文档介绍：TRANSPLANTATION ENGINEERING: THEORY AND APPLICATION
Songchun Mu
Abstract
Transplantation is one of the basic elements of human society development. Transplantation Engineering is the science of finding the principles and rules of transplantation in order to save the resources of both knowledge and materials. This paper advances the theoretical basis of Transplantation Engineering and its basic application model.
INTRODUCTION
What are the basic rules for human society development? How has human society developed to its present level? Scholars could endlessly debate possible answers to these questions. However, my answer can be expressed in two words: “Inventing” and “Transplanting”. The word “inventing” includes the activities of creating, finding or discovering. “Transplanting” refers to the processes or activities of transferring one thing to something else for certain goals or purposes. It includes two aspects: transferring (or place changing) and joining (bining). For example, the processes for physically moving puter system and its software from a certain production line to another production line are transferring. Whether puter system can have the original function in the other production line, or if the controlling software is suitable pertains to joining. In this sense, we can find that all artificial things around us are actually transplanted from somewhere else.
During the Paleolithic Age, fifteen thousands years ago, when a human being first discovered that a stone with an edge can cut things, the discovery was developed by others and was transplanted to other things. One person found that a big stone with an edge could cut down a tree; another found that a thin stone with an edge could cut skin off an animal and so on. In this way, the principle that edges can cut things was transplanted to other applications, and at the same time, many new principles were discovered and many new tools were invented. During the course of the Paleolithic A
