Good time to read, dear members habrahabr.ru
Not so long ago, I presented a nine-level model of open systems interaction (
http://habrahabr.ru/post/176391/ ).
This approach did not receive unequivocal support, and therefore the model had to be refined.
First - a quote, which, in my opinion, most fully reflects the direction of development.

5.1 About paradigms and objects
The term “paradigm”, which became known from the book by Kahn [Kuhn, 1970], entered the everyday life of software in connection with the popularization of the object paradigm. A paradigm is a set of agreements in which we represent the world around us. In software, paradigms define how we formulate abstractions. What is your world made of? Do you divide the world into procedures? Data records? Modules? Or classes and objects?
In practice, the paradigm defines the rules, means and agreements for dividing the world into separate understandable parts. Paradigm objectives usually include a quality characteristic, roughly called modularity, which means that the analysis should create coherent abstractions with minimal cohesion. If abstractions are independent, then their owners can develop them separately, without interfering with each other. If we assume that the system can be developed in parts, then paradigms help us create islands of change.
So, I offer the readers a seventeen-level model, which I propose to use when reading textbooks of philosophy, psychology, sociology, economics with the secret idea to translate all this into programming languages :-).
The approach is based on the philosophical idea of dualism, and begins with the introduction of two initial elements:
-
ideas - as an abstraction, which is self-sufficient for its definition
-
emptiness - as material, for which no idea is needed
The remaining elements are squeezed between these elements, symmetrically distancing them from each other as complexity develops. Qualitative levels of development of complexity and are presented in the underlying schemes /. The main assumption is the symmetry of the abstract and material - for material concepts there are symmetrical abstract ones. An additional assumption is a symmetrical disclosure of nature and concepts from the edges to the center.
For example, the extreme elements correspond to the most material (emptiness, for which additional characteristics are impossible) and the most abstract (an idea for which there is no material representation). This approach corresponds to the equal importance of the material and the ideal in the development of nature (dualism).
For all levels in the proposed model is the selection
The four elements of the Deming PDCA cycle: -Act-Plan-Do-Check-Act-
I note that the Hans Jürgen Eisenck coordinate system is selected from the three orthogonal axes as the basis:
-
Psychoticism - level of abstractness
-
Neuroticism and
Extraversion - as a direction to the Deming cycle element in polar coordinates
Naturally, as the initial assumption, the schemes do not claim to be true. Everyone can create, using a spherical paradigm, their own variants, which will be based on their categories, levels, phases.
So, I represent the model - while in the form of graphic elements for modeling. At the heart of the left margin of the images remained a set of symbols, symmetrical with respect to reality.
General scheme:

the order of the order of sciences in terms of abstractness:
logical
religious
philosophical
cultural
political
management
marketing
sports
technological
transformative
steady
synergistic
economic
social
psychological
biological
chemical
physical
astrophysical
Perfect and tangible

As the most abstract concept, the
idea stands out (Plato, Hume, Hegel)
The most appropriate
idea is the
negation , as an operation that is not applicable to more real elements. In this regard, the
negation is often used to check the correctness. In mathematics, this is called "proof by contradiction."
The basis of the
idea of something is
not the existence of the
idea itself. In addition, the
idea of something is characterized by the purpose of the
idea (indicated as
directionality ).
In the value-normative component, an
idea is characterized by
necessity : any phenomenon can be expressed by its
idea .
The least abstract, and the most material (bearing no
idea ) is represented by the concept of
emptiness (in C this is described by the type
void ).
Moreover, even
emptiness can be expressed with the
idea of emptiness .
Following the empty level with increasing abstractness is the level of chaos.
Properties of matter at this level can only be described statistically. However, this statistic allows us to evaluate the field properties (
ability ) and determine the space-time characteristics for conglomerates - bodies. The main property of chaos is the
existence of its elements. At the same time it is not possible to identify specific elements of the element trajectories (
randomness ).
Random level is the most fundamental. For example, it is difficult to foresee the emergence of comets from deep space, and Siberia, as the largest part of the land, is the most likely territory for meteors to fall.
In cybernetics, to protect against the influence of accidents, self-testing is used when the processor is turned on, as well as fool protection — an attempt to envisage a reaction to all possible user actions - logical (coinciding with the system's purpose) and not logical (by dropping a hedgehog on the keyboard)
Physical and Religious

For the ideal, the following segments are highlighted:
Purpose - as an attempt to determine the reason for the need to form a specific
ideaSource of external justification of the
goal (
respondent )
The possibilities of using
ideas - a
functionMethod of fixing the achievement of the
goal - the
stateIn material terms, they correspond to the behavior of matter, studied by physics - the interaction of two bodies or the interaction of body and field:
the first thing is to determine the type of interaction - the
essencethe region of space-time is distinguished, whose behavior is estimated and predicted (
object )
for a selected
object , its state (
phenomenon ) is fixed in a certain coordinate system
it turns out the environmental impact on the object
At the same time, for a specific study:
essence is fixed as the
purpose of existencethe source of the
purpose of justifying consideration is the
objectthe phenomenon of an object is assumed as its main
functionpossible
states of an object are assumed to be mediated by its
relations with the environment
Chemical and Philosophical

With the empowerment of the researcher, descriptions describing the structure of the studied concepts are added to the categories of
existence and
purpose.In the area of the ideal:
A
point of view is added, as a characteristic that unites a view of the world, representing a striving towards a
goalGeneralization is singled out as a method of compressing several
ideas into one when viewed from a specific perspective (to interact with a specific type of
respondent , the actual
abstraction )
An
interface in this context means a designated set of ideas of transmitted and received
signals , characterizing the designated
function.Assessment is defined as a procedure that helps to obtain information about the
state of the external
respondent.Historically, this part is close to the work of shamans who broadcast the "will of the gods"
In the field of material, structural division appears, which corresponds to the identification of the
structure of a substance (chemistry), information and the basis for the operations of logic and arithmetic, which are determined by the set of allowed
rulesAn
entity identified at the previous level determines the applicability of
rule sets
The selected
object is analyzed for the possibility of determining its internal structure (
structure )
A phenomenon generates a
subject that it
modifies , as a sensor-receptor, aimed at fixing exactly this kind of
phenomena.The accumulation of previous changes of the
subject characterizes the
resource , the “caretaker” of which is considered the
subject . The basis of the
resource is supposed to be the
connection of the phenomenon and the
subjectThe relationship between the ideal and the material for this pair of levels is determined by the following characteristics:
The point of view determines the set of
rules used (is it possible to add red apples with green ones?)
The possibility of determining the
structure is governed by the possibility of
generalization (is it possible to combine hydrogen atoms with one concept when considering the properties of a water molecule)
The subject is characterized by the
interface used (the scale does not determine the size or color of the object)
The accumulation of a certain
resource requires the possibility of its
assessment (for example, “not one” already requires the specification of the
structure within which the
assessment is made , the
states of “little”, “enough”, “too much”, etc., are similarly evaluated)
Within these levels, the
rules of logic and arithmetic are introduced.
Biological and Scientific

With further development, it becomes possible to use
resources to maintain self-preservation.
In the area of the ideal, it becomes possible to
predict future
conditions based on known
rules and a selected
point of view.A brief characteristic of the dynamic
assessment of the situation are the
criteriaIn order to be able to continue to exist without deterioration of the
state , the
forecast of changes is used with possible options for changing the
system and the environment.
The set of preferred actions determines the
culture .
The ideal analogue of the
resource appears -
history , as a set of consequences of applying the
rules along with the conditions of their use and
results.In the area of the material, there is an evolution of
systems that provide their own homeostasis within an individual or species. This corresponds to the development of living beings and similar artificial formations.
Knowledge represents a set of
rules with the context of their application in the presence of various ways of their own change.
The system in this case is understood in accordance with the following definition:
system - a
structure capable of maintaining homeostasis
For existence, the
system may have a choice of several
alternatives - ways of using
resources.After being used to implement one of the alternative possibilities, the available
resources are quantitatively changed.
The relationship between the ideal and the material:
The knowledge accumulated by the
system allows you to select the
criteria that contribute to the preservation of the
systemThe maintenance of homeostasis itself requires the possibility of comparing
predictions of actions for selected
criteria.Knowledge allows you to view several alternative actions (
choices ), and a set of priority alternatives (
culture ) appears.
When performing an action, accumulated
resources are used . Evolution allows you to accumulate a
history of situations,
rules applied, and selected
alternatives . Such an approach creates prerequisites for the development of science on the scale of a single cultural phenomenon - civilization.
Psychological and Political

After the emergence of
systems sufficient for independent existence using environmental
resources and the ability to memorize previous changes in an abstract form, there is the possibility of accumulating behavioral stereotypes, and, accordingly,
learning opportunities.
In the realm of the ideal, the possibility of
cognition arises, based on accumulated
history , and the planning of behavior in accordance with the
evaluation of the values of the
criteria .
For the successful existence of a variety of different types of behavior
strategy is applied. For example, eat grass and fear, or be a predator, and catch.
After choosing a
strategy , it is possible to
plan your behavior. For example, a cheetah tries to catch prey, and wolves organize a hunt in a group.
In the
process of achieving (or not achieving) the
goal ,
learning occurs - training endurance or increasing the number.
The result of
learning is
cognition , which contributes to the selection of
criteria and improve
strategies .
In the field of material psychological
processes appear, which are described in the framework of the process approach.
In order to win in natural selection, the natural requirement is to improve the characteristics of the
system .
To implement the behavior, it is possible to use various
processes that represent ways to convert the
input to the
output . In accordance with the successful SADT (IDEF0) methodology, the required type of
input is the manager - the starting
process .
The process input must obtain the necessary
resources for use, which the
system must take care of. If the required
input is not filled in, the
process may stop. Sometimes this termination of the
process leads to a catastrophe (lack of air at the diver or lack of regulation at the Chernobyl NPP).
The results of the execution
process are “caught” at the
output . If the
output does not meet expectations, then this is a reason for
improvement .
The relationship between the ideal and the material:
To improve the functioning of the
system , a
strategy is applied.
When choosing a
process ,
planning is applied.
The supply of control
signals to the
input of the system facilitates the
learning of possible
behaviors.Cognition tracks
the system's
output to expectations.
Managerial and Social

The result of
training in the presence of different
systems (and nature does not tolerate not only emptiness, but also sameness) is the possibility of comparing the propensity to perform the necessary or possible
rolesIn the field of the ideal, the possibility of cybernetic
control appears.
implementation of the developed
strategy contributes to the choice of the
scenario , which will lead to an improvement in the value of the selected
criterionplanning includes the need to ensure that the
scenario is executed under specific conditions by transmitting a sequence of
signals and material flows
Learning to perform the
script is formulated in the form of a
project - an ideal
model of actions to be performed.
after the
project is completed, an
audit is performed -
knowledge of the compliance of the built technological chain of the chosen
strategyIn the field of material social relationships appear, based on the use of differences between material objects.
requirements contribute to the formulation of the desire to
improve the subsystem in a material form
the consumer acts as the initiator of the launch of known
processesthe supplier performs the task of
inputting the process of the necessary control
signals and
resources obtained at the output of other
processesthe significant
output of the main executable
process is the
product , which can be evaluated for compliance
with the requirementsThe relationship between the ideal and the material:
Requirements for performing a
role in society are accompanied by possible
scenarios leading to the successful performance of this
role.the fulfillment of the social
role is carried out to achieve
customer satisfaction with this service;
customer satisfaction serves to shape the
need to ensure the necessary
performance results from other members of the society
to meet the needs of the
consumer, a member of society acts as a
supplier of this
service / product , while the
product itself at this stage acts as a
projectthe result of the
project is a
product that is evaluated by the
consumer using an
audit - comparing the
project and the
product according to significant
criteriaMarketing and utilities

The next stage in the development of the social is the emergence of interchangeability (development of the army with the advent of types of troops, the opening of collective training, the appearance of workshops in medieval Europe, the allocation of merchants, the emergence of the proletariat)
In the field of the ideal, the opportunity arises for the exchange of
products of labor and the appearance of trade with the release of a universal commodity equivalent — money.
the existence of
relations between representatives of social groups corresponds to the subconscious
division of labor contributes to the search for those
interested in applying their activities and ensuring the maintenance of livelihoods
Stakeholder interaction requires ongoing
management to match developed
projects.considerations of equity require
consideration , which serves to assess the correctness of the
relationshipIn the field of material appear economic
relationships based on the ability to
manage organizational
structures .
the basis of the
relationship is an organizational
copy that is able to fulfill social
requirementsthe
interaction proposal is a contract on the basis of which participants assume the future
elements of the implementation of the contract is a set of
procedures that allow to
evaluate the correctness of the
actions performed
the need for the
completion phase is dictated by the volatility of the
relationship , this is especially evident in the change of brands of mobile phones :-)
The relationship between the ideal and the material:
relationships between elements to facilitate
interaction at this level require a single
instance representing the group
interaction of social groups requires mutual
interest of groups in each other
interaction management takes place through agreed
proceduresaccounting in a continuous
process leads to the need to designate
completion points at which an essentially continuous
process is assessed (financial year, session, elections)
Competitive and Cosmic

The next stage is the development of
competition based on the
rules of the same initial conditions, and thereby expanding the possibility of hierarchical methods of
control for all civilization, the development of previously inaccessible territories (space, ocean) and understanding of humanity’s involvement in global processes of the Earth, Solar System, Universe
Are areas of responsibility that contribute to the development of the noosphere
In the area of the ideal:
many situations that arise in society gives rise to many necessary
rolesfor the appointment of a performer serves the
organizationthe possibility of choosing from a multitude of applicants contributes to the development of
competition in capitalist society as such
competition is used free competition of Adam Smith, in the classless - socialist competition of VI Ulyanov, in sports - championships and Olympic Games
to assess the correctness of the
role is
monitoredIn the field of material:
to self-limit the impact of the potentially infinite expansion of
resource consumption,
responsibility arises for using technical and organizational capabilities
develops
regulations for the implementation of activities that streamline the
responsibilitylimits of applicability of
regulations in time and space are assigned
the main
control parameter is assigned to the
stability of the existence of a certain area of space / time
The discovery of this level corresponds to the publications of KE Tsiolkovsky, as well as science fiction writers of the 20th century.
The relationship between the material and the ideal:
role is assigned to assign
responsibility for any area
regulations contribute to the
organization of a part of society
competition between organizational elements requires the definition of
boundaries between these elements (for example, antitrust laws)
The stability of a part of the space with respect to
regulations and
organization requires
control over the effect of inaction / inaction on these
organizationsChangeable
Competence is used to
assess the compliance of
responsibility for the performance of a
role (education, certification, certification, licensing, etc. are applied)
for compliance of
decisions of the organization to
regulations the
coordination mechanism serves
implementation is carried out within certain
limits , in this case a public (competition, money) or non-public (glory, image, awards)
competition is madethe result is the need of a competitive mechanism, while a stable (linear) change in the
result is a sign of
sustainability , and for the supervision of uniform use of
resources , independent
control is exercised
I hope this set of elements is enough to simulate most applications.
I would be grateful for a reason to change my mind in the form of criticism and wishes.
