Ontogenetic Thinking
Ontogenetics is a new method and approach for systematically analyzing systems. It is more comprehensive than standard system analysis and particularly designed to explore multi-level systems which are constituted from a multitude of individually acting elements combining dynamic behaviors and dynamic structures.
The method of ontogenetic thinking is a heuristic that can be helpful when analyzing a system.
The method of ontogenetic thinking can be applied to any real system.
How the method of ontogenetic thinking works can be demonstrated using a simple example. Let's take a technical device whose purpose, structure and origin are well known: The car.
The exemplary analysis of the car shows that the method of ontogenetic thinking is not particularly intellectually challenging. Nevertheless, it differs from the usual approach in science. Why?
