The basic
principles of our journal The
longer the science develops the farther it goes away from its classical
sources and principles. The physics gradually becomes the science of use, not
explanation of the phenomena and processes, leaving this area of knowledge to
the philosophy, and gradually goes from its way towards the engineering
sciences. The philosophy is more and more concentrated on the complicated
interrelations between the concepts and terms themselves. At the same time in
mathematics two its branches became independent and leave each other farther
and farther. The tremendous, incredibly complicated and cumbersome tool of so
called pure mathematics has been created, and each its branch goes now its
own way and becomes a new independent abstract science of the virtual world.
The applied mathematics is perfectly separated from this. It is captured by
the assumptions, approximations and dogmas established by the physicists in
19th and in the early and middle 20th century. Its
development more and more inclines to the complication of the numerical tool. As
the result, on the grounds of grandiose breakthroughs achieved in the
philosophy of phenomena and processes in 17th and 18th
centuries, the grandiose breakthrough in the fundamental science was achieved
in 19th century. On its basis in 20th century the
applied and engineering science developed also grandiose success. But by the
21st century, because of the rupture between the branches of
knowledge, between the methods of qualitative and quantitative cognition of
the surrounding world, the feed of the applied and engineering sciences by
those fundamental gradually fails, the science develops from force of
inertia, accumulating the massif of particular solutions and dogmas
variations. The last section of the chain – technologies – still develop, but
in their development the stagnation is seen already obviously. We
SELF go on working on the classical principles. We strive to penetrate into
the essence of phenomenon as it is, irrespective of, how the scientists of
such or other school have described it before us. It does not mean a least
that we ignore the other scientists’ developments. But if there is a
contradiction between the phenomenon and its description, we do not try to
cheat the nature. We do not rely on the mathematics per se, but always
remember that the mathematics is the tool. However perfect it is, it remains
the tool of philosophy and leads the researcher only to that result which was
set by the statement of problem. Often we need more mathematical tool than is
available, then we develop the new tool, also in frames of classical
formalism. It
reflects in our results, and we would like to reflect it in the Aims and
Scope of our journal. We do not pursue the complicated formalisms, as is
thought fashionable now. We know from our experience that if the statement of
problem is correct, the solution is usually simple, as the most phenomena in
nature. And this solution does not need the provisos, it itself indicates the
way, sometimes unexpected, it itself leads us and shows us the most
unexpected relations and regularities, even the nonlinear models become
describeable in frames of linear modelling. The solutions transform
themselves from one form of the process to another, keeping their continuity
of this transformation. At the same time, something thought conventionally
obvious appears not so evident, when by way of analytical transitions these
solutions lead us to the specific patterns of processes. And the main, these
solutions well agree with the experimental practice. They prompt, how one has
to transform the experimental conditions in order to reveal the shadowed
properties best. We need not give examples here. You will see many of them in
our works, in the most different areas of research. So, if we try to outline
the field of our publications, it will be quite wide. You can find here the
pure mathematical papers on the number theory, theory of non-conformal
mapping, on the development of differential and integral calculus. At the
same time we will give an important place to the both mathematical and
experimental research in acoustics, mechanics, electromagnetism, circuit
theory, geophysics and many other disciplines. We will publish also the
papers concerning the philosophy of natural phenomena research, the
interconnection of knowledge branches, interpenetration and interconditioning
of the separate knowledge branches and knowledge about the separate
revelations of the nature per se. The
electronic version of our journal begins with the second volume. The first
volume was published as the printed version in 1994 ( p.h. Eney Ltd.,
Kharkov, Ukraine, 118 pp., English, ISBN 5 – 7700 – 0403 – 7). In the nearest
future we will put to the archive its electronic version. The first issue of
the second volume is quite small in the meanwhile and consists of four
papers. But these papers do not complete it. We use the wonderful scope of
electronic editions to publish the materials operatively, and by the middle
of 2002 we will add the new papers to this issue. So, visiting our journal
from time to time, you will permanently find here some new publications. |
