"BIOSPHERE - HYDROSPHERE - NOOSPHERE" AS A SINGLE HYPERCOMPLEX SYSTEM

Abstract

The article discusses the need to integrate natural science and modern humanitarian knowledge for understanding the biosphere, which is becoming extremely relevant in the era of digitalization. The biosphere and noosphere are considered against the background of the development of earth system sciences, concepts of growth limits, sustainable development, and earth system management. The significance and structure of the hydrosphere, some of its parameters and subsystems, the biospheric role of water, and the relationship and unity of the hydrosphere and biosphere are considered. Much attention is paid to the problems of defining the biosphere, in particular, by E. Suess, V. I. Vernadsky, P. Teilhard, and to the problems of interpreting the concept of "noosphere". The original views of V. I. Vernadsky formulated in his article "A Few Words about the Noosphere" are analyzed. Based on the geochemical criteria of the noosphere, the real subsystems of the noosphere are outlined (the urbosphere, the infosphere, the ideosphere, the cyberspace, etc.). The reality of the noospherization of modern human activities, including education, is shown. It is demonstrated by examples that the word "biosphere" is used in a variety of areas of human activity, such as in naming of experimental complexes, museums, protected natural areas, which are objects of the noosphere, and that this is a representation problem. Examples are given of how the application of the systems approach, the complexity paradigm of E. Morin, and the theory of hypercomplex systems allows to correctly and effectively demonstrate the interpenetration of the hydrosphere, biosphere, and noosphere.
