Studying the self-organization of things at different levels of the world's structural organization

The central question of the methodology for studying the self-organization of things in the world is the coordination of the world’s nonlinearity, conditioned by its ubiquitous nonequilibrium states and processes, with its extraordinary stability and optimality. This is possible by focusing on the interactions of the equilibrium boundaries of a specific thing with three areas: the environment, the level of the world’s structural equilibrium, and the domain of rhythms. This approach also allows these things to connect with their limit equilibria, the totality of which, arising in the processes of their self-organization, creates a coordinate system for the world. The “equilibrium dynamic boundary of a thing” is supported by the “domain of formation of the thing’s equilibrium boundary.” It is often more convenient to consider, instead of this boundary, its projections onto the three aforementioned areas, which leads to the identification of “boundary-environment,” “boundary-structure,” and “boundary-rhythm.” The approach we are developing is not associated with the desire to identify a universal philosophical category or concept, but rather explores the unity of analogies between processes and phenomena in the interaction of things at various levels of the world’s organization through their equilibrium dynamic boundaries.The tendencies of self-organization are examined for four levels of the world: physical-material, organic-living, mental, and historical-spiritual. Everywhere, there is a confrontation between the ordering tendencies that occur in the interaction of things with the environment (gravity, development, individual consciousness, free consciousness) and processes of chaos, which allows us to identify the equilibrium boundary as the foundation of the structural sublevels of the world. These sublevels are: energy, life, the unconscious, and spirituality, which also become chaotic, resulting in the emergence of boundaries of stable rhythms. The chaotization of the latter again leads to boundaries in the interactions of things with the environment.
