An Approach to Abstract structures of logistics as a complex theory unifying the methodology of s-modelling and the logic of science: initial steps

in the introduction, following the formulation of the theses (1) on the concept ‘philosophy of science’, (2) on interdisciplinarity in modern science, and (3) on foundational studies in science, and on the bases of their content, (4) a thesis on the interdisciplinary approach to foundations of science is formulated. in accordance with the latter, together with the canonical approach to foundations of science, which consists in an elaboration of the foundations of mathematics, physics and other fundamental canonical sciences, also an interdisciplinary approach to foundations of science is realised, one that consists in the elaboration of four foundational complex sciences containing the most significant productive factors for the elaboration of various interdisciplinary theories: (1) Methodology of S-modelling, (2) Logic of science, (3) Definitics, a complex theory of definite structures, aggregates, processes and systems in reality and in knowledge, (4) Indefinitics, a complex theory of indefiniteness in its various forms in reality and in knowledge. Taking into account the internal connection between the first two complex sciences enlisted above, it is expedient in the process of investigations of their foundations that they be unified in yet another complicated complex science—logistics. Section 1 outlines the first steps of elaborating the abstract structures of S-modelling methodology. The following three definitions are especially significant in this respect: Definition 1. We shall say that X is a system and shall denote it as ‘Syst X’, if and only if X is a non-empty, in the general case, many-sorted set Ω, supplied with sets of hierarchical (1) predicates P (properties and substantial relations), (2) functions F, and (3) operations O, closed in Ω.
