Strength in Action: Knowledge vs. Power in Human and Animal Engineering

Sergey Chebanov Power without knowledge Human and animal engineering

A man (like animals) is able to walk, breathe, take something knowing how he does it. An ordinary person will be able to use the multiplication table today, as he used yesterday, but he does not know (cannot multiplication table has not changed over night. without explain) why

A predator pursuing a prey can effectively preempt the prey by not being able to solve systems of equations

Winglets of an airplane wing cannot be calculated, but can be picked up when tested in a wind tunnel

alculation of gears is much more complicated than their selection or even production

All these examples shows the strength of the action in a situation when there is no knowledge of the situation. These are examples of what in the ancient tradition was designated as the opposition of and

The act of can be single or, at least, their number is finite when creating something, but is infinite, it suggests the possibility of ever more in-depth knowledge and an infinite increase in validity. Therefore, cannot be based on (cf. falsifiability by K.R. Popper) never will be completed. based on will not never start.

Skill is easier than knowledge Dividing a sheet of paper in half by folding the sheet is easier than by means of geometric construction.

Why are you so poor if you are so clever? The mind is important for research, but not for enrichment. Enriched thanks to the enterprise, resourcefulness, creativity associated with the will. The khmirs (in V.Naishul sense) are capable to do this.

The full cycle of intentional activity - Pre-design surveys ( ) - Invention, construction ( ) - Embodiment ( ) - Commissioning ( ) - Operation ( ) - Current repair ( ) - Reconstruction ( + ) - Dismantle ( ) - Remediation ( + techne)

The hypertrophied and autonomous form of pre-design surveys is a science.

The main result of activity in science is discovery, the main result of activity in technology is invention. In the late Soviet Union there were more than half of engineers worldwide, but they owned less than 10% of invention patents. However, these differences were best and most clearly recognized in Russia.

Founders: Minister of Finance of the Russian Empire S. Yu. Witte. Comrade Minister of Finance V.I. Kovalevsky and D.I. Mendeleev. Grand Gold Medal at the World Exposition in Montreal in 1903. Model for Technical University of North America (including Massachusetts Institute of Technology) Real engineering education.

In Soviet times Redone as a classical university. They began to teach the science of technology - techno-knowledge. Such instruction similar to instruction in swimming through lectures outside the pool. in technology is

However, in the few scientific-technical concerns (aircraft construction, electric welding) there is some optimal combination of and that allow to make inventions in areas that have just been formed in the field of knowledge.

Thank you for attention!
