Tower of Babel as the Metaphor of Hi-Tech Dynamics «Semiotic Attractor»

Abstract

The post-non-classical scientific picture of the world (V. Stepin) introduced the new nonlinear dynamics concepts – processuality, variability, nonlinearity, multidimensionality – for the study of innovations in sociocultural systems. In fundamental nonlinear dynamics studies it was established that the scenarios of complex system dynamics have the spectrum of objective goals interpreted as attractors. The comparison between sociocultural attractors and innovation goals is capable to become the way of social measurements of Sci-Tech. The problem of sociocultural system dynamics measurement for differentiation between actual and illusionary complexity of modern sociocultural systems under the influence of Hi-Tech was discussed. The methodological solution of the problem was proposed and based on the correspondence of self-organization phases, elements of semiotic mechanism of culture, information process stages and characteristics of information.
