Informational Evolutionism as the Core of Systemic Processes of Global Co-Evolution of Humanity

Abstract

The systemic genesis of Humanity is considered from the standpoint of informatics-cybernetic modeling of the development process of a self-controlling hierarchical-network system of Humanity. Using the stages of complication of basic information technology (BIT) as a marker of the systemic genesis of Humanity – which is what makes “evolutionism” informational – the main stages of changing system components are traced: 1) BIT. Subjects of the stage, the complexity of their self-awareness; 2) Times of start, culmination of the speed of development; 3) Macro-spaces: the scale of macro-structural technologies and the substrate of the collective unconscious; 4) Communities/societies; 5) Prevailing territorial management structures; 6) Socio-economic formations; 7) Types of property; 8) Types of public economy; 9) Spatial types of civilizations; 10) Multidimensional hierarchical territorial sovereignty; 11) Multidimensional hierarchical territorial identity and patriotism; 12) Military weapons; 13) Micro-spaces: the accuracy of production technologies, the dimensions of the structural elements of the living, units of memory (the substrate of the individual’s psyche); 14) Levels of systemic education of the individual, the approximate age of the person being educated; 15) Types of sign systems. Characteristics of the prevalence of these system components are given for the main stages of global co-evolution: I. ~28.2-1.86 million years ago, with the culmination (revolution (R) of hominids) ~9.26 million years ago, in areas (radius equivalent circle/sphere) ~4.2-64 m; II. ~1.86-0.123 million years ago, with a culmination (P of material production of the Lower Paleolithic) ~0.612 million years ago, in areas ~64-1000 m; III. ~123-8.1 thousand years ago, with a culmination (Upper Paleolithic P) ~40.3 thousand years ago, in areas ~1-15 km; IV. ~8.1 thousand years ago-~1446, with a culmination (P of “axial” time) ~2.7 thousand years ago, in areas ~15-223 km; V. ~1446-1946, with the culmination (industrial R) ~1806, in areas ~223-3370 km; VI. ~1946-1979, with a culmination (microprocessor R) ~1970, in areas ~3.37-51 thousand km; VII. ~1979-1981 and further, with a culmination (network R) ~2003, in areas ~51-773 thousand km; VIII. ~1981-1981 and further, with a culmination (P nano/AI-BIT) ~2341 (~2046?), in areas ~0.773-11.7 million km.
