The Metamorphosis Formula

This study introduces and explores the "Metamorphosis Formula," a theoretical framework designed to investigate structural and morphological transformations in language, shaped by technological advancements and the evolving demands of modern communication. Central to this research is the development of the theory of algorithmic grammar, which applies mathematical formulas to analyze linguistic transformations. These include changes induced by prefixes, infixes, and suffixes, as well as the innovative use of chromatic algorithms to highlight grammatical information through color-coding visually. The research integrates key concepts such as chromatic algorithms, the grammatical map, and the geometric architecture of information expression. It examines grammatical transformations at national and international levels, focusing on the origin and adaptation of grammatical elements across diverse languages. The study delves into the role of parentheses in grammatical structures and the adaptation of word roots in various linguistic contexts. Furthermore, it develops advanced formulas, including the tone formula, the comparative formula, the formula of grammatical time, and other grammatical correlations, such as addition, elimination, fusion, replacement, introduction, conjunction, semantic flexion, and changes in grammatical value. These are systematically integrated into a mathematical expression framework, encompassing grammatical agreement and other linguistic phenomena. The research also investigates the outcomes of fusion and conjunction processes in grammatical elements, analyzing relationships between determinant and determined, theme and rheme, anaphoric and cataphoric elements, and lexical deixis. These relationships are defined and visually represented within a mathematical system, offering a novel perspective on linguistic structures. Additionally, the study examines the processes of information distribution within grammatical elements, addressing their morphological, syntactic, propositional, and phrasal values. These processes are visually expressed and further represented through mathematical models, such as fractions, to enhance clarity and precision. The findings emphasize the utility of color as a tool for facilitating the rapid comprehension of grammatical information, with significant implications for education and natural language processing. By bridging linguistic theory with mathematical and visual methodologies, this research contributes to a deeper understanding of linguistic evolution and offers practical applications for improving communication efficiency in both academic and technological contexts. This study investigates the "Metamorphosis Formula," emphasizing its dependence on human creativity, intuition, and ethical judgment, which are vital for developing innovative linguistic theories that artificial intelligence (AI) cannot achieve independently. By employing complex algorithmic formulas, including chromatic and grammatical coding, the research analyzes and models the structural and morphological transformations of language, showcasing the need for interdisciplinary knowledge and personal experience. The work highlights the significance of contextual understanding, adaptability, and ethical considerations in the research process, where human judgment is essential for interpreting results and making informed decisions. Ultimately, the study underscores the limitations of AI in replicating these human attributes and advocates for the harmonious integration of human imagination with technological capabilities to fully unlock the potential of language research and its applications in education, natural language processing, and AI

Ecocentrism and Open Knowledge: A Unified Vision for Food, Health, and Environment from Traditional Wisdom

Traditional medicine practitioners across the globe approach food as having therapeutic potential and dietary routine as a way of preventive healthcare. Conventional systems like Ayurveda in India utilized a variety of herbs, spices, and components derived from both plants and animals in specific preparations for preventing and treating ailments. As these preparations are very particular about the source of raw materials, the preservation of the flora and fauna, and in broader terms, the biodiversity, is of paramount significance. Ancient knowledge in India emphasizes this aspect as well as promotes ecological empathy to respect nature and its inhabitants with an interest in their well-being. Sustainable improvement in the quality of life is interconnected with the preservation of nature and the addressing of environmental concerns. The teachings of Hindu sage Chattampi Swamikal underline ecological empathy with an open knowledge approach as the foundation for sustainable growth and holistic well-being. The authors opinioned that an eco-centric approach with open access to knowledge seems crucial for achieving sustainable development, especially concerning food, health, and the environment

Causal layered analysis of the current state of inter-organizational knowledge sharing in Tehran smart city: the study of information and knowledge organizations

The current research aims to analyze the causes affecting the formation of inter-organizational knowledge (assets) sharing in the information and knowledge organizations located in Tehran's smart city. In terms of the purpose, this research is applied research with a descriptive nature, which was conducted with a mixed-method approach. In the qualitative part, the causes affecting the current state of inter-organizational knowledge sharing of organizations in the field of information and knowledge, such as the National Library and Archives of I.R. Iran, the Iranian Research Institute for Information Science and Technology (IranDoc), the organizations in charge of the public libraries and the university libraries of the country in Tehran was gathered through a semi-structured interview with 14 managers of information and knowledge organizations; In the quantitative part, the identified causes were validated using a researcher-made questionnaire using the Delphi technique (in two rounds) and the consensus opinion of 22 experimental experts. Data analysis was done in the qualitative part using layered causal analysis, and in the quantitative part, descriptive statistics indicators and Excel and SPSS software were used. The analysis of the data from the interviews led to the formation of 104 causes in the form of 39 causes in the litany layer, 25 causes in the systemic layer, 20 causes in the discourse layer, and 19 causes in the metaphor layer; After the second round of Delphi, 90 causes were validated in the form of 31 causes in the litany layer, 25 causes in the systemic layer, 19 causes in the discourse layer and 8 causes in the metaphor layer. In total, the causes of “Bipolar or hierarchical knowledge”, in the metaphor layer and “inability of organizations to resolve conflict of interests” and “lack of necessary infrastructure” in the systemic layer had the highest mean; The causes of “selection of senior managers of information and knowledge centers based on political orientation”, “lack of attention to becoming knowledge-based” and “viewpoint and approach of the organization leader” in the discourse layer had the next mean; The causes of “lack of common/centralized data and knowledge base and platform” and “non-implementation of knowledge management and interorganizational communication” in the litany layer were ranked third in terms of the mean. To solve the problems and challenges of the current state, it is necessary to design and implement scenarios with the priority of creating discourse and changing the metaphors of the actors in this field, focusing on solving the problems caused by the bipolar or hierarchical knowledge metaphor and the discourses of the leadership approach of organizations, the selection of managers, and the knowledge-based approach
