NONLINEAR DEVELOPMENT, SINGULAR AND POST-SINGULAR PHASES OF HUMANKIND DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

Currently, there is a zone of singularity, a zone of instability, mismatch and conflict of various systems and subsystems, nonlinearly increasing concentration and severity of crises that threaten the existence of humankind. In the post-singular phase of human development, society must find a way for sustainable development, supporting mechanisms to compensate for possible crises until the next singularity, which is inevitable. Modern global nonlinear development processes occurring at all levels of the organization of matter give rise to catastrophic strategic instability, uncertainty and unpredictability of scenarios of the future state of the world, from which humanity will have to find or construct the optimal ways that ensure sustainable development. In the XXI century, the concepts of the World System and the “world of people”, “humanity” coincide in many respects and constitute relative integrity and dynamic stability, due to the many different connections and relations between its components.
