THE IMPORTANCE OF MULTIMEDIA PRINCIPLE AND EMERGENCE PRINCIPLE FOR THE KNOWLEDGE CIVILISATION AGE

The paper discusses two basic principles derived from results of studies concerning foundations of micro-theories of knowledge creation; these are Multimedia Principle and Emergence Principle. Their epistemic, systemic and metaphysical importance is discussed, together with their relations to the episteme of technology treated as a separate cultural sphere. A spiral of evolutionary knowledge creation is presented, in which an extended Falsification Principle plays the role of an objectifying feedback; this spiral is related to an episteme of Evolutionary Constructive Objectivism proposed earlier for the coming knowledge civilisation age.

Mottness,phase string,and high-T_(c)superconductivity

It is a great discovery in physics of the twentieth century that the elementary particles in nature are dictated by gauge forces,characterized by a nonintegrable phase factor that an elementary particle of charge q acquires from A to B points:P exp(iq/hc∫A^(B)A_(μ)dxμ),where Aμis the gauge potential and P stands for path ordering.In a many-body system of strongly correlated electrons,if the so-called Mott gap is opened up by interaction,the corresponding Hilbert space will be fundamentally changed.A novel nonintegrable phase factor known as phase-string will appear and replace the conventional Fermi statistics to dictate the low-lying physics.Protected by the Mott gap,which is clearly identified in the high-Tc cuprate with a magnitude>1.5 e V,such a singular phase factor can enforce a fractionalization of the electrons,leading to a dual world of exotic elementary particles with a topological gauge structure.A non-Fermi-liquid“parent”state will emerge,in which the gapless Landau quasiparticle is only partially robust around the so-called Fermi arc regions,while the main dynamics are dominated by two types of gapped spinons.Antiferromagnetism,superconductivity,and a Fermi liquid with full Fermi surface can be regarded as the low-temperature instabilities of this new parent state.Both numerics and experiments provide direct evidence for such an emergent physics of the Mottness,which lies in the core of a high-Tc superconducting mechanism.

Emergence of China’s Entrepreneurship in the Digital Age:A Grounded Theory Analysis Based on Multiple Cases

Entrepreneurship has always been a key production factor in sustainable innovation and development of enterprises.However,individual entrepreneurship in the industrial economy era no longer satisfies the digital-age innovation demands of“being quick,stable and lasting,”revealing that the characteristics of digital-age entrepreneurship are crucial to understanding sources of continuous innovation.Therefore,this paper adopts grounded theory and qualitative research on four companies,and finds that digital innovation uncertainty is the key to the emergence of entrepreneurship,the social attributes of digital technology.The adaption of enterprise organizational structure triggers the transmission of entrepreneurship from the individual level to the organizational level,thus forming an ethics system that is dependent on entrepreneurs’behavioral process and that widely exists in organization groups.Organizational entrepreneurship consists of market adaptation,value orientation,self employment and community sense.The research is helpful in clarifying the relationship between digital technology and entrepreneurship,in enriching the connotation of digital-age entrepreneurship,helping managers to inspire potential entrepreneurship of organization members,and promoting continuous innovation of enterprises.

Knowledge

Natural disasters, war, civil unrest and other catastrophes continue to disrupt, and often seriously endanger, the lives of millions of people around the world. Whatever their cause, emergencies pose a particularly grave threat to health, nutritional status and very survival of infants and young children. Fortunately, much of the disability and death typical among this age group in such circumstances can be averted-provided proper feeding and care can be ensured.
