Future development of cosmos. Thus saith Zarathustra

Future development of COSMOS

(Thus saith Zarathustra)

INTRODUCTION

The relation between development and ordering was implicitly touched upon in the book «Noosphere Project as Ordering». The project as a certain abstract scheme of action, as a certain ordering of actions, should create something new, that is, realize actual development. Consequently, an opposition has appeared: the theory of development versus the theory of ordering. But the question arises as to what is primary, what possesses subjectivity – development or ordering. Development causes the emergence of a new order, but the same order, if it has emerged, requires its own development. Ordering itself already means the necessity of development.

The theory of development suggests that in the series of stages of development of contradiction – becoming, antagonism, harmony – the last one has the greatest complexity of development. On the ascending branch of the network of contradictions, development is realized by replacing the old harmony on the spearhead of development with a new harmony.

The future development of COSMOS (beautiful order as the ancient Greeks said) is determined by the successive development of harmonies, starting with Matter as the harmony of BEING (BEING is the antagonism of COSMOS). The development of Matter moved to an ascending branch in the network of contradictions, when harmony is replaced by higher harmony. After absolutism as the harmony of feudalism, development continues as a change of harmonies: capitalism, communist system; then will follow the future noosphere as the harmony of Alive Matter, the future Reasonable Matter (as the harmony of Matter) and the future ORDER (as the harmony of COSMOS).

CONCLUSION

1. Abstract scheme of convergence

According to the theory of development on the ascending branch of the network of contradictions harmony gives rise to a new harmony. In the course of the interaction of harmonies, a third force emerges. The third force is necessary for the opposites of the contradiction, which entered an insoluble clash at the stage of antagonism of harmony, to overcome it. The third force first appears in spontaneous form at the stage of antagonism of antagonism of harmony in order to provide a revolutionary transition to the harmony of antagonism of harmony. Then the third force, having entered as a necessary element in the contradiction, provides a smooth transition to the harmony of harmony.

The antagonism of harmony repeats, but recycles in a new way, that is, in its own way, the preceding antagonism from which our harmony emerged. This is called convergence. For example, the antagonism of capitalism (capitalism is the harmony of the exploitative order) repeats, reworking in a new, capitalistic way, the preceding feudalism, which as the antagonism of the exploitative order precedes capitalism as the harmony of the exploitative order. The exploitative order is the antagonism of the sociosphere.

The meaning of convergence is the synthesis of becoming and antagonism preceding harmony, but on condition of the primacy of becoming. And since becoming has lost its primacy already in the transition to antagonism, a third force is required, going back to the becoming of the supreme contradiction. It is this supreme becoming that ensures the preservation of the primacy of becoming over antagonism in the conditions of convergence of the harmony of antagonism with the harmony of the previous antagonism (Fig. 1).

The third force arises in the course of convergence as its negation. It is this negation that forces the transition into the harmony of the harmony antagonism. This negation extends to the participants of convergence, that is, to the antagonism of the antagonism of harmony and to the antagonism that precedes harmony Therefore, the third force arises on the basis of the return to the supreme becoming that precedes the supreme antagonism that contains the participants of convergence.

The third force arises to provide for the transition from antagonism to harmony of antagonism of harmony, and then, having experienced ordering, it provides for the transition to harmony of harmony and further provides for the development of this harmony of harmony. In the course of such development there is a reverse convergence into the harmony of the preceding antagonism. As a result of the reverse convergence, the third force penetrates into this previous antagonism (into its harmony), with the result that this previous antagonism disintegrates with the emergence of a new harmony of a higher order, which opposes our harmony of harmony. Thus the third force takes the position of primacy in the driving contradiction of the harmony that has arisen.

Thus, the third force arises in the antagonism of the antagonism of the antagonism of the harmony of the antagonism of the higher antagonism as a negation of the convergence with the antagonism that precedes this harmony of antagonism, and it arises on the basis of a return to the principles of higher becoming.

The essence of the antagonism of harmony is convergence with the antagonism that precedes the harmony. At the stage of antagonism of harmony in the course of convergence an inversion of the opposites of contradiction is formed. In the antagonism antagonism stage of harmony, the inversion of opposites is repeated. As a result, these opposites (twice inverted) enter a wedge, which can be overcome only by a third force, which tilted the balance in the direction of the leading opposite and thus ensured the transition to the harmony of antagonism of harmony antagonism. In the further development of harmony this third force will be a necessary element in the system of struggle of opposites of harmony and will ensure the transition to the harmony of harmony (Fig. 2). Looking at the figure we should take into account the fact that it does not show the becoming of harmony, which precedes the antagonism of harmony.

The antagonism of the quasi-antagonism of the antagonism of our harmony experiences convergence with the antagonism of the antagonism of the antagonism of the preceding antagonism. This antecedent antagonism negates the antecedent becoming, which in the course of the development of our harmony must establish primacy over the antagonism. The antagonism of the antagonism of the antagonism of the antagonism of the preceding antagonism also negates the preceding becoming. Therefore, in the course of convergence, this negation of the primacy of prior becoming passes into the antagonism of the quasi-antagonism of the antagonism of the antagonism of the antagonism of our harmony. And from there, already in the course of convergence within the antagonism of the antagonism of our harmony, this negation enters the antagonism of the antagonism of the antagonism of quasi-harmony. Here it meets with the negation which has come in the course of convergence from the antagonism of harmony of the preceding antagonism, which has experienced convergence with the antagonism of the antagonism of the antagonism of the preceding antagonism.

This negation becomes the germ of the third force, for it opens the problem of the necessity of finding a new way of developing harmony. The transition to the harmony of quasi-antagonism is smooth without bifurcation.

The convergence of the harmony of quasi-antagonism with the harmony of antagonism of antagonism made the negation of the primacy of the preceding becoming explicit, which caused the disintegration of quasi-antagonism in the transition to quasi-harmony. One could say that the transition took place quasi-revolutionarily.

But here’s the thing. The quasiharmony of the harmony antagonism experiences a double convergence: with the harmony of the preceding antagonism and with the quasi-antagonism of the harmony antagonism. Figure 2 shows the convergence (past antecedent) of the harmony with the antagonism (line on the left). This convergence at the antagonism stage of harmony caused the formation of the previous third force which created our harmony, the development of whose antagonism we are considering on the right side of the figure. Thus the new third force was formed in the course of convergence with the antagonism of harmony, in which the old third force was created. And since the third force negates convergence, the new third force will be the negation of the old third force. Therefore, the new third force will be a remote analogy to its predecessor, the old third force.

So, the convergence of the antagonism of quasi-harmony with the antagonism of harmony of the antecedent antagonism caused the opposition of the old and new convergences. As a result of this opposition of convergences, a third force arose, negating the becoming that preceded the antagonism, but because of the negation of the old third force and the affirmation of the higher becoming.

The third force that has arisen facilitates a smooth transition (without the bifurcation of the parent antagonism) to the harmony of the quasi-harmony of the antagonism of harmony. The point is that although it is a contradiction of the previous third force, it opposes convergence, or rather, opposes the results of convergence, and thus maintains the original primacy of contradiction. Then the same smooth transition to the harmony of harmony must take place when the third force enters as a necessary element in the contradiction. In the future, after the reverse convergence, it will create a new harmony, taking the position of primacy in the driving contradiction of this new harmony.

The presented scheme of harmony development through convergence is abstracted from the actual history of harmony development. Let us consider this history.

2. The emergence of absolutism as harmony of feudalism

If we consider feudalism as the supreme antagonism, then in the antagonism of the antagonism of the harmony of internecine strife (antagonism of feudalism) in the course of convergence with the antagonism of internecine strife a third force emerges in the form of a bureaucratic system whose prototype was the primary feudal pyramid of the becoming of feudalism. The prototype of the bureaucratic system, acting on the basis of the instinct of domination, allowed the transition to the harmony of antagonism of the harmony of internecine strife, and then to the harmony of the harmony of internecine strife. After that the latter will force the harmony of antagonism of internecine strife harmony to undertake a reverse convergence (to establish its own bureaucracy), which will end with the disintegration of internecine strife and the emergence of absolutism (harmony of feudalism), which will oppose the harmony of internecine strife harmony (Fig. 3).

The antagonism of the harmony of internecine strife experiences convergence with the antagonism of internecine strife. The latter, denying the becoming of internecine strife, affirms the becoming of feudalism. Therefore, establishment and harmony, as well as quasi-establishment and quasi-harmony, affirm the becoming, while antagonism and quasi-antagonism deny the becoming of feudalism. Two negative convergences are found in the antagonism of quasi-harmony: from the antagonism of harmony and from quasi-antagonism. The third force arises as a negation of this negation of the becoming of feudalism, that is, it asserts the original principle of feudalism in the form of the primacy of domination in the form of a bureaucratic system (Fig. 4).

3. The emergence of capitalism as harmony of exploitative social system

If we consider the exploitative system as the supreme antagonism, then in the antagonism of the antagonism of absolutism (the harmony of feudalism) there was a convergence with internecine strife (with the antagonism of feudalism) as a result of which a third force emerges in the form of traders, merchants, the third estate (Fig. 5). They are united by a network of exchange relations, functioning on the basis of the instinct of consumption. This third force is a return to the becoming of the exploitative system (slavery). It allowed the transition to the harmony of antagonism and to the harmony of the harmony of absolutism. Then the harmony of absolutism of feudalism caused a reverse convergence in the harmony of internecine strife as a result of which the third estate was formed, which formed capitalism out of internecine strife in the course of the collapse of feudalism with the separation of capitalism from it (Fig. 6).

4. The emergence of communist social system as harmony of sociosphere

If we consider the sociosphere as the highest antagonism, then in the antagonism of capitalism (the harmony of the exploitative system) there was a convergence with feudalism (racketeering, internecine strife, absolutism). In the antagonism of antagonism of capitalism there was a convergence with the antagonism of feudalism (with internecine strife). As a result, a primitive labor movement (the movement of hired workers) emerged as a third force as a manifestation of collectivism. It emerged from the network of labor relations, although this network is under the control of the network of exchange relations. Labor relations were formed on the basis of the collectivized instinct of domination. This third force is therefore a return to the becoming of the sociosphere, to the primordial collectivism of the primitive communal system. The labor movement contributed to the transition of capitalism into the harmony of antagonism and into the harmony of harmony. In the harmony of capitalism (imperialism) there was a reverse convergence with absolutism with the transfer of the labor movement into it as a third force. Then followed the disintegration of absolutism with the separation of the communist system from the exploitative system (Fig. 7).
