Transmission of Information by Non-genetic Mechanisms

Abstract

Society is considered as a cooperative association of specialized communities of individuals. This new independent object of nature is a special form of collective, supra-individual existence of people, which, thanks to the mutually beneficial information connections of individuals, has all the attributes of a living system. In a supra-individual structure, a network effect occurs - when an impact or service becomes better, the more people use it. From the point of view of topology, the network consists of internal network structures and external ones connected with neighbors. The network may contain closed elements (cycles) and open elements (branches). Individuals functioning autonomously and providing primary data on their own functioning, as a result of cooperation or group symbiosis, create a new unique integral object, by exchanging available data, on the basis of a common cycle of relations between generators, converters, and receivers of information. The network communications infrastructure frees the participants in the communication cycle from the energy costs of searching for and obtaining information resources.
