<p><strong>A scientific project to develop a future not scientific method to replace scientific method and traditional mathematics. The method to be developed is to be highly selective and inclusive, economically effective, (probably) requiring to be interdisciplinary to be published. BitCoin isn't money, Uber isn't taxi, car isn't telega, not science is not science. Not science is like science based on mathematics, but a different kind of mathematics, with an algorithm that is "not logic".</strong></p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://science.vporton.name/2021/10/09/not-science-a-new-method-to-gain-knowledge-that-is-not-science/" target="_blank">Current draft.</a></p><h2>The trouble</h2><p>The science academia of the world failed making itself dependent on big greedy publishers like Elsevier, America dependent on for example poor Russians doing scientific research for them, poors with no money to publish but exclusive right to publish, so being able even one poor man to fail the entire world economy by a tiny mistake, too much reliance on <a href="https://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/crackpot.html" target="_blank">Crackpot Index</a> which by its own criterion is a crackpot manuscript so making for a smart amateur even easier to destroy the science, no “scientific” acceptance of known to be true ideas like that electromagnetic waves sometimes harm brain, other scientific frauds, etc. So, now the world economy is a failure. The main part of this failure is no doubt wrong management of science.</p><h2>Past work</h2><p>I was trying to invent sophisticated economical and IT methods to improve science. But now I suppose that the right method to save science is to refuse science.</p><h2>Ideas</h2><p>It is all based on a very simple theorem (not "not theorem" :-) yet) that I discovered recently.</p><p>The theorem isn't difficult, but the idea is not just to have this theorem and not to use it, but to apply it to the economy of scientific research and publication.</p><p><br></p><p>The idea should be further improved and become more exact and specialized (particular):</p><ul><li>We should try to create a variant of mathematics where ethics is a primary concept.</li><li>The entire question is which publications to receive finances and which not to.</li><li class="ql-indent-1">Make it easier to publish?</li><li class="ql-indent-1">To do this, reduce the number of scientific publications (by some new kind of an ethical standard?) to reduce competition?</li><li class="ql-indent-1">Change ethics of scientific funds?</li><li>What else?</li></ul><p>So in “Not Science” (like Uber is not taxi, BitCoins isn’t money, car is not a telega, etc.) that I am trying to develop the expected properties are:</p><ul><li>No fact-checking: Some things that are not proved facts can be published on-equal (with the same amount of grants and editorial scrutinity) with facts.</li><li>Some facts (even from the usual pure mathematics) cannot be published, because not conforming to new ethical rules I am developing now.</li><li>Not logic: Logic can be defined as adding at every step a new proved statement while keeping the current set of statements non-contradictory. In my “not logic” we indeed can add a statement that contradicts to other “facts”, but my algorithm that is not logic is required to ensure that the false statement will be eventually removed. In concise math terms: “Logic” is consistent, “not logic” isn’t but it’s eventually consistent.</li><li>It seems that we should make possible publication ONLY of interdisciplinary research. (“Interdisciplinary” is yet to be defined in precise mathematical terms.) So, we could make easier publishing my “<a href="https://science.vporton.name/2021/10/06/algebraic-general-topology-book/" target="_blank">actions of ordered semigroups</a>” because it connects semigroups (algebra) with general topology, by eliminating non-interdisciplinary competitors. I follow my idea of ethics: Ethics is connecting together two models (e.g. the interests of a scientific advisor with interests of the researchers) in such a way that one of two models benefits (not harm) the other. In mathematics this may mean that one of two branches of mathematics is proved to benefit the others (some connection that cannot be made without resorting to use another branch of mathematics).</li></ul><h2>Research plan</h2><ul><li>Formal not logic based on ethics and/or multidisciplinarity.</li><li>Informal description of new ethics of science and mathematics.</li><li>Economical research.</li><li>Implementation of the new model in blockchain.</li><li>Grass root campaign to implement the model in practice.</li></ul>
