In recent years, a new promising general scientific direction has emerged to study the processes of self-organization in complex open systems of Nature and Society. Under open systems it is customary to understand systems capable of exchanging matter, energy and information with the environment. Openness in combination with the accumulative and internal resonance of the system leads to the activation of internal processes of self-organization and the complication of the structure, which is the essence of its evolution.
The role of bifurcation or structural-phase transitions in the evolution of complex systems is analyzed using a phenomenological algorithm and formalized concepts of adaptability and stability. It is shown that the algorithm makes it possible to estimate the degree of transition harmonicity and the stability of the new state. Knowledge of the features of the most critical zones of structural-phase transitions makes it possible to change the trajectory, pace and ultimate goal of the evolution of various dangerous natural processes by small energy impacts, preventing their development to extreme states. The knowledge of the functional significance of such “acupuncture” points of evolutionary processes makes it possible to control them with minimal energy costs for the purpose of preventive protection.
The polyfunctionality of complex evolving systems is analyzed. It is shown that not only living objects, but also various inert, bio-inert systems have numerous functions in the general natural organism. The functions of a dual nature systems - bioinert soil and biosocial man - turned out to be especially numerous. Such functions turned out to be the basic objects of study of the existing world system polyfunctionality.
The purpose of this work is to analyze the first regional model of the mankind system. This model is part of a set of 28 models of mankind. The elements of these models are resources or resource groups. A small quantitative model of the entire mankind system was previously presented. By resources, we mean tools, things, qualities, and methods that can be used to achieve human goals. In our models of the mankind system, the possibilities for actions of people and mankind are included in the consideration, while social structures, as well as the impact of mankind on the environment, are excluded from consideration. A total of 26 regional models are proposed. These are models of resource groups. The article details the first regional model of the mankind system and presents a development timeline for the lifespan of the first regional model. Collectively, the regional models constitute a large model of mankind. This article is interdisciplinary in nature as it addresses issues related to complex systems and human history.
The objective of this paper is to analyze the characteristics of models of a complex system of mankind. The opportunities for the actions of people and humanity are included in the model of the system. Social structures as well as the impact of humanity on the environment are excluded from the model. A small quantitative model of mankind’s system has been previously presented in my papers. The elements of small and big models are resources or resource groups. By resources, we mean tools, things, qualities, and methods that can be used to achieve human goals.
This article introduces a set of regional models in addition to small model of the humankind system.
It is shown that the proposed regional models are the models of complex systems. The characteristics of these models are considered.
This article has an interdisciplinary nature. It addresses the issues of complex systems and the history of mankind.
The COVID-19 virus has claimed thousands of lives and created a global economic and social crisis.
The aim of the paper is to draw attention to the control of virus-human interactions. The following objectives are formulated. 1. To suppress (minimise) the virus activity in a human body. 2. To prevent (minimise) viral spreading while maximising economic growth. 3. Use of consciousness (dynamic stereotypes) to build protective skills against viruses, to enhance immunity and to use viruses for human benefit. 4. Statement of the problem on coexistence of a virus (biosphere) and a human. Analysis of these tasks made it possible to formulate possible solutions and to discuss implementation mechanisms: acquired and inborn skill bases, self-learning and self-organization methods and practice of conscious stereotype creation. Some of these possibilities are discussed in this paper.
The authors have developed and successfully use individual therapy based on self-regulation and the central organisation of autonomic functions. They have investigated the formation of stereotypes and dominants in animal experiments and in clinical treatment.
The main conclusion is that today the dominant focus of people’s consciousness is on the social problems of society. The inner sphere has virtually no place in people’s consciousness. It is necessary to reorient the dominant of our consciousness towards solving the problems of the internal sphere of human body in order to keep the balance. In particular, this concerns human interaction with COVID-19.
The objective of this work is to identify the features of the development of a complex system of mankind. The opportunities for the actions of people and humanity are included in the model of the system. Social structures as well as the impact of humanity on the environment are excluded from the model.
This article studies the stability of the model depending on the uncertainty of dates. The impact of the driving force on some properties of humankind’s model is considered.
We examined the lack of direct proportionality between the driving force and the increase in the number of resource groups. We also found a prolonged temporary slowdown in the growth of the number of resource groups.
The index of great creativity of mankind is introduced and calculated. The index dynamics indicated that a period of global slowdown in mankind’s creativity happened between 2000 BC and 1500 AD.
The relationship between the history of creativity and the history of events of mankind was examined.
We found that the move of the great creative activity of mankind from Asia to Europe occurred in the first millennium BC. The model also provided an answer to the question if the development of mankind is a directional and controllable process. It has been established that the development of mankind is aimed at expanding the range of opportunities for human actions. This trend has existed since 42000 BC.
This article has an interdisciplinary nature. It addresses issues related to complex systems and driving force, as well as about creativity and humankind’s history.
The objective of this work is to clarify the reasons for the uneven dynamics of the development of the human system. The named dynamics changes in different periods of human history. Opportunities for human’ activities are included in our system model. This model of the human system consists of elements that have not changed since its inception. This means that the elements of the system are invariants. These elements represent opportunities for human action. Social structures as well as the impact of humanity on the environment are excluded from the system model.
In this article, a hypothesis is put forward about a new driving force of mankind’s development. The previously known driving forces are global climate change and the driving forces of biological evolution. We show the correlation between the graph of the new driving force and the curve of the growing number of invariants in our model. The growth of the driving force is very uneven. The emergence of new invariants is the response of the system to the pressure of the driving force. This correlation explains the reason for the uneven dynamics of the development of mankind’s system.
This article is interdisciplinary in nature. It examines issues related to complex systems, geological eras, global climate, mankind’s history.
