The Tools of Pericology: Ecosynpraxia and Holopraxia

Bio Inspired Pericology

Ecosynpraxia: Inspiration from Nature

Ecosynpraxy is the methodological core of Pericology, drawing its essence from the cooperative dynamics observed in flora and fauna. It transforms these natural models into intuitive and practical tools for anticipating and preventing biological hazards. This approach allows us to rethink human collaboration, particularly in situations where communication is restricted or decisions must be made quickly. By mimicking the collective survival strategies of ecosystems, Ecosynpraxy offers accessible solutions that strengthen resilience against biological threats, while remaining rooted in a pragmatic vision.

Role of Ecosynpraxia

Ecosynpraxia forms the bio-inspired foundation of Pericology, focusing on managing biological hazards through simple and effective solutions. It does not assume ideal human cooperation, but adapts to the real-world constraints of complex environments, such as teams under pressure or fragile ecosystems. By drawing on natural dynamics, it promotes rapid anticipation of biological crises, while encouraging more fluid and responsive human collaboration. This branch also supports other aspects of Pericology by offering a perspective rooted in nature.

Interdisciplinary Pericology

Holopraxya: A Global Vision

Holopraxy takes a holistic, interdisciplinary approach to anticipating and managing complex non-biological perils, such as socioeconomic, cultural, or systemic crises. By integrating biological, human, and systemic dynamics, it offers a unified approach that transcends traditional silos. This branch excels in analyzing complex interactions between different actors and environments, enabling the identification of warning signs of major crises. Holopraxy is distinguished by its ability to offer practical and tailored solutions while maintaining rigor in anticipating emerging challenges.

Role of Holopraxya

As the central hub of Pericology, Holopraxy plays a key role in unifying the discipline's diverse approaches. It integrates Ecosynpraxy to address the biological aspects of mixed perils, while also covering a wide range of non-biological crises, from sociocultural tensions to systemic dysfunctions. Through its sub-branches—Sociosynpraxy, Technosynpraxy, and Cyclosynpraxy—it offers unique flexibility in addressing complex challenges. Holopraxy fosters systemic resilience by offering versatile solutions that adapt to evolving contexts and specific needs.

Rethinking Human Collaboration in the Face of Perils

An essential complementarity

Ecosynpraxy and Holopraxy form an inseparable duo at the heart of Pericology. Ecosynpraxy, with its roots in natural dynamics, excels in the management of biological perils, while Holopraxy expands this vision to encompass non-biological and mixed crises. Together, they enable proactive threat anticipation, drawing on collaborative principles inspired by nature and adapted to human realities. This complementarity guarantees a balanced approach, capable of responding to a wide variety of challenges while remaining faithful to the spirit of Pericology.

Towards systemic resilience

By combining the bio-inspired approach of Ecosynpraxy and the integrated vision of Holopraxy, Pericology offers a robust framework for observing, preventing, and adapting to crises in a constantly changing world. These two branches work together to strengthen systemic resilience, offering practical tools that anticipate perils before they become critical. Whether facing biological threats or complex systemic challenges, Pericology fosters enlightened human cooperation, guided by the lessons of nature and a pragmatic vision of the future.
