about all mental characteristics; therefore it seeks to incorporate all human endeavors under its domain. Since characteristicology is based on the tenets of science and engineering, it foresees an evolutionary trend in ethics and all intelligent endeavors for as long as there are intelligent minds in the universe.

        I do not believe that a universal aesthetics is possible because artistic taste is personal. Therefore, I believe that a universal aesthetics is impossible.

The Science of Synergics

Synergics is based on the fusion of quantum chance and logic. Synergics would not be possible without quantum chance and logic. Quantum chance by itself cannot give rise to synergics, and logic by itself cannot give rise to synergics. Synergics is the science that creates new phenomena through synergy. In short, synergics is the science of synergy.

        There are no foreseeable limits to the development of the science of synergics. Synergics will grow along with the development of logic and quantum technology. The human brain is the ideal model of synergy. The human brain is a fusion of quantum chance and logic. There are no limits to the useful combinations of quantum chance and logic that are possible.

        I believe that synergics will prove to be the key to the conquest of the universe. The conquest of the universe through synergics will be achieved when the fusion of quantum chance and logic is successfully embodied in electronic circuitry.
