consider its connection with Fuller's geometric methodology, in which deuce and
interaction are proclaimed the true unity of the universe.
In fairness, it should be said that, in part, graphical graphical and click-analytic
interpretations of social networks built around the right figures and structures of
distant interaction, as well as certain types of hierarchies (managerial or
professional) can also be considered through fuller's concepts; However, by and
large, the attempts of structural-geometric and social-network thinking are
developing today more in manipulative technological paradigms weaponry, rather
than omni-life-saving livingry.
Be that as it may, the principles of project management of the world of object-
property forms of the human environment, and the principles of social design,
must still be connected within the framework of a single concept of presence-
man-in-the-world, since, ultimately, they are based on one and the same
universal principles can not be contradictory to one another, unlike the perverse
quasi-metaphysics of modern physical theories, in which the most metaphysical
speculation is replaced by cumbersome mathematisms without solutions,
decades of ineffective sos ykovat own paradigms. Therefore, the question of, so
to speak, "social geometry" in principle should and can be put, and "social design"
– to play an "alchemical wedding" with "integrated design" (which is discussed
later in the section where approaches are compared to project activities of
Grigoriev and Papanek).
How do they talk about governance today?
Perhaps the most important problem of the current time for Russia and for the
whole world is the problem of management, and all other problems on it, one
way or another, become isolated. The requirement of greater complexity of the
manager relative to the managed one leads either to the reduction of the second
from the side of the first (which is already quite noticeable in the form of all sorts
of archaizations) or to a change in the system to an auto-poetic state when the
control and controllable form a single whole; which, in its turn, assumes in the
present conditions that the area of the origin of such an auto-poise must
invariably be a region of controlled, as more complex, because the manager who
is actually closed to himself and to his own needs will be devastated by the
controlled (and already does).

To this we should add that the earliest and most accurate predictions of economic
crises – both current (the 2012 problem), which is not only talked about by the
lazy, but also by the future ones (problem 2030-2050), about which only a few are
at risk, only with the analysis of management tendencies, but also directly with
the technologies of expert support for man-machine control systems. These
conversations began just 30 years ago, with reports to the Club of Rome on the
limits of growth, which stood three editions on the basis of three rounds of
comprehensive studies, each of which sadly confirmed the previous forecast.
Today, up to the problems predicted in the last of these reports, there are also
about 30 years left, as when everyone was offered to give up the gold standard
and start living on credit, eating the resources of future generations. But even
today, many "experts" continue to measure public welfare in terms of economic
growth. It seems that they did not watch one well-known film where a fat hero in
the performance of Terry Jones explodes from a small mint tablets, splashing
around with his own vomit ... Then the question of expert management systems
was inseparable from the question of the means and methods of decision-making,
control points and issuance of managers signals, and meanwhile today the topic
of low level of provision of situational control systems with automated means of
expert decision support remains topical. Is it accidental? Was it accidentally
forgotten the basics?
But the main question (which for some reason today is somewhere by someone,
if it is put, it's somehow imperceptible) is the question of what is management
and management of what? The answer to it, which was that the highest form of
government is viable management (and self-management) by viable systems, is
also somehow forgotten. Go, start today to explain the breakthrough of managers
(especially government, especially Russian) about viable systems! There
everything is simple: viability is the ability to snatch and go through the
authorities.
Today, there is a lot of chatter, cutting money, lying and incompetence around e-
democracy, electronic people's government, democracy. Some try to get into the
mess of current foreign summaries and statistics (mostly English-speaking ones)
and clarify something about this concept without having the slightest idea of
where the phenomenon originated from, or that it is in fact, and therefore
completely unimportant and lost in conjecture about the fact that there is a
25
correct idea of this. Sincerely believing that this very concept can be clearly
clarified in the news flow from the country that generated the Internet. It is
understood that electronic democracy is an archival means of solving
management problems. Of course, being an excuse for political demagogy, it
becomes a means of forging political capital, and also quite a personal financial
one, by pawning the huge state funds allocated for this incomprehensible
business, which thoroughly discredits the very concept whose nature is not
explained to the majority of the abused population. The book mentions within the
framework of which project the very idea of electronic democracy arose, what
form it had originally, but most importantly – within the framework of what
concept of social structure it was embodied. And this device, perhaps, is the most
important moment with regard to the rational management of the country.
History shows that a very effective e-government system directly denies both a
heavy bureaucratic machine, an opaque corruption apparatus, and self-contained
corporate structures. An attempt to combine electronic control with these things
today in Russia, and not only in it – ridiculous delusions, similar to the call for
compliance with sterile conditions in the garbage dump. The only sphere where
such management is present is financial. Two weeks are still fresh in memory,
when after the collapse of large American companies in 2008 the exchanges
remained calm, as soulless trade robots did not have any business before this
collapse. But this "financial" aspect of management is another very important,
and even the cornerstone among the things considered in the book.
The history of man-machine control systems and decision-making systems is, first
of all, the history of the so-called "situational centers", not only originating in the
1970s, but also marking the whole paradigm of the way of development of
information technologies, radically different from the paradigm that formed
today's mass view of information technology, and more precisely – the idea of
mass information technology. It was then that there was a fork in the ways of
technological development, which, nevertheless, it is today that can intersect in a
bizarre way, although for this it is necessary to realize with the utmost clarity their
difference. One of the first things that needs to be realized here is that talking
about tasks and functions of situational centers without regard to other
components of human-machine control systems is like talking about facial
expressions regardless of the head of which it is a part. Another thing that needs
