Abstract

The article is one of the aspects of the theory of rational systems - the author's approach designed to interpret and model the world of «new rationality», in which not only the «traditional» carriers of rationality - people, communities, groups, states, but also technology take an active part. Rational systems theory tries to describe «traditional» and «non-traditional» actors with the same tools - cybernetics, general systems theory, structural functionalism, network analysis. In this article, special attention is paid to technical systems, understood as rational systems, however, the author refrains from the actor-network equalization of «humans» and «non-humans», pointing out the irreducibility of the ontologies of natural, spontaneous rationality and artificial rationality. Multi-level systems, coexisting with each other, reveal in themselves a completely different architecture. The study is devoted to identifying these differences.
