There is no culture in the actual world that is perfectly well balanced. Each culture creates tensions of different kinds that end with revolts, revolutions, wars, or other kinds of conflicts. A brief analyses of these movements evidenciate various causes. Some of them are economical causes, other are human rights or other causes. All these causes are due to the social models that are behind different political cultures. These social models create inequities and tensions, favouring some groups of people in the detriment of other groups of people.
The first image of GAIA as a global culture confuses
various cultures with organs of the global organism. Even if the model looks
accurate enough, it is not. This model created unique crops, or centralized
economical model used by the communist countries. As a result, unbalanced
economies in the third world based on cultivation of a unique plant, or
unbalanced economies in the ex- communist countries based on only one kind of
economical product, created revolts, revolutions, and wars. Even if from the
structural perspective these economical models look complete, they don’t cover
the number of dimensions required by humans to get a balanced structure. For
example a culture where only money is appreciated will create de-balance in
achieving social position due to personal skills, and professional merits. Such
a country will become a political Mafia that will not respect human rights,
creating the emigration needs for every person that want to be appreciated
conforming to his or her merits. The lock of specialists will determine soon a
decreasing level of economy, poverty and revolts.
The good and accurate model for GAIA needs to
consider an entire feedback cycle of dimensions (to be, to do, to have, to
become, to protect, and to adjust) that finally will give the possibility to
integrate all cultures in a unique organism. The perspective for analyzing this
model will not be based on the relationship between cultures and organs, but
between organisms, biologic and global, and their identical functions. For
example the contemporary world is already partially structured like this. We
have a blood system created by the global economy, in which money replaces
feeder cells. We have a global defense system created by INTERPOL, and NATO, we
have even a periferic nervous system created by the Internet. There are many
other international organisms that create connections across various cultures,
and intersect each other in different ways for different cultures, creating
cultures- organs as a need for adaptation to these various functions. This
model is still very simplistic, but it is a very important step towards the
ideal of the global culture GAIA.
This article has as purpose to give the technical
tools for determining all these functions that need to be transferred from the
biological organism to the social organism, the relationships among organs and
functions, the number of dimensions required for a well balanced cultural
organism. Because of this purpose, these articles will contain medical terms,
and medical analyses, that will be useful in understanding the circulation of
information in a living organism. The article will transfer these organic
models to cultural issues on various directions, targeting the actual
structures, and other potential structures required in the future by GAIA.
Different stages of development of the global culture Gaia as an unique
cultural organism will be partially considered as similar with the development
of an complex organism from a cell to simple collection of nondifferentiated
cells forming a colony, to a culture of differentiated cells forming a simple
organism with organs; than to the stage of more complex organism able to
regenerate from an organic segment; to the stage of complex organism able to
regenerate some organs; and finally to the stage of a complex organism that is
so complex that every part is irreplaceable. From the sociologic perspective
the last stage will be the one of the global peaceful world, in which humanity
and environment will form a symbiotic global organism. Each stage enumerated
here corresponds also with a stage of embryonic evolution.
For each
stage the functions of organism are different as level of complexity. The
social analyses that are isomorphic with the biological evolution will
evidenciate functions- programs, organs-institutions, and biological
relationships-social relationships. The main quality of this comparison is
evidenciation of flaws, needs, evolution and perspective in the social
structures that have to be consistent with the biological pattern to create a
well balanced social organism. This assumption starts from the hypothesis that
a living organism is structured to respond to the same specific needs as a complex
social organism. It also hypothesizes that a living organism’s functions form a
complete set of functions able to assure survival and evolution. Another
hypothesis used in this model is the existence of complex relationships among
various compounds of an organism, relationships supposing informational
feedback cycles. These feedback cycles will behave using the same pattern
generated by the two halves of the feedback: the self-stimulating half and the
self-inhibitory half. The general pattern of these behaviors will be
represented as a graph theory, and is supported by an homological algebraic
theory; algebraic fractals and fractal varieties, that basically develop
structures with different stages of complexity, but that respects at any level
the same basic rules. In this article, only the graph theory will be applied in
an empiric model (see http://www.austega.com/florin/,
algebraic fractals, fractal varieties).
These feedback cycles that characterize the informational connection between two informational components will also characterize an internal dialog between two organic components of the same biological or social organism, and an external dialog between two partners of dialog.
As a potential of this theory is the prediction possibility of human global society considering comparative analyses of the evolution of a living organism.
The main idea of this theory is: socio-genesis repeats embriogenesis,
and the isomorphic behavior of socio-genesis and embriogenesis creates a
connection among functions-programs, and organs institutions. The main
advantage of this theory is the possibility of prediction for the future of the
global world GAIA, diagnosis of various stages of development of GAIA, and
creation for potentials of strategies able to correct various social diseases,
as tumors leading to uncontrolled development of young cultures in the
detriment of other cultures or of the global organism, self-immune diseases
leading to wars, or other diseases. Isomorphic informational needs and patterns
for the two or three phenomena can prove this isomorphism: socio-genesis,
organo-genesis, and philo-genesis. This article will start with the analyses of
the actual stage of cultural and social development, by comparison with various
stages of organic development of an organism.
Instead of exoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm, we will
consider the three main social philosophies: Buddhism, Old Testament derived
philosophies, and Animism. Buddhist and other Asian philosophies as Hinduism,
Brahmanism, created a cultural root that can be connected with the functions of
the nervous system and derived tissues. Old Testament religions as
Christianity, Muslim, or Jewish religions are connected with the osteo-muscular
system. Animist religions like various forms of Shamanism create similar
functions with the internal organs of an organism, considering also the
internal environment of an organism similar with the natural and social
environment of GAIA. During embriogenesis, these three main tissues differentiate,
conquer each other’s territory, creating in the final the unique living
organism. During socio-genesis of Gaia similar interference took place among
the main three cultural philosophies. They interfere, conquer each other’s
territory, fight against each other even if have common roots until find the
cultural balance that is isomorphic with the organic balance. A living organism
is monitored by mother’s organism, or by the proteic complex containing all
packages of information required by development. Gaia’s development needs also
to be monitored by packages of programs, and these programs can be determined
by comparing GAIA’s development with the embriogenesis of a living organism.
This article focuses on the technical instruments able to assess these
developments. The final assessment must be done by the authorized responsible
organizations that create the globalization policies.
The actual stage of development of GAIA is still a
primitive one, requiring and using a small number of functions, but it is the
possibility of an accelerated development in the future. The environmental
problems, increasing number of people and exhaustion of resources will
significantly contribute at this acceleration. At this moment Gaia is still
built from metamers (cultures) interconnected to each other in sequences (areas
of trust), but from a short time connected also by a periferic nervous system
(the Internet). Gaia has the tendency to develop a unique economical
organisation (unique market), unique defence system (NATO, Interpol), Unique
systems of values for various areas of trust (equivalent with
neurotransmiters). The system of diplomatic protocols, and international laws
that reglement intercultural behavior is part of this unique value systems. It
is also the tendency in GAIA’s development to avoid destruction of any cultural
component. This tendency is reglemented bu human rights movement. It is also
the tendency of inclusion of environment in GAIA’s metabolism through
environmental protection movements. GAIA is at the moments of passage between
the stage in which different components that are destroyed can be reformed, and
the stage of final stability in which more elaborated organic systems like
brain are formed. From GAIA’s perspective a brain will be a complex organ that
will take care of GAIA’s metabolism (business community). Another stage of this
brain development will be given by the global problems assessment. For this the
system of education on the Internet that respect cultures, individual
giftedness, economical needs, and promote environmental protection is required.
At the actual moment the system of communication and feeding given by market,
act more or less randomly without closing every feedback. This perspective
shows us that GAIA is developed in an un-even way. The previous attempts to
develop a fixed ruling system for market, failed, going to simplicity in
policies, and creating poverty. Both versions: random behavior and centralised
economy proved to be wrong. This is also a cause for the request of a more
complex economical approach that imitates the economy of a living organism.
How the future world will look considering these
aspects? How people will develop their personality? Will continue to survive
noble principles like freedom or everything will become an organism of obedient
human insects? The answer at these questions can be obtained considering GAIA’s
evolution up to the actual moment. The set of rules that gives the possibility
for the global world to survive on the planet is not completely deterministic.
It makes a frame of feedback cycles oriented at various directions and
dimensions in a hyper-cubic model. This frame of the hyper-cube will give the
possibility of existence of various cellular automata that will regulate the
behavior of individuals and society, considering various inputs. This means
that some people will simply obey rules, some other will assess these rules,
and other people will adjust these rules. Other people will make their own
rules that will become an engine for new adaptation of GAIA at a different
stage of development, or will have a perfectly free behavior. In conclusion,
GAIA'’ development will not suffocate individual development, but by contrary
will give the possibility to develop personality in a more varied way.
Where are we now?
This question is very important for the process of
understanding of GAIA’s evolution. We have already several major social
philosophies and directions. We started the process of cultural interference
for any geographical place, country, and local culture; we started to create
global functions, and global institutions. Transferring in embriogenesis we are
after the stage of development of spina cordata, but before the development of
a brain. We still can replace a damaged social organ, but soon this will be
impossible. At this level of development by exciting a tissue we can obtain an
additional organ, and by removing a metamer, it will reappear. Specialisation
of tissues are not yet complete, each cell preserving the capacity for readjusting
to a different role, migrate, and reconstruct a new organ. By picking spina
cordata we obtain later a new head, arm, or other organ or metamer. This is the
danger for our stage, to develop monstrous hybrids unable to survive later.
These hybrids can be economical, cultural, defence, or other hybrids that can
form by exciting different cultural tissues. In embriogenesis this stage
corresponds with the formation of the first specialized tissues that are not
yet organs with a very delimited functional role. From the social evolution
perspective our stage of GAIA’s development corresponds with a similar
tendency. We form now global social structures that are not very much involved
in the global balance, but that give a premise for a later involvement.
We didn’t sacrifice yet several metamers to form
very specialised organs like brain. Highly specialised people who will be later
the components of the global brain are still avoided and frequently rejected by
their people, are not selected as leaders, and frequently are regarded with
hostility as potentially dangerous people who have the potential for changing
the system. This stage is not yet definitive, and has the tendency for a very
fast transformation and evolution due to the various crises accumulated.
Our main difference from the embryonic development
is constituted by our lock of supervise. Apparently no other structure
supervises GAIA’s development. Embrion is supervised by mother’s organism who
correct any defective development. If the embryo is in an egg, the proteic
albuminic blanket containing biochemical programs will supervise this
development. Gaia is apparently isolated and not supervised. Its development
can be random and self-destructive because of this fact. A potential control
can be done by a referential created by comparing sociogenesis with
embriogenesis, and by introducing various programs corresponding with functions
by specialized institutions. Organs corresponding with global institutions will
develop as a result of introducing new function that will solve various crises
creating new potentials.
If human species was aggressed by the environment at
its previous stages of development, became aggressors of the environment later,
at this stage has to make peace with the environment, including it as a
metabolic compound of its development in the global culture Gaia. This
relationship with the environment can be considered to be similar with the
supervising relationship with placenta, or with the albuminic blanket of birds’
egg. By destroying this placenta GAIA will die. In the backside of this
placenta can be or not a supervising mother’s organism. From the social
development perspective this means that we don’t know yet if we need
controlling institutions for the global development of GAIA, or this
development will not need any control, being inscripted in the environmental
blanket’s program. This is something to study, and direct interventions will be
made only in case of dangerous deviations from a normal development. Our
tendency for different kinds of rights, and for freedom, and other principles
can be interpreted both as a reminiscence of some previous stages of
development in which specialisation was not required, and as a future
development that will be more complex than an embryonic development.
The mathematical frame able to describe this
development is given by cellular automata build on fractal varieties formed by
feedback cycles. This theory gives various stages of development in which each
stage respects the main characteristics of the previous stage, but develops new
characteristics for the next stage. Considering this aspect, sociogenesis will
be much more complex that embriogenesis but will respect in the main directions
the same principles and algorithms of development. Another aspect of these
cellular automata is given by their enormous number of possible response to a
stimulus that will organise in fields of responses with definite directions and
geodesics. From the social modeling perspective this fact will correspond with an
extreme adaptability to conditions variation, and with preservation of the main
directions in varied conditions that will determine a change. A better
understanding of these behaviors will be possible only with computer program
applications. A frame of hyper-cubic cellular automata formed by feedback
cycles of a fractal’s variety level able to describe social complexity, will
generate a very dynamic behavior that will simulate the social behavior. By
completing with feedback cycles on any direction, will appear holes in the net
that will circulate in the hyper-cubic matrix, forming a complex computational
system very sensitive to external information. This intelligent behavior of
cellular automata can be studied with computer programs, and can be translated
into social behavior description. Both feedback cycles in cellular automata and
society are formed by the same way describing relationships among elements,
using the system of automorphisms of different sets.
Considering ther practical perspective of GAIA’s
development in parallel with embriogenetic development we can make the
following parallel. During embriogenesis there is a stage in which is formed
the neural tube as the first differentiated tissue. This neural tube will
precede the peripheral nervous system, and will assure the possibility of
communication and coordination of information. The next stage will
differentiate another function; the circulatory function that permits to feed
the different parts of the embryo. Into the third stage we can notice the
development of a digestive tube including later the liver. These tissues will
assure a new function, specific assimilating components for different tissues.
The following stage will differentiate a communication system with the
placenta. The fifth stage will differentiate an excretory function that will
lead in time to an excretory system. The sixth stage will generate sexual
organs. A parallel with GAIA’s development as a cultural global organism will
prove the same pattern. After the collection of cultures will enter in
globalization process something similar with the neural tube (the Internet)
will appear assuring communication and information coordination. The second
stage, the circulatory system that will create the feeding, defending, and oxygenation
possibilities will be in parallel with the development of an unique economy, in
which everybody to find a job in any culture, and in which an unique currency
policy to be consider in rewarding the work. GAIA does not yet adopt this
system. We can see signs for this direction, in globalization’ policies and we
can certainly see the negative reactions of the poor world regarding the unfair
distribution of welfare. Can be considered that GAIA is now at this moment,
challenging a new functional stage of development. The third stage, meaning the
digestive tube and the liver that can synthesize specific feeding component for
various tissues, regards the relationship with the environment. The program of
Rio for durable development targets this function, but considering this
parallel, a perfect coordination for this function will be possible only after
the second system will be completely implemented. It is required a perfect
coordination of the natural resources and of the environment to rich this goal.
The actual devastating liberal philosophy is not able to protect neither
resources nor the environment.
The communication of the embryo with placenta will
mean for GAIA, a very cooperating behavior between the human species and all
the others components of the environment. This function will presume new
technologies that will not heart the environment any more, and is at this
moment just some kind of science fiction. This stage will presume also the
complete fulfillment of the previous stage in which resources and environment
will be considered in a cooperating way with human civilization. The fifth
stage the excretion function will mean something that we can not define yet. We
don’t know yet what kinds of GAIA’s metabolic products need to be eliminated,
and which of them are considered acceptable and desirable. We can see some
primordiums of this function in various cultures that select and promote some
kinds of behaviors, or people, rejecting other, but there is no evaluation yet
regarding the reasons of this behavior. The last stage considered in this study
is related to a faster human evolution, by selecting the best human exemplars.
Probably in the final this stage will create a different kind of human being,
more evolved, with less primitive behavior and with a larger cosmic
perspective. The embriogenesis develops latter an entire set of functions, more
complex than the previous stage, that transferring to GAIA’s development will
probably create the adult cultural organism. The actual stage when the three embryonic
leaves are formed, and the digestive tube is targeted, when the neural tube is
not yet a nervous system and doesn’t assure an efficient control of the
information is one of the most dangerous for GAIA’s development. At this stage
the environment replacing placenta has the possibility to reject monstrous
development. We can see now that global warming, mondial dry, and other
phenomena caused by the industrial pollution are reactions of the environment
against this monstrous development. GAIA can die, and human species too at
these stage very easy. In order to live, GAIA has to go to the next stage, in
time to avoid a too great imbalance. These political problems that usually are
negotiated by different states have a random behavior right now, because depend
on the wish of some small groups of [people who have money control. It depends
on us if humanity and GAIA will survive and develop or not.
This parallel between embryogenesis and
socio-genesis might look to be artificial for a not attentive eye, but it is
not. It is perfectly natural, and well adjusted to reality. Both these
structures will consider similar conditions for development, a finite space:
the egg, or mother’ organism and the earth. They consider finite regenerable
resources, and finite not-regenerable resources for both cases. Mother’s
organism brings food periodically, so do the environment that periodically feed
the increasing population. Both consider a stress factor that is similar, both
the embryo, and humanity parasiting mother’s organism or environment. Both
consider the same tendency to escape mother’s control by corrupting it, and
mother’s tendency to control this development. This parallel can continue in
every detail in order to give an empirical list of similarities. The scientific
perspective created by the fractal variety perspective shows the same think.
Even if these two structures GAIA, and embryo are not identical, and GAIA is
more complex, it will respect every behavior of the embryo, developing a new
set of specific behaviors that are not studied in this article. Two different
stages of a fractal variety have this behavior, and cellular automata developed
on these varieties respect the frame of specific feedback cycles that
constitute the basis of fractal varieties theory.
It is certainly difficult to approach humanity as an
organism and most people will contest this approach, but if we don’t do now, it
is possible to be no future for GAIA, and implicitly for humanity. We can
consider the depth of the actual crisis that hardly find any solution, but we
have a perfect example of solutions for similar crises at the development of an
embryo. Like many times before these solutions developed by the nature can be
only followed and transposed in a different situation. We can do this if we
renounce to our arrogance, to our limited perspectives, and to pure simplistic
points of view. This will be the only guaranty of the peace.
