message and a random jumble of letters. This is an entropy conundrum to solve. Even the most sophisticated instrumentation system is completely unable to reliably discriminate so called "random noise" from any combinatorically optimized encoded message, which CICT called "deterministic noise". Entropy fundamental concept crosses so many scientific and research areas, but, unfortunately, even across so many different disciplines, scientists have not yet worked out a definitive solution to the fundamental problem of the logical relationship between human experience and knowledge extraction. So, both classic concept of entropy and system random noise should be revisited deeply at theoretical and operational level. A convenient CICT solution proposal will be presented

    To Govern the Future We Need Anticipation First: No Anticipation No System Antifragility

    Current economic and social problems are multiscale-order deficiencies, which cannot be fixed by the usual, traditional hierarchical approach alone, by doing what we do better or more intensely, but rather by changing the way we do. The major crises of the last ten years (financial, ecological, social, medical, and even moral) illustrate the urgent need for an anticipatory perspective. Furthermore, as the experiences in the latest fifty years have shown, unpredictable changes can be very disorienting at enterprise level. They need to be handled, as opportunities, as positively as possible (Taleb, 2015). In describing the living, regardless of its complexity, from monocell to the whole human being, descriptions based on the deterministic understanding of the world and the corresponding reductionist model fail to capture the defining characteristic of life: the ability to anticipate. In a continuously changing operational environment, even if operational parameters cannot be closely pre-defined at system planning and design level, we need to be able to plan and to design antifragility self-organizing, self-regulating and self-adapting system quite easily anyway. Today, operational and environmental conditions are continuously changing at an increasing rate. While the processing power doubles every 1.8 years and the amount of data doubles every 1.2 years, the complexity of networked systems is growing even faster. Attempts to optimize hierarchical systems in the traditional top-down way will be less and less effective, and cannot be done in real time (Fiorini, 2016). The logical answer is to use distributed (self-) control, i.e. bottom-up self-regulating systems. Advanced Cybernetics (i.e. extended system theory) and Complexity Theory tell us that it is actually feasible to create resilient social and economic order by means of self-organization, self-regulation, and self-governance (Ostrom, 1990; 2010). Nevertheless, to achieve self-organization, self-regulation in a competitive, arbitrary-scalable system reference framework, we need application resilience and antifragility at system level first. But with no anticipation, we have no system learning. In turn, with no learning, we have no system antifragility. In fact, current human made application and system are quite vulnerable and fragile to unexpected perturbation because Statistics by itself can fool you, unfortunately (Taleb & Douady, 2015). What Nassim Taleb has identified and calls "antifragility" is that category of things that not only gain from chaos but need it in order to survive and flourish and proposes that systems be built in an antifragility manner. The antifragility is beyond the resilient system. In turn, the resilient is beyond the robust system. The robust fails when perturbations are out of its preprogramed operative range. The resilient resists shocks and stays the same. The antifragility gets better and better. To face the problem of multiscale ontological uncertainty management (Lane & Maxfield, 2005) we need application resilience and antifragility at system level first. With antifragility, system homeostatic operating equilibria can emerge out of a self-organizing landscape of self-structuring attractor points (Fiorini, 2015). Current scientific computational and simulation classic systemic tools and most sophisticated instrumentation system (developed under the positivist, reductionist paradigm and the "continuum hypothesis", CH for short) are still totally unable capture and to reliably discriminate so called "random noise" (RN) from any combinatorically optimized encoded message, called "deterministic noise" (DN) by computational information conservation theory (CICT) (Fiorini, 2014). This is the information double-bind (IDB) dilemma in current science, and nobody likes to talk about it (Fiorini, 2016). How does it come that scientists 1.0 (statisticians) are still in business without having worked out a definitive solution to the problem of the logical relationship between experience and knowledge extraction? We need to extend our systemic tools to solve this IDB dilemma first, and then to open a new era of effective, real cognitive machine intelligence (Wang et al., 2016). Proactive behavior can to some extent be modeled or simulated. If we want to support proactive behavior, prevention, for instance, we need to define a space of possibilities and to deal with variability. In fact, it is possible to conceive a convenient basic schema for Ontological Uncertainty Management (OUM) System as in Fiorini (2015). The information process describing the dynamics of reality to anticipation means to acknowledge that deterministic and non­deterministic processes are complementary. A dynamic ontological perspective can be thought of as an emergent, natural transdisciplinary reality level (TRL) (Nicolescu, 1992; 1996) from, at least, a dichotomy of two fundamental, coupled, irreducible, and complementary computational subsystems: (A) reliable unpredictability, and (B) reliable predictability subsystem respectively. From a Top-Down (TD) management perspective, the reliable predictability concept can be referred to the traditional system reactive approach (lag subsystem, closed logic, to learn and prosper) and operative management techniques. The reliable unpredictability concept can be associated with the system proactive approach (lead subsystem, open logic, to survive and grow) and strategic management techniques. In fact, to behave realistically, the system must guarantee both Logical Aperture (to survive and grow) and Logical Closure (to learn and prosper), both fed by environmental "noise" (better... from what human beings call "noise"). Anticipatory computation, inspired by anticipation processes in the living, involves learning, not only in reaction to a problem, but as a goal­action­oriented activity. The present contribution offers an innovative and original solution proposal to the problem of multiscale ontological uncertainty management for complex system by anticipation. Due to its intrinsic self-scaling properties, this system approach can be applied at any system scale: from single quantum system application development to full system governance strategic assessment policies and beyond. The reason for this modeling flexibility is the postulate that any complex system is an arbitrary multiscale system of purposive actors within continuous change. A new lesson for the children of the Anthropocene Era
