In all the fields in which Professor Maruyama has worked, his central interest has been in the heterogeneity of individual perceptual, cognitive, cogitative and epistemological patterns.
(a) While some individuals understood him immediately, many others did not, no matter how hard he tried to communicate.
(b) Some individuals found foreign countries to be a better match to their epistemological patterns than their own home country.
A specific example for (a) is the following: When his article article "The second cybernetics" (American Scientist ) was published readers immediately understood its quantitative side, i.e.
that changes can be amplified in causal loops.
However, the more important qualitative side, i.e. that interactive heterogeneity is indispensable, desirable and increasing went unnoticed.
Before its publication in American Scientist, the manuscript was rejected by ten other journals because this qualitative side was not understood by the journal editors. After its publication, it was cited in more than publications , according to Citation Classic but in most cases, the readers still did not even notice the qualitative side.
Professor Maruyama realized that this must be due to epistemological rather than intellectual limitations of the readers because the "sub-understanders" included eminent scholars.
An example of (b) is the story referred to by Professor Maruyama in several of his articles where he, while living in Scandinavia between and and frequently commuted between Malm� in Sweden and Copenhagen in Denmark, discovered that some Danes found Sweden to be a better epistemological environment for them than Denmark, while at the same time some Swedes found Denmark to be a more compatible epistemological milieu for them.
Magoroh maruyama wiki Magoroh Maruyama (April 29, – March 16, ) [1] was a Japanese/American business educator, consultant and researcher, best known for his contributions to cybernetics. [2]. In the s, the differences between Sweden and Denmark in terms of epistemological environment was as follows:
In the Danish culture, the mail purpose of daily conversation was maintainance of familiar atmosphere and affect relations. For example, a group of friends often sat together in the same coffee shop, eating the same pastry week after week, telling the same or similar gossip.
Subtle variations were considered interesting. For example, everyone in the group knew that Mr. X tied his left shoe first, then his right shoe.
Magoroh maruyama wiki roblox According to George Richardson's book "Feedback Thought in Social Science and Systems Theory", [2] the first published, formal use of a causal loop diagram to describe a feedback system was Magoroh Maruyama's article "The Second Cybernetics: Deviation-Amplifying Mutual Causal Processes".One day he reversed the sequence. This became big news. Less subtle informations was avoided because it might disturb the familiar atmosphere. It was impolite to explain things, because such an act assumed that someone was ignorant. It was also impolite to ask questions on anything beyond immediate personal concern, because the respondent might not know the answer.
It was often considered aggressive to introduce new ideas. One preferred to repeat the same old jokes. Discussion of politics or economics was taboo, except in marginal enclaves. Safe topics of intellectual conversation were art, literature and music, on which you could disagree without embarrassment, because people were expected to have different tastes.
In contrast, in Sweden the purpose of daily conversation was transmission of new information or frank expression of feelings.
One preferred to remain silent unless one had an important message, while in Denmark one had to keep talking.

Magoroh Maruyama (April 29, – March 16, ) [1] was a Japanese/American business educator, consultant and researcher, best known for his contributions to cybernetics. [2].The two countries had almost opposite epistemological environments and Professor Maruama notices that some individual crossed the border to find their epistemological match, which proved the heterogeneity and transculturality of individual epistemological types (a.k.a. Mindscapes).
Some of Professor Maruyamas major contributions to science
- The theory of increase of heterogeneity by causal loops.
- The theory of heterogeneity and transculturality of epistemological types.
- The theory of aestetic preferences as indicators of epistemological types and the development of the pictorial test "TOB test" to indicate ones epistemological type.
- The methodology of Heterogram Analysis to discover transcultural or transsocial individual types (not limited to epistemological types).
- The theory and methodology of criticality dissonance, relevance dissonance, endogenous research, and raw-experience visualization-enabling communications (REVEC).
- Transition of neuroscience from perceptual/cognitive experiments (PCE) to cogative/epistemological experiments (CEE).
- Design of wearable helmet-type fMRI (functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging) brain output transmitters, with which the tested individuals can move around and interact.
