Appendix 14

Glossary of terms

 
Agrarian society - society based on agriculture and farming, and was the main form of socio-economic organization for about 10 000 years.
 
Aristocracy - The term "aristocracy" is derived from the Greek aristokratia, meaning the rule of the best. It is a hereditary form of government, “born to rule” with a belief in their own superiority. Power is maintained by an hereditary elite, from a caste, family or even individuals.
 
Autocracy is a form of government in which a single self-appointed ruler holds the political power. The term autocrat is derived from the Greek word autokratōr (lit. "self-ruler", or "he who rules by one's self").
 
Authority - is the ability to enforce laws, to exact obedience, to command, to determine, or to judge.
 
Basic contradiction - According G. W. Hegel "Contradiction in nature is the root of all motion and of all life." The Basic contradiction is the one, which in a whole set of contradictions plays the decisive role in development. The basic contradiction of modern society is between financial capital and political power. Unlawful marriage between money and political power create corporatocracy, which is “Absolute capitalism”. Resolution of this basic contradiction is in separation between money and political power. The basic contradiction of advanced Technological civilisation is between exponentially rising of knowledge and increasing vulnerability of society. Resolving this contradiction is in transition from money-driven to knowledge-based society.
 
Binary economics is the expression of a new universal paradigm or new understanding of reality that creates a new economics, a new politics, a new justice and a new morality. Binary economics (means “composed of two” – humans factor and capital). It is fundamentally different from all known economical schools. The philosophy of binary economics is -justice, which creates efficiency and an efficiency, which creates justice”. Binary economics is a theory of economics that endorses both private property and a free market but proposes significant reforms to the banking system. Binary economics contains no expropriation of wealth, and much less redistribution will be necessary. It cannot cause inflation and could create a stable economy. Binary economics is knowledge-based and belief that society has an absolute duty to ensure that all humans have rights to equal opportunities, as well as a responsibility to protect the environment for its own sake.
 
Brainwashing - A form of indoctrination that forces people to abandon their beliefs in favour of another set of beliefs by conditioning through various forms of pressure or torture.
 
Capitalism - is a socio-economic system based on private property rights, including the private ownership of resources or capital, with economic decisions made largely through the operation of a free market rather than by state control. Capitalist systems are governed by the free price system set by the law of supply and demand rather than government regulation, though this does not exclude government defining and enforcing the basic rules of the market. Nowadays all of the capitalistic societies of the West have mixed economies that temper capitalism with interventionist government regulation and social programs.
 
Civilization is level of development of humanity as a whole due to achieved mode for generation, processing and verification of knowledge. Hundreds cultures are “melted” to create single civilization. So far there are only three known civilizations – empirical (positive knowledge is generated and verified trough “trial and error”), technological (positive knowledge is generated trough experiments and discovered laws of natural sciences) and forthcoming humanitarian civilization (positive knowledge will be generated trough revealed laws of human and social sciences)
 
Collaborative decision-making mechanism – decisions made by collaboration of self-selected experts to find feasible solution, verified by social practice, which works in favour of society as a whole. By definition there is no vote at all. (Netocracy)
 
Collective decision-making mechanism – decisions made by voting system, which works in favour of majority. (See Democracy).
 
Communism – socio-economic system that promotes the establishment of a classless, stateless society based on common ownership of the means of production and property in general, with economic decisions made largely through the ideology of single political party and state control. Socialism supposes to be first step of Communism. Communism attempts to offer an alternative to the problems believed to be inherent with capitalist economies and the legacy of imperialism and nationalism. Communism states that the only way to solve these problems would be for the working class, or proletariat, to replace the wealthy bourgeoisie, which is currently the ruling class, in order to establish a peaceful, free society, without classes, or government.
 
Conscience is a hypothesized ability or faculty that distinguishes whether our actions are right or wrong. In plain English, it is a person's inner sense of what is right or what is wrong morally. It leads to feelings of remorse when we do things that go against our moral values, and to feelings of rectitude or integrity when our actions conform to our moral values. It is also the attitude, which informs our moral judgment before performing any action. The extent to which such moral judgments are based in reason has been a matter of controversy almost throughout the history of Western philosophy. Commonly used metaphors refer to the "voice of conscience" or "voice within."
 
Consciousness - (1. in psychology) is a constellation of attributes of mind such as subjectivity, self-awareness, sentience, and the ability to perceive a relationship between oneself and one's environment. It has been defined from a more biological and causal perspective as the act of autonomously modulating attentional and computational effort, usually with the goal of obtaining, retaining, or maximizing specific parameters (food, a safe environment, family, mates). Consciousness may involve thoughts, sensations, perceptions, moods, emotions, dreams, and an awareness of self, although not necessarily any particular one or combination of these.
 
Consciousness -- (2. in anthropology and philosophy) is awareness of a person's self, environment, and thought. As a result, it is the fundamental basis for all philosophy, as what exists outside consciousness (matter) is in one way or another reflected in consciousness. It is cultural phenomena. Not to be confused with thinking - mind think process), consciousness - know (accumulated knowledge). Process of thinking could be dated back to 30,000 years. The first glimmerings of consciousness and introspection came since the beginning of civilisation around 3000 years ago, after our ancestors had developed languages, farming, and even after they had built cities. For instance absence of consciousness-related language in the older sections of the Iliad, indicate lack of modern self-awareness in man during this time period. Actions in the Iliad are commanded by the gods. Consciousness evolve from animism, magical thinking to mythical and ultimately objective thinking based on formal and dialectical logic.

 
Corporatocracy - is a government bowing to pressure from corporate entities. The Corporatocracy works by corrupting democratically elected governments around the globe, by convincing them to buy unneeded infrastructures. The goal of the Corporatocracy is to subdue by plunging into debt third world countries, in order to have the full control of their political life. The Corporatocracy has the same features of a standard empire, with the only peculiar characteristic that it has been established by financial institutions rather than military force. The Corporatocracy is a common concept in all the western countries, but only in the case of the US Government has it rose as an empire.
 
Corruption - is the abuse of entrusted power for private gain. It hurts everyone whose life, livelihood or happiness depends on the integrity of people in a position of authority.
 
Course of history - is a process of self-organisation of society as a living and rational system influenced by subjective factor.
 
Course of social evolution is development due to objective laws. This is transition from hierarchical to heterarchical social structure or from simple “mind-made” hierarchy to sophisticated self-organised heterarchy; transition from autocracy to democracy and from democracy to netocracy.
 
Covert propaganda - information which originates from the government but is unattributed and made to appear as though it came from a third party. This is disseminating propaganda – i.e., pretending that someone is an "independent" expert when they're actually being "prodded" and even paid "behind the scenes" by the Government.  
 
Crony capitalism - is a pejorative term describing a capitalist economy in which success in business depends on an extremely close relationship between the businessman and the state institutions of politics and government, rather than by the espoused "equitable" concepts of the free market, open competition, and economic liberalism. It may be exhibited by favouritism in the distribution of legal permits, government grants, special tax breaks, and so forth.
 
Culture - is the knowledge passed from one generation to the next generation. It is content of social consciousness i.e. accumulated by society knowledge. The culture characterise one particular social group by contents of its social consciousness – religion believes, moral norms, myths, aesthetic views, positive knowledge, ideas, laws, philosophy etc.
 
Culture of fear - is a term that refers to a perceived prevalence of fear and anxiety in public discourse and relationships, and how this may affect the way people interact with one another as individuals and as democratic agents. Among those who share this perception there are a variety of different claims as to the sources and consequences of the trend they seek to describe.
 
Decision-making - is a process of making choice or judgement. Decision-making can be regarded as an outcome of mental processes (cognitive process) leading to the selection of a course of action among several alternatives. Every decision-making process produces a final choice. The output can be an action or an opinion.
 
Democracy - is the notion that "the people" should have control of the government ruling over them. This ideal is pursued by implementing a system of voting such that the majority of people rule, either directly as in Ancient Greece, or indirectly through elected representatives.  Democracy is a system of government by which political sovereignty is retained by the people and exercised directly by citizens. In modern times it has also been used to refer to a constitutional republic where the people have a voice through their elected representatives. It is derived from the Greek δημοκρατία, "popular government", which was coined from δήμος (dēmos), "people" and κράτος (kratos), "rule, strength". Democracy has been called the "last form of government" and has spread considerably across the globe. However Netocracy seems to be the nest level of evolution  of democracy.
 
Dialectical categories - refer to number of universal unity, contradictions and transitions as: Cause & Effect; Analysis & Synthesis; Form & Content; Space & Time; Motion & Information; Quantity, Quality & Measure; Negation & Continuity; Contradiction & Harmony; Part & Whole; Individual & Particular; Continuity & Discontinuity; Abstract & Concrete; Possibility & Reality; Essence & Appearance; Means & Ends; Chance & Necessity; Causality and Purpose, Positive & Negative; System & Method; Negation of the Negation; Unity of Opposites; etc.
 
Dialectical Logic - Contrary to formal logic, the law of dialectical logic is that everything is mediated therefore everything is itself and at the same time not itself. "A is non-A." A is negated. For Hegel, identity is the unity of different terms, and difference is the difference of united terms, namely, negation of negation. To claim for two different things are the same at one and the same moment is contradiction. The law of dialectical logic is contradiction, the opposites constitute a whole. The whole is not only different from its contradictory moments, but also more than them. In any act of change, there are three aspects universally bound to the very idea: first of all, there is something that changes (thesis), something into which it is to change (antithesis), and the way of transforming the former into the latter (synthesis). These are the basic logical change in dialectical logic including the elevation of matter over mind and a constantly changing reality with a material basis. Dialectical logic has three fundamental principles: integrity, negation and measure.
 
Dialectics - is the method of reasoning which aims to understand things concretely in all their movement, change and interconnection, with their opposite and contradictory sides in unity. Dialectics is also a science of the general and abstract laws of the evolution of nature, society, and thought. Dialectics can begin only if there is contradiction, motion is always in contradiction. Everything is the result of prime mover and everything is in motion. Unity is the first step of constituting system, for that reasons motion is the key to find the opposite of any concepts.
 
Economy is mode of production, exchange, distribution, and consumption of gods and services of a country or other area, respectively redistribution of wealth and effective management of the resources on national or international level (macroeconomic).
 
Elite - derives from French  élite (the "elect") is a relatively small dominant group within a larger society, which enjoys a privileged status which is upheld by individuals of lower social status within the structure of a group. The elite could be religious, class, educational, financial etc.
 
Empirical civilisation – First civilization, typical for Agrarian societies, where positive knowledge is generated and verified trough “trial and error”.
 
Empire - is a relationship, formal or informal, in which one state controls the effective political sovereignty of another political society. It can be achieved by force, by political collaboration, by economic, social, or cultural dependence. Imperialism is simply the process or policy of establishing or maintaining an empire.
 
Enlightenment - is a term used to describe a phase in Western philosophy and cultural life centred upon the eighteenth century, in which Reason was advocated as the primary source and basis of authority. Developing in Germany, France and Britain, the movement spread through much of Europe, including Russia and Scandinavia. At its core is a critical questioning of traditional institutions, customs, and morals. Some classifications of this period also include the late 17th century, which is typically known as the Age of Reason or Age of Rationalism.
 
Epistemism – “Post-capitalism” is knowledge-based economy typical for forthcoming Netocratic society.
 
Epistemology - (from  Greek επιστήμη - episteme, "knowledge" + λόγος, "logos") or theory of knowledge is a branch of philosophy concerned with the nature and scope of knowledge and how it relates to similar notions such as truth, belief, and justification. It also deals with the means of production and verification of knowledge.
 
Evolution – is a gradual process of development, formation, or growth, esp. one leading to a more advanced or complex form. In biology this is change in the genetic composition (inherited traits) from generation to generation. In society – transition from one social structure to another more sophisticated structure.
 
Fascism - is meagre between political power and national corporations. It is an authoritarian nationalist political ideology; political regime based on strong centralized government, suppressing through violence any criticism or opposition of the regime, and exalting nation, state, or religion above the individual. A system of strong autocracy or oligarchy usually to the extent of bending and breaking the law, race-baiting, and advocating and supporting violence against largely unarmed populations.
 
Feudalism socio-economic system related to Agrarian society. Term is derived from the Latin word feodum (fief), then in use, the term feudalism and the "system" it purports to describe were not conceived of as a formal political system by the people living in the Medieval Period.
 
Formal Logic - Logic is the taming of "savage mind", making the concepts well defined, univocal and constant in time. Every concept, using modern terminology, must represent only one set. This is in fact nothing more than the law of identity. Every concept, according to this rule, can only be defined by itself. If concept A is identical with concept B, than they both have all their elements in common. If A or B possesses at least one element that is not common, then they cannot be identical.
 
Framework is a basic conceptual structure used to solve or address complex issues.
 
Fundamental values – stricture-determinating social values:  slaves, land, money and knowledge. They are basses of politico-economic systems: slavery, feudalism, capitalism and forthcoming epistemism.
 
Fundamentalism - consistent, systemised and unshakable believes in something, which is not truth. Fundamentalism is ideological phenomenon. Could be religious or political. In religion, fundamentalism is viewed as a conservative stance because it seeks to preserve or return to a primary and principal relationship with the deity. Because of this, fundamentalists shun change, in many cases they attack change with labels such as heresy or blasphemy. In politic -- all social-economical models experimented during Industrial society are fundamentalistical by nature. The Communism and Fascism already failed. The New World Order follows same pattern of development, destruction of society and inevitable will collapse.  
 
Global Justice - the ideal of fairness extended to humanity as a whole.
 
Global Justice Movement – Movement promoting new thinking to benefit all economies and societies.   
 
Globalisation - is a natural process of integration of societies from thousands tribes to two hundred nations and in foreseeable future into one single organism, which is humanity. The process of going to a more interconnected world.
 
Globalism – is a process of making world economy dominated by capitalist models. A socio-economic system dedicated to free trade and free access to markets. Globalism is synonym of corporatism, a vision for future world as a global corporation.
Gold standard - is a monetary system in which a region's common mediums of exchange are paper notes that are normally freely convertible into pre-set, fixed quantities of gold. The gold standard is not currently used by any government, having been replaced completely by money declared by a government to be legal tender. The British government suspended the convertibility of Bank of England notes to gold in 1914 to fund military operations during World War I.
Governing elite  - decision-makers of all times who control the rest of population. Power elite evolves from individual to collective and in foreseeable future will be reorganised as collaborative. In case of collaborative decision-making process, decision-makers lost its power, because they don't control people anymore.
 
Groupthink is a type of thought exhibited by group members who try to minimize conflict and reach consensus without critically testing, analyzing, and evaluating ideas. Individual creativity, uniqueness, and independent thinking are lost in the pursuit of group cohesiveness, as are the advantages of reasonable balance in choice and thought that might normally be obtained by making decisions as a group.
 
Heterarchy - is social stricture organised by social evolution due to self-regulating mechanism of society. Heterarchy is qualitative leap from one stage to new completely different stage of social development. Transition from agrarian to industrial society is an example for such qualitative leap. Industrial society shifted out existed power elite and has established two clear heterarchical components - democracy and free-market economy. Heterarchy is antonym to hierarchy.
 
Heuristic - is the art and science of discovery and invention. The word comes from the same Greek root as "eureka". In psychology heuristics seen to be are simple, efficient rules of thumb, which have been proposed to explain how people make decisions, come to judgments and solve problems, typically when facing complex problems or incomplete information. These rules work well under most circumstances, but in certain cases lead to systematic cognitive biases.
 
Hierarchy – Social structure organised by people called power elite ands designed to work in favour for small group of society, which include the power elite and their relatives. Any hierarchy "monopolise and abuse" one particular aspect of social live. The first elaborated hierarchy is Catholic Church, which monopolise and abuse Christianity. The Communism monopolises and abuse political power. The Fascism monopolises and abuse industrial and military power on national level. New World Order intend to monopolises and abuse industrial and military power on global scale.
 
Humanitarian civilisation – is a forthcoming civilization, which will replace Technological civilization and will be based on knowledge, objective laws and morality.
 
Industrial society – Society based on Industry and technology. Started with Industrial revolution and continue to present days.
 
In the Box; Out of Box thinking – in common use are synonyms of rigid or creative thinking. The phrase refers to type of mindset.
 
Inverted totalitarianism - Unlike classical totalitarianism, Inverted totalitarianism does not revolve around a demagogue or charismatic leader. It finds its expression in the anonymity of the corporate state. It purports to cherish democracy, patriotism and the Constitution while cynically manipulating internal levers to subvert and thwart democratic institutions. Political candidates are elected in popular votes by citizens, but they must raise staggering amounts of corporate funds to compete. They are beholden to armies of corporate lobbyists who write the legislation. In classical totalitarian regimes, such as Nazi fascism or Soviet communism, economics was subordinate to politics. "Under inverted totalitarianism the reverse is true, - economics dominates politics-and with that domination comes different forms of ruthlessness.
 
Kleptocracy (Cleptocracy) - The term “kleptocracy” is derived from the Greek klepto+kratein = rule by thieves. It is a term applied to a government that extends the personal wealth and political power of government officials and the ruling class (collectively, kleptocrats) at the expense of the population. This is corrupt and dishonest government characterised by greed and hypocrisy. Kleptocrats typically use money laundering and/or anonymous banking to protect and conceal their illegal gains.
 
Knowledge is consciousness information and real engine of social evolution. Dominate value for netocratic society. "Justified true belief" (Plato).
 
Knowledge-based economy – (See Binary economics)
 
Laws of Dialectics - The three laws are: The law of the transformation of quantity into quality and vice versa; The law of the interpenetration of opposites; The law of the negation of the negation.
 
Land - a factor of production comprising all naturally occurring resources. Fundamental (core) value for Agrarian society.
 
Living systems – Level of organization related to living organisms and biological species. By definition, living systems are open, self-organizing systems that have the special characteristics of life and interact with their environment.
 
Media manipulation - The devious management of social opinion by medias in favour of small group of people. It is an aspect of public relations in which partisans create an image or argument that favours their particular interests. Such tactics may include the use of logical fallacies and propaganda techniques, and often involve the suppression of information or points of view by crowding them out, by inducing other people or groups of people to stop listening to certain arguments, or by simply diverting attention elsewhere. Many of the more modern mass media manipulation methods are types of destruction, on the assumption that the public has a limited attention span.
 
Mind - is synonymous with consciousness, but often used with a connotation of being a substance or extra-human entity. Mind collectively refers to the aspects of intellect and consciousness manifested as combinations of thought, perception, memory, emotion, will and imagination; mind is the stream of consciousness. It includes all of the brain's conscious processes. This denotation sometimes includes, in certain contexts, the working of the human unconscious or the conscious thoughts of animals. "Mind" is often used to refer especially to the thought processes of reason.
 
Mind control - is a broad range of psychological tactics able to subvert an individual's control of his own thinking, behaviour, emotions, or decisions. The concept is closely related to hypnosis, but differs in practical approach.
 
Mindset is a set of well established and powerful assumptions, methods or notations held by one or more people, which bias decision-making process activities and behaviours.
 
Monarchy - is a form of government in which an individual rules as head of state, often for life or until abdication, and "is wholly set apart from all other members of the state (called his subjects)." The person who heads a monarchy is called a monarch.
 
Money – is a dominant value for capitalist society and universal measure of value.
 
Moral – form of social consciousness, represented accepted norm of social behaviour.
 
Netocracy (1. in technological context) - is coined by technocrats. In this case it derives from “internet” and “aristocracy” and refers to a perceived global upper-class that bases its power on a technological advantage and networking skills.
 
Netocracy (2. in humanitarian context) - is the next level of development of democracy. This is newly emerging mode of collaborative decision-making mechanism, based on digital technologies and up-and-coming social networks. In this case the word “netocracy” derives from “net” (web of connections) and the ancient Greek kratos "rule" or "power” and is qualitative new stage of development of decision-making process. Netocracy is based on virtual global mind or global intellect, social consciousness and self-consciousness. Decisions are made in favour of society as a whole. Netocracy is self-ruling society without power elite.
 
New World Order - is a meagre between political power and multinational corporations. It is a view that powerful and secretive group is alleged to be plotting to eventually rule the world via an autonomous world government, which would replace sovereign states and other checks and balances in world power struggles. In this theory, many significant occurrences are said to be caused by a powerful secret group or groups. Historical and current events are seen as steps in an on-going plot to rule the world primarily through a combination of political finance, social engineering, mind control, and fear-based propaganda.
 
Oligarchy - is a form of government where political power effectively rests with a small elite segment of society (whether distinguished by wealth, family, military powers or spiritual hegemony). The word oligarchy is translated into "rule by few."
 
Overclass - is the most powerful group in a social hierarchy, which infer excessive and unjust privilege and exploitation of the rest of society.
 
Paradigm is a theoretical or philosophical framework; distinct concept.
 
Plutocracy - is a form of government where all the state's decisions are centralized in an affluent wealthy class of citizenry, and the degree of economic inequality is high while the level of social mobility is low.  The word "plutocracy" itself is derived from the ancient Greek root ploutos, meaning wealth and kratein, meaning to rule or to govern.
 
Political power - as the ability to impose one's will on others, even if those others resist in some way. It implies a capacity for force, i.e. violence, as well as coercion and influence.
 
Politics - is the process by which groups of people make collective decisions especially within civil governments. Politics consists of social relations involving authority or power and refers to the regulation of a political unit, and to the methods and tactics used to formulate and apply policy.
 
Power elite - is a small group of people who control a disproportionate amount of wealth, privilege, and access to decision-making process on national and international level. The power elite occupier top roles in society’s top institutions, comprising the military, political establishments, and the corporations. Therefore power elite is not simply as the owners of great wealth, or of the 'means of production'.
 
Power-elite model - is a sociological analysis of politics based on social-conflict theory that sees power as concentrated among the wealthy. The term "power elite", is used to represent members of the upper class, who, control the majority of a society's wealth, power, and prestige. Members of this power elite theoretically control all three major sectors of society: the economy, government, and the military. The power elite therefore includes top officials in state and federal governments, the "super rich", and top ranking officers in the military.
 
Propaganda - A concerted set of messages aimed at influencing the opinions or behaviour of large numbers of people. Propaganda in its most basic sense presents information in order to influence its audience. Propaganda often presents facts selectively (thus lying by omission) to encourage a particular synthesis, or gives loaded messages in order to produce an emotional rather than rational response to the information presented. The desired result is a change of the cognitive narrative of the subject in the target audience to further a political agenda. Propaganda is the deliberate, systematic attempt to shape perceptions, manipulate cognitions, and direct behaviour to achieve a response that furthers the desired intent of the propagandist.
 
Principle of measure - The fundamental principle of Dialectics that relates the internal complexity of every thing to its apparent motion via a series of negations says that every thing has its measure, a unique balance of its internal definiteness (quality) and possible external manifestations (quantity). The category of quality conveys the idea of a thing as it is, as that very thing, and not another. The philosophical category of quantity cannot be reduced to mere numerical value; it also includes any structural aspects, systemic behaviour, or other external manifestations of internal complexity.
 
Qualitative - descriptions or distinctions based on some quality rather than on some quantity.
 
Qualitative leap – in dialectics: is transition to qualitative new form of existence. This is how quantitative development becomes qualitative change.
 
 
Quantitative  - is a measurement based on some quantity or number rather than on some quality; measurements of any particular quantitative property are expressed as a specific quantity, referred to as a unit, multiplied by a number.
 
Rational system – system characterized by mind, reason or logic. Could be individual, human beings, social groups or humanity as a whole. By definition, rational systems are open and self-organizing.
 
Religion - is a set of beliefs and practices, often centred upon specific supernatural and moral claims about reality, the cosmos, and human nature, and often codified as prayer, ritual, or religious law. Religion is dominant form of social consciousness for Agrarian society.
 
Revolution - is a fundamental or qualitative change in power or organizational structures that takes place in a relatively short period of time. Revolutions have occurred throughout human history and vary widely in terms of methods, duration, and motivating ideology. Their results include major changes in culture, economy, and socio-political institutions.
 
Self-awareness is the explicit understanding that one exists. Furthermore, it includes the concept that one exists as an individual, separate from other people, with private thoughts. It may also include the understanding that other people are similarly self-aware.
 
Self-consciousness – (in psychology) is an acute sense of self-awareness. It is a preoccupation with oneself, as opposed to the philosophical state of self-awareness, which is the awareness that one exists as an individual being. An unpleasant feeling of self-consciousness may occur when we realize that we are being watched or observed, the feeling that "everyone is looking" at us. Some people are habitually more self-conscious than others. Feelings of self-consciousness are sometimes associated with shyness or paranoia. Self-consciousness is credited only with the development of identity (see the self). In an epistemological sense, self-consciousness is a personal understanding of the very core of one's own identity. It is during periods of self-consciousness that people come the closest to knowing themselves objectively.
 
Self-consciousness – or social self-consciousness (in social sciences) is self-awareness or self-perception of social group, society or humanity as a whole.
 
Separation of powers - is a term ascribed to French Enlightenment political philosopher Baron Charles de Montesquieu, is a model for the governance of democratic states. Under this model, the state is divided into branches or estates, each with separate and independent powers and areas of responsibility. The normal division of estates is into an executive, a legislature, and a judiciary. This is the separation of powers principle.
 
Social consciousness - Social consciousness evolves as part of social evolution. Agrarian society is dominated by religion, industrial – by politics. This is consciousness shared within a society. It can also be defined as social awareness; to be aware of the problems that different societies and communities face on a day-to-day basis; to be conscious of the difficulties and hardships of society.
 
Social creativity - Process of generation and verification of knowledge. Social creativity is truly engine of social evolution.
 
Social engineering - is a concept in political science that refers to efforts to influence popular attitudes and social behaviour on a large scale, whether by governments or private groups. In the political arena the counterpart of social engineering is political engineering.
 
Social evolution – is natural development of society throughout human history.
 
Social network - is a social structure of individuals called "nodes", which are connected by specific type of interdependency and collaborate in their activities. Very often they come from all over the world, communicating through digital network using special platform, collaborative and decision-making software.  Those people are self-selected according their abilities and expertise in cretin arias, and made decision in favour of society as a whole, not particular group. Final decision is a feasible model, which should be implemented accordingly. They could be called netocrats.
 
Social network service - building online communities of people who share interests and activities, or who are interested in exploring the interests and activities of others. They are immensely popular. (YouTube, MySpace, Facebook, Bebo Flickr, Yahoo meme, LinkedIn, Xing, Ning etc.).
 
Social self-consciousness – self-awareness of society. Perception of society as a single organism or entity. Social self-consciousness is newly emerged social phenomenon.
 
Socialism – is socio-economic and political concepts of state or collective with public ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods and services. Socialism supposes to be the first stage of communism.
 
Society – is a long-standing group of people occupying a particular territory and sharing cultural aspects such as language, dress, norms of behaviour and artistic forms. It a grouping of individuals characterized by patterns of relationships between these individuals that may have distinctive culture and institutions, or, more broadly, an economic, social and industrial infrastructure in which a varied multitude of people or peoples are a part. Members of a society may be from different ethnic groups.
 
“Split of personality” (analogue with term of psychopathology) is a situation where people say not what they think due to fear of prosecution. Any totalitarian or hierarchical social structure creates institutions to maintain security of the governing elite and keep system running, which eventually lead to “split of personality”. The “split of personality” is a turning point of social consciousness and symptom of approaching threshold of durability.
 
Technological civilisation – Present civilization, which verify generated knowledge trough formal natural sciences. 
 
Theocracy - is a form of government in which a religion or faith plays a dominant role. The term means “rule by God”
 
Threshold of durability – point reached by social consciousness where delusions caused by the propaganda machine and public manipulations subside and disintegrate. Reaching this point social system could collapse at any time. Whichever insignificant even could trigger avalanche of uncontrollable changes leading to inevitable replacement of existed social structure. The collapse of communism is such example.
 
Terrorism – 1) Systematic use of terror, manifestating itself in violence or intimidation for generating fear. 2) Technique used by governments to manipulate public opinion in order to further an agenda.  Terrorism evolves from causing terror to attain publicity to level of high profile targets aiming to destroy social system itself.
 
Transition - is the process of change from one form, state, stile or place to another.
 
Tribe - is a social group existing before the development of, or outside of, states. 
 
World domination - is an attempt of a single political authority to rules over all the inhabitants of planet Earth.
 
World government - is the concept of a political body that would make, interpret and enforce international law. Inherent to the concept of a world government is the idea that nations would be required to pool or surrender (depending on point of view) sovereignty over some areas. In effect, a world government would add another level of administration above the existing national governments or provide coordination over areas national governments are not capable of adequately addressing as independent polities. The authority granted this level and how it relates to national governments and/or citizens is debated by both adherents and opponents to world government.
