  Synergetics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Synergetics is a book by Buckminster Fuller, referring to the concept of either the output of a system not foreseen by the simple sum of the output of each system's part or simply, less used, another term for a negative entropy, or negentropy.
Synergetics is the name given to a system of self-discipline by Buckminster Fuller.
Synergetics is an industry thought leader in the area of technological innovation of competencies.

 Synergetics Collaborative (SNEC)
The Synergetics Collaborative (SNEC) was founded in 2002 as an organization to bring together a diverse group of people with an interest in Buckminster Fuller's Synergetics in face-to-face workshops, symposia, seminars, pow-wows, and other meetings to educate and support research and understanding of the many facets of Synergetics, its methods and principles.
Synergetics is multi-faceted: it involves geometric modeling, exploring inter-relationships in the facts of experience and the process of thinking.
Synergetics, in the broadest terms, is the study of spatial complexity, and as such is an inherently comprehensive discipline.

 Intro to Synergetics
These are differences at the level of definition, with synergetics having the advantage of more hindsight: since Euclid's day: science has shown solid matter to consist mostly of empty space.
In Bucky's case, synergetics served to anchor his thinking around a reference point external to any specific field, in a highly personalized and intuitive space, but without leading to a self-indulgent form of solipsism (on the contrary, he was one of the more outgoing philosophers of all time).
y striving for comprehensivity, synergetics gives its student a means to translate inputs and discoveries from many walks of life into an efficient storage and retrieval system.

 Reading Synergetics: Some Tips
Until one is determined to read Synergetics systematically (no one says you must read a book sequentially), one can get quite a lot out of the text by browsing it.
Synergetics is NOT a program which you plug into your head (it is not a super algorithm for understanding the Universe).
But the classic interpretation of Fuller's Synergetics is Amy Edmondson's "A Fuller Explanation: The Synergetic Geometry of Buckminster Fuller." Edmondson opens large sections of Synergetics to the previously frustrated reader.

 The Search for an Algebra or Calculus for Synergetics
This (ambitious) missing component in Synergetics is necessary to establish it as a complete theory.
The challenge is to be holistic (which is necessary in order to be true to Synergetics) and yet see clearly through the complexity that these diverse topics involve.
Perhaps Synergetics is "just" a fruitful perspective (or point-of-view) which makes some problems comprehensible, but it isn't all that Fuller claimed it to be.

 Synergetics   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
In the two large volumes of Synergetics, Fuller expounds a mathematical system which combines topology with vectorial geometry on the basis of 60-degree co-ordination, whereby energy patterns may be conceptualized in whole-number terms.
He insists that this is nothing less than nature's own co-ordinate system, and that synergetics thus equips us to "measure and co-ordinate omni-rationally, energetically, arithmetically, geometrically, chemically, volumetrically, crystallographically, vectorially, topologically, and energy-quantum-wise in terms of the tetrahedron" (Synergetics 201.01).
The other key area of concern is the domain of psychology, given that the subtitle of Synergetics is The Geometry of Thinking.

 The R. Buckminster Fuller FAQ: Synergetics
And by trying to do whole derivations entirely in synergetics (canonical) we accomplish the dual objectives of getting a clear geometrical representation and it's the one Nature is actually using in her transformings and intertransformings.
Synergetics is unlike traditional physics in its insistence on gravity as a circumferential pulling together (and thereby implosive), versus a radial explosiveness emanating from the center -- a 90 degree relationship.
So the Synergetics Constant is the ratio between the volume of a prime vector diagonaled cube in Synergetics (=3) and the corresponding cube in XYZ geometry (2nd-root of 2 to the third power).

Synergetics is Fuller's name for the geometry he advanced based on the patterns of energy that he saw in nature.
This is what he calls synergetics: an empirical mathematical system in which geometry and number mesh without fractions.
He recommends Kirby Urner's Synergetics on the Web for an excellent graphic introduction to Fuller's synergetic geometry, plus links to other sites describing synergetics--many with gorgeous color graphics.
