СУЧАСНА КОРЕВОЛЮЦІЯ: ДІЯЛЬНІСНИЙ ЗМІСТ І ДІАЛЕКТИКА ПІЗНАВАЛЬНИХ ТА КОГНІТИВНИХ СИСТЕМ

Abstract

Modern co-revolution is presented as an important component of the historical transition from the era of objectification to the era of humanization, from the industrial era to the post-industrial and epoch-making humanizing revolution; the dialectical unity of the latest industrial and knowledge-information-digital revolutions in the context of global evolutionary-revolutionary processes. The past mechanical, modern electronic-digital and future post-electronic stages of the knowledge-information-digital revolution are characterized. The transformation of an electronic computer into an information and communication machine with a possible quantum, biological and/or optical element base is considered. The concepts of “human-sized cognitive system” and “machine-sized cognitive system” are substantiated. Within the dialectic of these systems, emphasis is placed on their relative isolation, primacy, the dominance of the former over the latter, and the inclusion of the latter in the former. The probable structure of machine-sized cognitive systems are determined. In particular, it is accepted that sensory-cognitive work with the surface layer of the object is performed by sensor machines, generalizing-cognitive work with the subsurface layer of the object by generalizing machines, intellectual-cognitive work with essential layers of the object by intellectual machines, cognitive-applied work with the target layer of the object by pragmatist machines, cognitive-integrative work with the object as a whole by integrator machines. Energy, communication, management work and storage functions of derived information and digital products are designed to be performed, respectively, by such machines as energizers, communicators, managers and storagers. The example of the interaction of sensory-emotional cognitive activity of man and the activity of the sensory machine, as well as human memory and storager systems shows the decisive role of man and the growing role of the machine in modern cognitive processes. Thus, despite the active mechanization of the spiritual and mental humanized essential human forces, the main actor of modern co-revolution and knowledge-information-digital revolution remains man.
