Short Elucidating Note 129: Extending the general true sustainability based structural falsification theory to capture win-win paradigm dynamics and horizontal and vertical win-win loops

Abstract

The general true sustainability based falsification theorem for paradigms of the form TS_i = XYZ tells us the following about the true sustainability balance that needs to be respected or violated: i) when it is fully respected we have full true sustainability conditions as the true sustainability gap is zero (SG = 0); ii) when it is partially respected we have partial sustainability and the presence of true sustainability gaps since SG > 0, but less than the critical threshold (SG < CRT); and hence, it has the seed that leads to the accumulation of true sustainability pressures that in the long term when they become binding will push partial sustainability paradigms towards full unsustainability; and iii) when it is fully violated we have full unsustainability, and the tendency towards paradigm collapse, shift or merger.  The aim of this paper is to express the theorem described above in terms of win-win situations and link it to structural consistency conditions with the idea of pointing out representations of both horizontal and vertical win-win dynamic loops across general and domain-specific levels of abstraction.
