THEORY OF DASBIEN LIFE — Part II —

THEORY OF DASBIEN LIFE — Part II — proposes an expanded interdisciplinary framework for understanding life, ethics, learning, and reciprocal well-being across biological, artificial, ecological, and social systems. Building on the first volume, this second part introduces learning as a necessary transversal condition for any system to be considered “DASBIEN life.” According to the theory, a system must not only sense, defend itself, and maintain organized structure, but also learn from experience in at least one of these three fundamental dimensions.

The book combines concepts from systems theory, biology, cybernetics, phenomenology, ethics, complexity science, and artificial intelligence to argue that life is defined not merely by structure or reaction, but by adaptive plasticity oriented toward balanced coexistence and reciprocal well-being. The author develops the concept of the Balanced Interaction Zone (ZIE), a framework designed to evaluate, predict, and improve relationships between humans, animals, ecosystems, and emerging artificial entities.

A central contribution of the work is the creation of DASBIEN Diagrams, inspired by Feynman diagrams, as a universal visual grammar for representing ethical interactions, learning processes, and relational balance. These diagrams aim to make complex ethical dynamics understandable and applicable in education, public policy, environmental management, AI ethics, and interspecies relationships.

The text also proposes a precautionary ethical principle: whenever there is reasonable doubt about whether a system can suffer or learn, it should provisionally be treated as a subject of care. Through theoretical analysis and applied cases involving AI systems, organoids, ecosystems, and social interactions, the book argues for a practical and predictive ethics centered on learning, adaptation, and mutual well-being.

Overall, the work presents the DASBIEN Theory as a transdisciplinary and pragmatic theory of life intended to guide ethical coexistence, sustainable development, and future discussions about artificial, synthetic, and non-human forms of life.
