cience and technology have two faces: knowledge that exists and knowledge that does not
yet exist-that is, 1) developments based on
extrapolation of current and emerging R&D

the latter are driven by the call of the new, the open-ended
diversity of the imagination, and the promise of the multivariate structure of transdisciplinarity, coupled with creativity and futurology, that generates the emergence of
new science, technology, research, and hypothetical and

theories, respectively). Transdisciplinarity often addresses
a wide range of domains that include not only science and
