The central theme of all worlds is their structural classification enabling pattern oriented behaviors, applicable within particular system ( #TechnoSystem, #SocioSystem, #BioSystem, #EconoSystem). Although there are different granularities of elements (including their hierarchies) in examples below, it is becoming eminent that **SPHERES** philosophy is directly connecting and encapsulating building blocks into behavioral logical groups enabling selection of mission critical **abstraction points** for selected ecosystems. ![[Pasted image 20230709104238.png|Figure 1: Decomposition of World Spheres]] ## The SPHERES classification **Building block** is a fundamental (base) element posing as a representation of particular purpose - matter (why it exists). For business world it is a "trade", enabling exchange of anything (value based transactions). In social world it is really the need to belong, be part of the group (be member) and matter as an individual in specific way. For technology, the need to compute means achieve the ability to calculate (serve and execute) or remember the status (memory unit - 1 bit). Biological world (world of organisms) made of cells is focused on living and basic unit is enabler of this goal. **Group level** connects and encapsulates building blocks (purpose) into higher capacity and brings diversity of individual components into collective understanding in selected world. Business world is bringing transactions via company entity into focus on revenue , structures, execution, planning etc. Processors in Machine World are enabling massive calculations, usage of memory, controlling devices and more. Community of Groups in Social World is printed to specific goal driven by members with elected leaders - profession oriented, hobist, gamers, philosophers, sustainability oriented groups, car enthusiasts etc. In biology we can think about specific materials supported by micro-organisms , non-elemental energy related physical entities, simple plants and so on. **Network level** is transforming groups into network of multi-level entities communicating together via purpose built channels. Networks are critically increasing capabilities of standalone groups to the level of programmable outcomes with applicable theories (i.e. chaos theory, complexity theory). Social Networks (i.e. Facebook, Twitter) are driven by influencers and social patterns; the DNA organizes (programs) cells into the shape of your hand; computer network is architected with layers and protocols and programmed; enterprise corporation is driven by stakeholders and markets with multi-faceted strategies ranging from buying competitors to dominating markets. **New entity** represents ultimate evolution of all relations at lower encapsulation levels. We can clarify new entity as a **Super Organism** or ecosystem itself, consisting from networks of communities, fully dependent on interconnections between them. In a business world it, might be and Industrial Monopoly with company running a planet (or solar systems) - all known ecosystems. In a biological world, humans are representation of a super-entity - we act and behave differently then our components (cells and their networks). In a social world , this might be a Super Society (i.e. meritocracy or collective consciousness) - something not driven by individuals but dedicated to higher purpose. In a machine world, the super entity is a System of Systems, an A.I. helping or dooming (robots) other ecosystems. --- In many cases the "New Entity" or as we call it super-organism is not a good thing (arguably), but it is an ultimate representation of encapsulation of ecosystem (might contain other ecosystems) and it might lead to next ecosystem evolution of particular world. #SPHERES #Ecosystem #PHILOSOPHY ## Related to [[Worlds Reloaded]]
