sell, 1973); but then later, the concept was called into question by Gauss’s multiplicity (Gauss, 2005);in which respect Poincarédeclared that there is no truer geometry, but only that which is more or less convenient for the world (Poincaré, 1905); and then Einstein dealt a definitive blow to Euclidean-Newtonian absolute space (Einstein and Lawson, 1920); and, yet, Thompson’s biomathematics took up the ideals of Euclidean geometryagain (Thompson, 1968).And thus, as Spiridonidis explains, also the link be- tween architecture and geometry transverses centuries and places and maps diverse forms of trust, dependenceor enquiring (Spiridonidis, 2019).
So, we come across avaried set of approaches that come and go, moving beyond the reductionist idea of orthodoxy. These areopen to an approach adapted to complexi- ty, as part of an experimental search that analyses the conditions of possibility. They arenot certainties, but make up, rather, a huge debate, annulling those doctrines that seek any kind of discursive determinism or the imposition of certain propositions over others.
But in any case, there is always room for a renewed meta-systemic vision.
Conclusions and future work
Our review has enabled us to reach some significant conclusions, which reveal the sig- nificance of the knowledge of the pre- to gain a better perspective about the present and future, and also the early signs on the existence of a parametric pre-digital history which concerns us.
We can see that, although it is true thatsystemic concept has been incorporated into science in more recent times, they are not that recent in philosophical thinking, hav- ing been tackled since Ancient times.Starting with the earliest philosophers (aspects that Aristotle and Heraclitus had already sensed), andeven within the old reductionist debate on the foundations of modern science, we can find traces of new forms of reconsidered causality.
And so,the incipient definition, which is to sayan initial state or law that makes it pos- sible to deduce future circumstances with certainty, has given way to a more liquid consideration, a meta-approach, departing from gradually obsolete positivist per- spectives and moving towards holism and complexity theories, common in philoso- phy, science and architecture.
In architecture, the concept is also ongoing, understood from the beginning as a structure of interconnected formal relations: starting with the order of the Greek tem- ple, to the patterns of each style within its corresponding time. However, within the field that interests us, we consider it to be more closely related to the concept of code. With ideas involving architectural space which more frequently distance themselves from long lasting materials and forms, or permanent definitions. In a scenario which progressivelyplaces architecture in a new pathos far from the old Vitruvian firmitas.
The evolutionary process does not play itself outin an invariably rectilinear manner,on the contrary, it passes through moments of agreement and negation, and then agree-
