It is stated that the process of human evolution on planet Earth has entered a permanent crisis mode. The Earth’s civilization is facing a growing set of challenges, threats of uncertainty, even in the very near future. These challenges are associated with the onset of the epoch of the Anthropocene, when human intervention in the bio-geo-sphere leads to its irreversible transformations, which with a high degree of probability may not be compatible with his own existence. On the other hand, on the horizon of the crisis evolution of mankind, a qualitatively new but still ghostly virtual entity appears, called artificial intelligence, which carries a potential threat of its enslavement, turning it into a new pet at best. In this context, a request is rapidly being formed for a new way (or mode) of integratively oriented polyocular thinking, a new conceptual optics that allows us to comprehend the current situation here and now, in order to build a variety of possible scenarios for future human coevolution, technology and the environment endowed with semiotic agency. Complexity thinking is evolutionary thinking together with complexity, thinking quantum-relativistic, mediating, procedural-temporal, thinking immersed in a non-equilibrium flow of becoming distinctions, along with the retention of the distinguishable and indistinguishable, as a kind of figure and background, text and context, self-organizing autopoietic system and structurally related environment. Thus, this mode of thinking becomes a recursive semiotically loaded contingent process in which the dialectic of necessity and randomness generates its qualitatively new states. Summing up, we can say that complexity acts as a kind of potentially active background, not fully manifested process, an infinite-dimensional quantum mechanical function, contact-meeting with which brings to life the appearance of a figure, a sign and its observer, referred to by us as a cross-border observer of network complexity.
The question of understanding of corporeality in philosophy, science, medicine and culture goes back centuries and remains relevant until the present. This relates mostly to anthropological challenges of the crisis technogenic civilization that is trying to improve human nature, without understanding of its holism, taking into account existential issues of hybrid man-machine systems and socies, virtual and cyber-physical umvelts, within which corporeality becomes more of an atavism and a deterrent for the rapid worlds managed by the powerful artificial intelligence. In philosophy of the XX century, the understanding of generalized corporeality is associated primarily with the phenomenological project of E. Husserl and its advancement in the works of M. Merleau-Ponty, French poststructuralists A. Artaud, G. Deleuze, F. Guattari, who conceptualizes the idea of generalized corporeality in cultural terms, rather than in natural science. The author proposes the introduction of the ontologies of generalized corporeality based on differentiation of its functional manifestations in communication and theatrical art, referring to the modern representations on the mechanism and their potential implementation on the level of physiology and mental sphere of personality, as well as on the level of substantial factors of biology, psychophysics and robotics. For these purposes, the author attracts the concepts of synergetics and quantum theory as the grounds for such functional ontologies; at the same time, full ontology of generalized corporeality is presented by direct product of the ontologies of states and temporal ontologies of physical and mental processes of a human, which allows creating a semiotics of corporeality of acting or anthropomorphic avatar-robot. The article explores the boundaries of emulation of human corporeality by the modern means of IT technologies, and the question of unattainability of many creative and spiritual sub-bodies of a person using technical means.
This article is a continuation of the topic on methodology of generalized corporeality, which stems from the concept of quantum-synergetic anthropology, developed in the previous parts of the triptych. Ontologies of the states (functional bodies and subbodies of generalized corporeality), as well as temporal ontologies are viewed on the example of theatrical acting. The author structures an isomorphism of the well-known musical notation, and representation of the changing anthropological profile in form of a chord of the simultaneously activated “resonating” states of the actor. The article discusses the appropriateness of such musical metaphor, analogy between the freedom of actors’ improvisation, as the anthropological jazz characteristic to any performer, although to different extent. The classical style is even less versatile than jazz improvisation. The author draws parallels of such performances with works of the classics of theater directing, philosophy of acting, and communication of musicologists: K. S. Stanislavsky, A. A. Vasiliev, B. Latour, J. Huizinga, J. E. Berendt. A certain language of interpretation of acting is offered using the dynamic patterns of description of events in the course of the play. If these patterns are adequate to stage reality, which the author was trying to prove, they can be implemented in training the actors, staging performances, etc. This virtually led to creation of a new psychological technique that allows amplifying the acting skills. Moreover, such type of notational representation of actor roles allows archiving and decoding the director's intention using a fairly universal method.
Currently, the development of society is largely determined by the expansion of digital technology into various social practices. Prediction and management of the co-evolution of society in digital reality is determined by the need to ensure sustainable development of society and adequate satisfaction of practices with information technology. The aim of the study was the development and pilot study of the capabilities of the information-analytical semantic model of an expert system for the analysis and management of socio-technical landscapes (STL) in digital reality. The network semantic structure of the knowledge base with unified decision modules in network nodes is substantiated. An enlarged diagram of the model is given and its functioning is described. Examples of the pilot application of the crucial modules of the expert system are examined: social practice “medicine” and digital technologies: “Artificial Intelligence”, “Information Technology”, “Mobile Technologies”, “Internet of Things”, “Big Data”. There are sharp changes in the ratios of feasibility and demand for technologies that occurred in the first half of 2020 compared to 2019 (which is associated with the consequences of the COVIN-19 pandemic). It is shown that the STL reaction is modeled by a transient process characteristic of the vibrational link.
Today, humanity has entered an endless series of crisis states of practically all vital forms of activity, which the global elites are already calling the “new normalcy”, and, in our opinion, this is only the initial stage of the Great Anthropological Transition. We can observe its manifestations today in anthropological, historical, socio-cultural, economic, medico-biological crisis phenomena, which demonstrating various options for the transition between two states of norm-homeostasis (in exact natural science, the term “phase transition” is often used). According to I. Prigogine and G. Haken, the transition or transit of the processes of becoming from one homeostasis to another always contain the following three consecutive phases against the background of an infinitely slow passage of critical characteristics-calls or basic control parameters. A – the phase of death-dissociation of the outgoing order, returning its degrees of freedom to a subordinate level; B – the phase of the developed chaos of uncertainty and complexity at the subordinate level, in which the possible structures of an alternative future order fluctuate (are born and die for a short time); C – the phase of the birth of a new order through the capture by the fastest fluctuation of access to the resource of the system and fixing the system. The article substantiates the universality of such a structure for the development of a crisis and the possibility of managing it at each stage on the example of understanding social processes in a pandemic
