“Research is dangerous: You might discover something new …”
Welcome to the FORMWELTen-Institute for renewing systemic research.
Our aim is to promote specialized, renewing, innovative research projects and applications within and from the fields of humanities Systems Theory and scientific / mathematical Theory of Complex Systems.
The main focus and central motive of our work is the development and construction of bridges in space and time, in communication and mind, to carry both science and humanities into the future, to evaluate achievements effectively, to critically analyze what needs to be provided and shape the world in an active cooperation.

Abstract: It is not surprising that one of the most complex phenomena in nature is that of ageing. It does not only bear biological interest, but it is also associated with cultural, psychological, social and even philosophical issues. It is therefore to be expected that a great deal of research is… more ›

“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”
One of our first goals is to support the establishment of the FORMWELT Foundation, whose mission is to promote educational projects, technological developments and economic and ecological problem solutions worldwide, by learning and working with the FORMWELT language developed by Ralf Peyn and Gitta Peyn.
FORMWELT is a semantically and formally self-sufficient linguistic system, a coding language for language(s) and meaning that can be spoken by man and machine.
FORMWELT has integrated the basic concepts of Systems Theory and fundamentals of logic and the like, and is therefore well-suited to promote, support and optimize systemic research and systemic thinking in general.
The FORMWELT Foundation will take the responsibility to help people worldwide to arrive in the age of globalization, digitalization, algorithmization and reality emulation, so that they are able to deal with higher levels of complexity and to develop a healthy contingency awareness.
The evolution of people in the world is changing the world. For thousands of years, the world was capable of dealing with the unconscious development of humans. We have changed this balance of power. Now we must learn to become aware, to observe ourselves, to recognize the complex consequences of our actions and to shape ourselves and assume our responsibilities towards the world.

“The limits of my language are the limits of my world.”
We support and promote the project FORMWELT Online.
FORMWELT Online is intended to become the Internet platform that enables people and Artificial Intelligences around the world to work with FORMWELT, interact, develop projects and curricula, and learn together.
Imagine FORMWELT Online as a concise and circular form of Wikipedia and a smart version of Facebook.
At FORMWELT Online, for the first time, humans are enabled to play the differential/self-referential game of language that Wittgenstein dreamed of.
FORMWELT is no ontology language and (relevant for AI researchers) also no expert system.
FORMWELT Online is a transdisciplinary and transformative platform of exchange, methodology, theory and review for the humanities and natural sciences.

Elena-Maria Beenen, M. A., born 1983, sociologist, humanities scholar and project coordinator of two federal projects in the field of education, where she is primarily responsible for making structural analyses of the situation on the ground and initiating appropriate, tailor-made offers. This includes, for example, information about the education system for migrant people. Against this background, she can give us an insight into how normative goals can be implemented in programmes. (For example, parent education and recognition through dialogue improves the psychosocial situation of marginalised groups).
She is currently working on the fictional foundations of sociological systems theory and on a systems theory research method. Furthermore, she gives seminars in the field of philosophy of science in sociology as well as sociology of science at the Center for Philosophy of Science at the WWU Münster.

Marios Kyriazis qualified as a medical doctor (MD) from the University of Rome, Italy, and after preclinical work in the USA he worked as a clinician in acute medicine in Cyprus, and the UK. He subsequently qualified as a Gerontologist with interest in the biology of aging and became a Chartered Member of the academic organisation ‘Royal Society of Biology’ in the UK. He also has a post-graduate qualification in Geriatric Medicine from the Royal College of Physicians of London.
Other appointments include Member of the Board of Trustees at the Mediterranean Graduate School of Applied Social Cognition, affiliate researcher at the Evolution, Complexity and Cognition Group, University of Brussels, Expert assessor, (European Commission), Member Biological Complex Systems Alliance, and a Ronin Research Scholar. He has a portfolio of over 1000 articles, papers and lectures in the field of healthy ageing.
Currently, he works with the ELPIs Foundation for Indefinite Lifespans, a serious endeavour to study the elimination of age-related degeneration. The research is focused on transdisciplinary models and explores common principles between biology, complexity sciences, evolution, cybernetics, neurosciences, and techno-cultural elements. Areas of interest include robustness and degeneracy in organic systems, fragility and redundancy, repair processes (including self-repair), hormesis and environmental enrichment in aging, and immortalisation of somatic cells.
One particular project is a concept developed by Dr Kyriazis, which is the ‘Law of Requisite Usefulness’. This states that agents which are useful in the evolution and adaptation of any system, are retained by that system. This concept can be applied in the specific case of humans who are actors within a highly technological and hyper-connected society, forming part of a Global Brain. This aspect of his work led to his nomination for the Nobel prize in Medicine 2017.

Following a career in the field of engineering, Dr. Wallis' work in organizational consulting took a dramatic change when his doctoral dissertation research at Fielding Graduate University found that our “normal” understanding of the social sciences was inhibiting our collective advance as scholars, practitioners, and as a society.
Finding that methods for organizational consulting, evaluation, policy, and social change only reach their goals about 20% of the time, Dr. Wallis conducted breakthrough research showing that this limitation is not entirely due to lack of collaboration or lack of data; rather, it is due to a previously unrecognized lack of “structured” understanding, or knowledge.
His “science of conceptual systems (SOCS) approach to the structure of knowledge” has led to dozens of peer reviewed publications as well as popular publications spanning multiple fields, culminating in the highly accessible textbook “Practical Mapping for Applied Research and Program Evaluation” (Sage).
His methods enable scholars and practitioners to evaluate theoretical models and determine how useful they might be in practical application; thus opening the door to accelerating their improvement and rapidly doubling the effectiveness of the social sciences to improve the lives of billions.
He currently serves as Director of the Foundation for the Advancement of Social Theory (FAST), supporting emerging scholars in their efforts to develop and synthesize theories within and between disciplines for improved practical results.
