The World Civilization Network: A Model of the Global World
https://doi.org/10.18384/2949-5148-2023-4-91-102
Abstract
Aim. To study the formation of the concept of the World Civilization Network, which models the modern global civilization.
Methodology. The methodologies of systemic and noospheric approaches, noospheric energetism, and the network method are applied.
Results. The concept of a world civilization network is presented, where the settlements are the nodes, and the connecting lines show the flows of matter, energy, and information. Three variants of the network are considered. Changes in the network occur either in the nodes and propagate through the node’s connections with other node-settlements, or through the excitation of the connections, which also affects the neighboring nodes, the region, or the entire network. The network models not only the modern global civilization, but also the global consciousness, where the units are the united consciousnesses of settlements (cities).
Research implications. The proposed model of the world civilization network contributes to the study of global civilization. The concept allows modeling various global and local processes of the modern world.
