A series of four articles in this volume formulates anew process theory, a gneral theroy of systems."Process Method" illustratesthe development of a method to study ceative processes through the systematic comparison of empirical data with computer-generated series. "How is the universe, that it createsa human heart?" portrays evolution as a creative process determined y the asymmetry of action and the complementarity fo opposite information. "Process equation" shows how a simple equation that abstracts just these two features of processes cna generate series resembling physiological patterns, and numerical constants. "The Union of Opposites" birings these ideas to bear as a personal and social philosophy.
