The use of the concept of subtlety for the sublimation of intelligence in wisdom.

1. INTRODUCTION

The subtlety of a concept can be characterized using a quantative indicator called discrepancy. This indicator measures the differences between the positive and negative aspects of the concept, regarding a certain element calle K (firm, doer, project variant, economic indicator). Computing in order to find the global characteristic (positive or negative), we get the discrepancy for informational relevance/ non relevance of a certain economic indicator xk, marked [DELTA]k [member of] [-1,1]. If the manager notices that the discrepancy is reduced (negative or positive below 0,5), he will be tempted to take measures, hoping to ensure an allowable level. For this purpose he will increase the number of criteria (criteria related to a assessment, evaluation). But, as new criteria is added, the risk that some of them should be incongruous with the ones already taken into consideration or, partially redundant. This is due to the paradox emphasized by L.Zadeh which he named the complexity paradox. According to this paradox the more information is added to a system, the possibility to state something about that system decreases. Explanations for this paradox can be given by means of subtle arrays, which allow the evaluation of redundancy and level of factors incompatibility. The more information and knowledge are gathered, the more the risk of redundancy increases as well as the level of incompatibility among the influential factors related to the behaviour of the socio-economic system.

2. SUBLIMATION OF SUBTLE CONCEPTS

In comparison with the fuzzy arrays, the subtle arrays depend on the observer, fact which increases the lack of knowledge, and so decreases the knowledge level. Nevertheless, during certain stages of human society evolution, some subtle concepts, particularly complex ones, are comprehended especially by philosophers who explain their source and they guide, at least partially, their evolution. In relative long periods of time quantative and especially qualitative changes of the concepts appear, until the sublimation point is reached- initially a new concept appears which finally becomes sublime. The changing ratio briefly described in the previous sentence can be expressed this way:

[T.sub.r] (subtle concept) = sublime concept (1)

where T represents the changing operator.

An eloquent example can be an intelligent entity ([E.sub.int]) which exposed to sublimation changes into a wise entity ([E.sub.[??]]).

The result is :

[T.sub.r] ([E.sub.int]) = [E.sub.[??]] (2)

The sublimation operator can be marked in a more suggestive manner (SUBL). It results: SUBL ([E.sub.int]) = [E.sub.[??]].

The reverse sublimation operator [T.sup.-1.sub.r] or [SUBL.sup.-1] is the operator of provenance (PROV), which means:

[T.sup.-1.sub.r] = [SUBL.sup.-1] ([E.sub.[??]])=PROV([E.sub.[??]])=[E.sub.int] (3)

It comes out that wisdom derives from an intelligence educated at a high level. The expression uttered by Vladimir Dimitrov is: intelligence sublimates into wisdom. The difference between intelligence and wisdom can be established using the following 3 criteria: the quality of the action mode ([C.sub.1]), the morality of the action ([C.sub.2]) and the objectives of the action ([C.sub.3]). Carrying out the criteria of a wise indicator always dominates the fulfillment of the same criteria by an intelligent indicator, that is:

[C.sub.i] ([E.sub.[??].sup.j]) > [C.sub.i]([E.sub.[??].sup.j]) [([for all]).sub.i], [([for all]).sub.j], (4)

in which initially

[([there exists]).sub.i] [member of] [I.sub.s], [[there exists].sub.j] [member of] [J.sub.s] [J.sub.s] [member of] I; [J.sub.s] [member of] J (5)

After sublimation

[([for all]).sub.i] [member of] I, [([for all]).sub.j] [member of] J [C.sub.i] ([E.sub.i.sup.6]) > [C.sub.j] ([E.sub.i.sup.6]) (6)

These criteria are chosen according to the domain which undergoes a study. For example, in the case of the capital market, the affiliation degree is determined for each criteria and the informational relevant matrix is built, the later being an effective instrument in decision making. Taking into account the determined factors, the successful decision can be the one which includes investments attraction, loans, capital placement. The result is a systematization of the information related to the capital market, which can be included in a table, like it is presented in table no.1.

Factors which may appear in certain circumstances must act in conditions of positive synergy and they must satisfy the following criteria: the performance of the firm should be at a high level, the existence of available capital which can be placed outside the firm and the probability of gain from investment/divestments activities should be high level.

[TABLE 1 OMITTED]

The decision can be: favorable, meaning the acceptance of investments/divestments, or not favorable, rejecting this solution. Global relevance is computed [RG.sup.0.sub.j] and the synergy direction is checked. When the influence of the factor correlation relevance is positive, the matrix [RI.sup.0] is built and [RIC.sub.j.sup.0] (Dimitrov, 2000) global relevance is determined. The synergy direction is checked again and the decision which leads to success is taken. (Doval, 2001).

The decision of augmenting the firms assets becomes a function of decisions, which are in their turn circumstance based factors or economic concepts. The factors can be evaluated using assessment criteria based on informational relevance, as well as on the new conception defining for " intelligence sublimation through wisdom", in which [RG.sub.j.sup.o] represents the global info relevance of the management concept where j (j=1,n) and "n" the number of defining concepts for info relevance.

[MATHEMATICAL EXPRESSION NOT REPRODUCIBLE IN ASCII] (7)

where:1-[[partial derivative].sup.o.sub.jk-] the correlation quaeficient between concept [C.sub.k] and factor [f.sub.j]

[MATHEMATICAL EXPRESSION NOT REPRODUCIBLE IN ASCII], (8)

and also:

[[beta].sup.o.sub.ij]--exponent determined by means of statistics methods and easy-to-validate

[[chi].sup.o.sub.ji]--the membership degree to the concept relevance

If the circumstances for the inequality below are present:

([m.summation over (k=1)] [[beta].sup.0.sub.ij]) 1 - ljk / m > 1 (9)

then the synergy of the system is considered positive. If it is the other way around, the group of managers should reanalyze the pieces of information which have a high level of relevance and take measures accordingly. There is no general scheme for these type of sizes, but examples from the records of economic identities that were successful, as well as examples where they were not successful or event went bankrupt. We emphasize the fact that the Australian savant Vladimir Dimitrov had the idea of working with sublime concepts. Mr Dimitrov added also the concept of sublimation.(Dimitrov, 2000). We have developed this idea, introducing the principle according to which sublimation means the change of a subtle concept into a sublime one. We also introduced the sublimation operator, which can be used in the creative partnership domain by ingeniously combining these two ideas (sublimation and creative partnership).

The main course of action towards which the research should be oriented, having as aim the improvement of the displayed model, is the establishment of a "set of criteria" specific for each application area. In order to quantify the importance of these criteria, their affiliation degree to the object in case is to be determined and the matrix of informational relevance is to be established, the later is being an extremely useful tool in decision setting the foundation of the decision making process. For example, in the area of Human Resources, the model can be successfully applied while selecting personnel according to the requirements set by the position they are going to fill. In order to prevent the manifestation of the complexity paradox in the dialogue between managers and future employees, it is necessary to orient the research towards the establishment of a reasonable number of criteria, which will fit the best the position under discussion. This will base the decision of employment only in the limits of these criteria. It is in this direction that further research should be oriented when it comes to other areas in which this model can be applied.

3. CONCLUSION

Informational relevance is useful for partnership managerial decisions and can be considered a real working tool. The steps to be followed while using this tool in the process of sublimation are: identifying the circumstantial based factors or economic concepts which are necessary for decision making, factors evaluation based on certain criteria, the analysis of the level of relevance when it comes to the connections between factors, and finally, the matrix of decision making factors relevance. These characteristics, if attached to the partnership, transforms it from a subtle concept in a new type of concept, in a sublime concept. From what we presented it results the fact that the newly defined concepts--the sublime concepts, can be qualitative and quantitative characterized. The major conclusion of this article is that the sublimation as a process can be an extremely useful tool in decision setting the foundation of the decision making process.
