On the harmonization of all things

Humanity will always strive for harmony, although until now all its attempts to achieve this blissful state have failed, but in this seemingly fruitless striving, civilization has reached an unprecedented flowering, which, literally, immediately gave way to withering. So, is harmony achievable at all, and does it exist anywhere?

Keywords: harmony. consciousness, eternity, beingness, alive, infinite, finite, time, space, information, hologram.

Not only great thinkers dreamed of harmony in the sense of universal improvement, but each person would not mind improving in such a way as to live for his own pleasure as he wants.
It turns out that universal harmony is something magnificent, which, being reduced to individual, comes down to ordinary stupidity.
In the same way, it happens everywhere, despite all our desires and hopes.
Let's start with the growth and complication of the human brain, which occurred more than two million years ago with the appearance of hominids, who finally turned to a more or less conscious transformation of their own environment for personal and group needs, that is, it is quite advisable, in contrast to the instinctive-reflex adaptation of primates to their environment.
The diverse and often innovative activities of hominids required additional intelligence and initiative. Therefore, new cells and new sections gradually began to appear in the brain, the organ that controlled this activity, in particular, those responsible for associative thinking. Thus, the growth of information flows correlated with the growth and complexity of brain structures.
As a result, after more than two million years, the brain mass of the improved hominid increased from 300 grams to one and a half kilograms, thereby facilitating the solution of complex problems of survival in a hostile environment, far from the comfort and safety of the civilization known to us, and its conscious exploitation. Simply put, a person was then forced to be not only versatile, fast, dexterous, memorizing, but also extremely smart and creative in order to survive, reproduce and somehow comfortably settle in a group of similar creatures, with whom it was also necessary effectively to communicate.
But then a civilization appeared, the main distinguishing feature of which is the right of ownership. It not only divided society into separate communities, which later turned into states, but also structured each community so that it would develop in competition with other communities, ensuring, meanwhile, both the division of labor and the safety of its members.
The development of technology and social relations eventually led civilization within the framework of property relations to the current state, which, despite a lot of shortcomings, is strikingly different from the archaism of previous years in that in most countries of the world the level of citizen safety and the level of health care ensured an average life expectancy of about 70 years, and not 20 years, as it was under the primitive communal system.
It seems that progress is evident, but the brain mass of today's citizens has decreased by 200-300 grams, which scientists explain by their narrow specialization and the absence of constant danger from the outside. However, this is only the tip of the iceberg of civilization, or the human progress, and its essence comes down to the fact that it was very bad before, but we - people - have improved quite well, but, contrary to expectations, have not come to harmony, and recently have begun to quickly degrade in all respects: both in the field of culture with its decadence, and in the field of science, which was limited to solving rather minor applied problems, and in the field of technology, where it was not possible to advance beyond the smartphone. In addition, a permanent crisis arose in public relations, which at any moment can be resolved by a mushroom cloud of an atomic explosion.
Therefore, everything now is going according to the principle: the better, the worse.
It was this fact of degeneration that the Russian thinker N. F. Fedorov had in mind, known for his original approach to improving humanity by resurrecting the dead, which he apparently proposed out of despair and hopelessness, since he did not see any other way to harmonize of all things: “If the unification of the living for a universal return to life does not is carried out consciously, then the unification of sons turns into civilization, into alienation, hostility, into destruction, and instead of the return to life appears culture, that is, degeneration and finally extinction” [1, part 3, paragraph 1].
Fyodorov quite rightly put it this way about the progress that is so respectful to us now and the still encouraging socialism: “Although stagnation is death and regression is not heaven, progress is true hell, and the truly divine, the truly human lies in saving the victims of progress, in bringing them out of hell. Progress as the negation of the fatherland and brotherhood is complete moral decline, the negation of morality itself... ...progress consists in the consciousness by the sons of their superiority over the dead, that is, in such consciousness that excludes the need, and therefore the possibility, of uniting the living (sons) to the return to life of the dead (fathers), and meanwhile, in the matter of the return to life the fathers, real superiority would be expressed sons, if only this can be called superiority, whereas in glorification over fathers only their imaginary superiority is expressed” [1, part 1, paragraph 15].
“If progress, improvement occurs with the help of evolution, development (change of states) of what is happening (?), then progress is not so much the action of an intelligent being as a manifestation of blind force, and therefore cannot be called the improvement” [1, part 1, note 9].
However, Fedorov did not understand that the blind, as he called it, force of progress, which forces civilization to accelerate the flow of its own time, is in fact not purely natural. It arises from the interaction of the animal (natural) consciousness of a person and the completely rational self-consciousness inherent only in a person, which has separated him from the blind forces of nature. It is the struggle of these two components of the human consciousness, and not some other natural forces, that ensures the accelerated development of civilization, and therefore allows each individual human consciousness to constantly plunge into ever-growing information flows, that is, to receive ever new changes in their own self-awareness as a result arising collisions, thereby developing both his self-consciousness and giving from the entire totality of individual forms of consciousness new food for a single consciousness of all.
Along the way, Fedorov completely deservedly debunks one of humanity’s hopes for a harmonious life - socialism, which, as later practice has shown, really turned out to be a false semblance of a fair society, only hiding the ruthless face of capitalism: “Unification in the name of comfort, for the sake of one’s own pleasure, is the worst thing the use of life both mentally, aesthetically, and especially morally... ...Socialism is a deception; kinship, brotherhood, he calls the partnership of people alien to each other, connected only by external benefits... ...Is it possible, is it natural to limit the “human cause” to protecting only the correct distribution of the products of production, forcing everyone to insensitively, dispassionately observe that no one appropriates more for himself against others or that someone would give up something to others, refusing what is theirs? [1, part 1, paragraph 19].
The positivity of such paradoxical view of Fedorov on the development of civilization - the progress - is, however, reflected in the fact that he quite adequately noticed its final degeneration, but instead of analyzing the origin of this degeneration, he proposed that everyone unite for a universal return to life.
The current events clearly demonstrate the correctness of Fedorov in his characterization of progress and socialism, which have not managed to bring humanity to harmonization, but Fedorov, as a true humanist, who pities humanity and wants the best for it, has not lost faith in the coming harmony based on future achievements of science, which will revive all the dead and thereby lead humanity not just to the harmony of eternal life, but to its mastery of all cosmic forces: “The duty of the return to life requires the opening of a path to heavenly space, for without the possession of heavenly space the simultaneous existence of generations is impossible, although, on the other hand, without the return to life of all people it is impossible to achieve complete possession of heavenly space... ...The question of the fate of the Earth leads us to the conviction that the human activity should not to be limited to the terrestrial planet... ...stable existence is impossible while the Earth remains isolated from other worlds. Each isolated world, due to its limitations, cannot have immortal beings. On each planet, the means of life are limited, not infinite, although they can be very large, and, therefore, death should eventually appear due to lack of means of subsistence, if it had not had time to appear earlier for random reasons” [ibid., part 4].
Of course, one must believe in a person and humanity, but one must also keep in mind the limited capabilities of both a person and humanity, as finite entities first of all, not to mention the limitations of their sense organs and brain resources.
In other words, a person can only be the most perfect tool, but whose and for what purpose? And certainly not for the harmonization of beingness, which is impossible due to its contradictory nature and animal essence.
And here the artificial intelligence appears on the agenda.
Here, finally, as many claim, a panacea has appeared that will ensure eternal life in complete goodness as a result of the unification of a person and the electronic-computer miracle.
Again, these blessed ones forget about the natural finiteness of both man and any devices, and eternal life is simply an oxymoron.
Moreover, all these figures apparently do not suspect that the artificial intelligence is not only incapable of ensuring “eternal life,” on the contrary, it will in every way contribute to the rather rapid cessation of the existence of the current civilization due to its uselessness due to the degradation that has occurred and, thus, its inability to develop further.
For example, if we approach civilization as a complex nonlinear system, then it is doomed to collapse when certain conditions are created.
In particular, the famous researcher J. Forrester says the following about these conditions for complex systems.
In his opinion, "the complex system" means multilink structure of a big order with a non-linear feed-back. All social systems fall into this class. Like all systems, the complex system is the interdependent structure of feed-back circuits. "Feed-back circuit" is the technical term designating a situation in system for any moment of decision-making. The decision defines the sequence of actions which change a condition of surrounding system and cause a new flow of information on which the new decision is based. Such shaped chain structure is peculiar to all types of decisions, public or individual, conscious or unconscious. Processes, which are inherent in the human body and nature, managed by the laws which are explored by the psychology and physics, medicine and engineering, are all within boundaries of this structure. But the complex system has a number of specific features.
The complex system is a system of a big order. "The order" of system is defined by number of the equations of level (i.e. integrals or statuses) in the system description. Social system, even for very restricted purposes, can be presented as system from tenth up to the 100-th order.
The complex system is multilink. It contains more than three or four feed-back circuits. Interaction between these line-ups of a feed-back, shift of a dominating role from one line-up to another - this is what largely determines the nature of a complex system. The complex system has chains both positive, and the negative feed-back. The chain of the negative feed-back is most often mentioned in literature according to the theory of systems but only this concept is used exclusively in technical literature. But there is a positive feed-back which predicts all the processes of growth, whether biological or economic. Chains of the negative feed-back are chains of searching the purpose regulating the system in the direction of the certain purpose. Chains of a positive feed-back are chains of deviations from the purpose, exponentially declining system from some point of a labile equilibrium. But nature of positive feedback which determines the positive spiral of the behavior of growth depends not only on structure, but it also depends from the numerous changing factors surrounding this chain. These factors often add up and these factors are operated by other line-ups in system. In process of change of these factors regenerative characteristics of a positive loop of growth can be suppressed that will lead process to the neutral point separating positive and negative nature of behavior of a feed-back. If a chain is removed by some push in area of the negative feed-back, it starts generating an exponential decay of process in the direction to an initial point from which it was rejected.
The complex system is non-linear. The modern mathematics deals with almost only with the linear processes. But life and society are almost wholly characterized by non-linear processes. Non-linear interaction in system allows to dominate for some time to one circuit of feed-back, but it can cause shift of this dominant in another part of system where the behavior of system so differs that these two situations seem as not having relations to each other. Iterative restructuring upon nonlinear functional dependencies does the complex system by extremely sensitive to the majority of parameters of system. Such non-linear behavior at the same time does system by resistant to the efforts made with the purpose to change behavior of system.
The complex systems have characteristics which are generally unknown. The behavior of the complex systems differs strongly from behavior of simple systems.
The complex systems are: 1) counterintuitive; 2) surprisingly insensitive to changes of many parameters of system; 3) resistant to administrative innovations; 4) the complex systems contain influence points often in unexpected places which are a source of forces, able to change balance in system; 5) the complex systems counteract and compensate exerted externally of efforts by decrease in rate of the corresponding action generated inside system (the correcting program will be amortized strongly so as its considerable efforts are spent for compensation of loss of internal action); the remote (long-term) reaction of the complex systems in the relation to any administrative innovation often is the opposite to immediate (near-term) reaction in the relation to this innovation; 7) the complex systems have a tendency to deterioration of the condition.
In such situation when casual symptoms are accepted as the reasons, a person directs the efforts to elimination of symptoms, but thus the true reasons remain unaffected. Such action is inefficient, or it leads to situation deterioration. It is possible to tell with big confidence that approach to the solution of problems of the complex social systems, based on our intuition, in most cases leads to mistakes.
The complex systems resist to the majority of administrative actions. Even in that case when the considerable change is made in system, its behavior often remains without change. The reason consists in the nature of the complex systems contradicting intuition, and their tolerance to change of parameters. Administrative measures relate to as structure (i.e. the elements chosen as sources of information as well as their use), and system parameters (defining influence of information and defining the magnitude of its actions). The term "administrative innovations" is considered here as a rule, as the formulation of a line of conduct showing how available information leads to a choice of decisions, defines action. Insensitiveness of system to change of the majority of its parameters leads to that the system remains insensitive and to the majority of modifications which are being imposed to it by new actions and decisions because these decisions change only extent of influence of information or action. The nature of resistance of social systems is hidden in this. Change of administrative intervention leads only to minor change of the majority of levels of system and the new combination of information for a decision making is thus formed. New information in combination with new administrative measures yields the results close to the former.
The complex systems are different high sensitivity to change of only small number of particular parameters and to some structural changes of system. Similar inconsistency in the relation to the situation considered above concerning tolerance of system to parameters really takes place. Any system contains some points and, her behavior is sensitive only to change of these points. Change of administrative influence in one of such points puts pressure upon all system, and her behavior changes in all directions. These parameters and structural changes, to which the system is sensitive, usually are not self-evident.
The active correcting programs imposed on social system, are much less efficient, than it was expected, thanks to that these programs have a tendency to substitute the appropriate internal processes.
Complex systems have a tendency to quality degradation. The nature of systems contradicting intuition is the reason destroying of drawn-up plans of changes. In addition, the contradiction between short-term and long-term reactions of the system causes carrying out such administrative activities that make the system less satisfactory. For example, particular measures can improve a situation for a year or on two, but at this the stage at which will manifest changes worsen the system parameters, simply shifts into the future. The point is that we first see the positive results of the measures taken, and when the situation deteriorates, we're doubling the initial efforts. Enhancing the impact leads again to short-term improvement, compounding and worsening the long-term effects further. And again, we see, how is inventive the complex system in its ability to mislead us.
We have an information volume, much more that which we correctly and systematically use. The imperfection of existing theories about the structure of the system is the barrier. Routine forms of accumulation of data will not be able to shed light, to reveal new about details of structure of system.
Lack of information is not the main obstacle to understanding the dynamics of a complex system. Obstacle is the lack of willingness and ability to organize existing information in a manner that will reflect the structure of the real system and, therefore, will have the basis to behave so as would behave real system. Values of parameters are secondary - first you need to reflect correctly the structure of the system” [2, p. 118-125].
Using Forrester's approach to the complex systems, we will note the following. At informational collapse which already is beginning to manifest itself, especially in the field of informational technologies, such complex system as our civilization, begins to lose control, generally owing to the avalanche receipt of information and lack of its adequate filtration. In this regard the current situation does not provide time correctly to define those few points to which the behavior of a civilization is sensitive, the more that these points even in normal conditions are not self-evident. As a result, the majority of line-ups of a feed-back is being removed in area of the negative feed-back which starts generating an exponential attenuation of process. But nonlinearity of system at attempts to reconstruct it in a worsening situation and to bring to lifting, blocks all efforts made for change of behavior of system. There is no time in a situation of informational collapse for the exact definition of the reasons of worsening behavior of system, and casual symptoms are accepted for them. If efforts go on elimination of symptoms, the true reasons remain unaffected. Such action either ineffective or leads to deterioration. Thus, the structure of the real system due to lack of ability to organize incoming avalanche of information in the form that adequately reflects the structure of the system remains out of undertaken influences.
Such, in brief, explanation of the process beginning with the destruction of the current civilization as a complex system that fall into the situation information of the collapse. Any asteroid or global flood, etc. are not required in order to any technological civilization in these conditions rather quickly stopped the existence.
It is curious that the same nonlinearities of system leading to disordering, in other conditions can generate an order from chaos of the elementary processes. It follows from the concept of a structural stability entered by Ilya Prigozhin. In this context we can talk about the reaction of the system to emergence of the new units, capable to involve in interaction the various processes in system [3, page 178].
Civilizations belong to non-equilibrium and non-linear systems. It means that they can arise and disappear as a result of change of conditions. If process of disappearance of civilizations was clarified to some extent, for emergence of civilizations "the new units, capable to involve in interaction various processes in system" are required also. These units for civilizations are reasonable individuals, organized in the communities. But the question of the appearance of these reasonable individuals for evolutionary theory remains open. Until now, this issue was not resolved and it is unlikely to be solved within the framework of the theory of evolution of the biosphere on Earth.
It turns out that both the scientists who claim that eternity, that is, beingness in the current time, has no cycles, and the scientists who believe that the duration of eternity is a repetition of one and the same cycle are wrong. If we relate these considerations to civilization, then, judging by the data obtained by archaeologists, there were at least ten civilizations on Earth similar to the one that exists today. Thus, the emergence of civilizations is cyclical in nature, but these civilizations do not duplicate each other. On the contrary, with the general similarity in technological and cultural development, the results of their activities are unusually diverse and original [4].
Nevertheless, they all disappeared, taking with them, as it were, into oblivion all the accumulated achievements, thoughts, ideas and feelings, without reaching such a desired harmony.
Doesn't this seem somewhat unfair to the reader?
Only one conclusion can be drawn from this: if harmony exists, then not in the current time of beingness.
Therefore, developing this idea, we can assume that beingness with its current time provides the opportunity for all living things, including a person in their communities, to develop in the accelerating proper time of each local formation, achieving maximum acceleration in a civilizational formation with the receipt of a corresponding result in the form of such intangible achievements as the values of culture, thoughts and feelings of each person in all their individual diversity.
You will say that all this is also lost with the collapse of civilization.
Indeed, in the current time, where all objects and phenomena are finite, all this cannot be preserved, but outside of time, accumulation of everything that exists in the current time is quite possible.
There is sufficient evidence of the existence of this accumulator outside of time in the form of a holographic projection of a timeless infinity. For example, they are given in my article "About the manifestation of the connection between the otherworldly and reality" [5, chapter 8].
If we take into account all these facts, then harmony can very well exist in the form of an ultra-high-frequency wave-like hologram, infinitely accumulating in itself everything that the infinitely flowing eternity gives in the form of beingness with its current time. Thus, if the current time is a condition for the development of the living in everlasting contradictions to its maximum peak in the form of civilization, then the hologram is a condition for the accumulation of everything that beingness produces, since the main principle of the hologram is unity - "everything in every part".
In the world of the "hologram" there is no time, no space, no object is separated from another, that is, the past, present and future, as each person imagines them, do not exist, but at the same time the conditional volume of data coming from being is endlessly accumulated. And this entire volume is produced by the living - there is no one else - in the time it creates, unknown to itself as current. This process, of course, is controlled by a single consciousness of the hologram. Beingness, being as if a derivative of the hologram, along with that is the only "battlefield" that transforms frequency non-being - the hologram - into real life in current time with all its shortcomings, contradictions, discoveries and countless changes.
It is curious that for the suffering consciousness in an individual living being in the current time there is a kind of nirvana in a hologram outside of time.
But in this nirvana, in the absence of time, nothing can happen. Therefore, the active element of Creation - consciousness - is forced to exist both in the hologram in frequency form and in beingness - a more or less dense product of the conversion of energy-informational packets of the hologram, suitable for the existence of consciousness in the form of an individual living being, maintaining a connection through each finite living being with a holographic projection of a timeless infinity due to the principle of the hologram - "everything in each part".
That is, life in beingness arises and develops due to the fact that each living being perceives successive frequency packets of information from the hologram, transforming them due to the inertia of processing into the current time, and, consequently, into a space with changing and moving things [see, for example, 5], in which one can live, reproduce and develop.
In this regard, it can be assumed that the aspiration of humanity, finite in its civilization, for harmony is by no means groundless, but is limited by the elusive horizon of the hologram, in contrast to the infinite consciousness, which endures and enjoys in the form of alive in beingness, and along with that “rests”, beyond all forms, in a perfect timeless non-beingness, nevertheless, not forgetting to renew beingness, in which neither people nor civilizations disappear, since without them Creation becomes pure non-beingness.
