Abstract
In this roundtable discussion, we used Kyoichi Murakami’s original framework of "Seitai-Chisou-Gaku" as a "starting point" and focused on the following four questions to build a "Ba-system for the Collaboration of Intelligence." Question 1 concerns the Western concept of "Transdisciplinary," which is not merely about the "boundaries" of interdisciplinarity but is a concept with strong political implications. Regarding Question 2, "Market Slack," we discussed the "Eventually Climax" phase in which "Ba(Socio-Interrelation) Systems" of inefficient management survive rather than disappearing. Regarding Question 3, system innovation in Artificial Intelligence, we noted that the pace of social implementation of such innovations is accelerating and closely observed the ecological transformation in which Human-entities interact with AI system. In the latter part of the discussion, we also shared insights on the challenge of anthropomorphism, specifically the concept of "Information- Oriented Legal Entity." Regarding Question 4’s "Cycle of giving Income and receiving Outcome," we went beyond the framework of an ecosystem (Circular System) to address a collaborative state of "Mutual Concession and Mutual Aid"—that is, "Compassion on the same boat" (alleviating the mal-being of others and bringing them well-being).
