Arbitrariness in Nature: Synergetics and Evolutionary Laws of Prohibition
Journal for General Philosophy of Science. 2000. Vol. 31. No. 1. P. 57–73.
Haken H., Knyazeva H.
The philosophical consequences of synergetics, the interdisciplinary theory
of evolution and self-organization of complex systems, are being drawn in the paper. The
idea of discreteness of evolutionary paths is in the focus of attention. Although the
future is open, and there are many alternative evolutionary paths for complex systems, not any arbitrary (either conceivable or desirable) evolutionary path is feasible in a given system. There are discrete spectra of possible evolutionary paths which are determined exclusively by inner properties of the corresponding systems. Synergetics allows us to reveal general laws of self-organization and, therefore, certain limits of arbitrariness of nature in choosing possible paths of evolution as well as in constructing of a complex evolutionary whole. A comparative analysis between the modern synergetic notions and a few ideas of the Western philosophy (F. Nietzsche, N. Hartmann, M. Heidegger) and of the Eastern teachings (Taoism, Buddhism) is made.

This article examines the transformation of political theology, or political ontotheology, in the era of late capitalism. The author first analyzes the specifics of nihilism as interpreted by Nietzsche and Heidegger, then moves on to a consideration of epistemological, ethical, and political relativism, the general essence of which consists of a nihilistic rejection of a ...

In this paper, an improved approach for automatic wildlife detection in natural environments based on the integration of a neural network architecture with a two-stream attention mechanism and a novel preclassification step based on infrared data has been presented. The proposed method addresses one of the key challenges in environmental monitoring: the need for scalable ...

Modern knowledge and large volumes of data are increasingly encoded within neural networks, making the task of simplifying their structures and reducing the number of parameters especially relevant, both to improve efficiency and to facilitate deployment in resource-constrained environments. This paper presents a novel approach to neural network compression that addresses redundancy at both the ...

This paper describes our research on creating classifiers for microbial images (micrococci microscopy images) obtained from pictures of unfixed microscopic scenes. In our work, we propose an AutoML approach based on the automatic generation and analysis of the feature space for constructing the most optimal descriptors of microorganism images for subsequent classification. This makes it ...

The lack of annotated microscopic datasets remains a major obstacle to training robust deep learning models for microbial classification. In this paper, a novel data augmentation pipeline that uses visual–linguistic large-scale models to generate synthetic microscopic images of six different bacterial and nonbacterial classes has been proposed. Synthetic samples have gradually been added to the ...

This paper presents a novel method for pruning deep neural networks based on the concept of flow, derived from the continuous modeling of signal propagation across layers. We derive flow functions for fully connected, convolutional, and self-attention architectures, and we propose a new iterative pruning algorithm, Iterative Flow-Aware Pruning (IFAP), that leverages these measures to ...

We extend the static pattern analysis method to the temporal dimension by introducing a six-type trajectory taxonomy that classifies objects according to the frequency and structure of pattern switches over an observation window of T > 8 periods. For each object, a reference pattern is designated as the most frequently occupied group over the observation ...

This article examines the integration of large language model based chatbots into educational practices in Russian higher education through the lens of critical theory and curriculum ideologies. Drawing on Ivan Illich’s concept of convivial tools and Jürgen Habermas’s distinction between instrumental and communicative rationality, the authors conceptualize large language models as technologies capable of operating ...

This paper explores the performance criteria of the newest algorithm for solving the problem of finding shortest paths on a graph from a given vertex – Bounded Multi-Source Shortest Path Algorithm
(BM-SSP). The algorithm was published in 2025 and, as its creators claim, it is asymptotically superior to Dijkstra’s deterministic algorithm. However, in the publication devoted ...

The study is devoted to the identification of the specifics of humanism and mercy as
traditional spiritual and moral values of modern Russia. The special role of these axiological
attitudes, frankly virtuous nature suggests their dominant position. Avoiding discussion about
the interpretation of these categories, an attempt is made to identify the implementation of
virtuous actions, which can be ...

Clarity of knowledge and reasoning is necessary in many cases. Yet vagueness in scientific thinking related to surprise, curiosity, "ability to engage with not-knowing" (de Freitas) and abductive reasoning is also a crucially important source of scientific creativity which supplements combinatorial logic when dealing with the already known. Starting from studies by C. S. Peirce ...

This study investigates the dynamical origins and statistical properties of extreme events (EEs) in a diffusively coupled theoretical Brusselator system, extending from pairwise interactions to globally coupled networks. Statistically, the emergence of EEs is characterized by heavy-tailed probability density functions and exponential interevent interval distributions, alongside an analysis of the complementary cumulative distribution function and ...

The article presents arguments in defense of free will. It criticizes the approach based on the concept of physicalism, from the position of which rigid incompatibilists reduce human consciousness to the activity of brain neurons, and processes at all levels of being to physical laws. Although physical laws and unconscious brain activity condition human decisions ...
