         Dear reader! You are holding the unusual primer in your hands. This is the survival primer for you, for each person, for whole humanity in its perpetual peace, whose life, including yours, is today threatened by the world nuclear war, prepared inevitably, o­n 100%, for almost 80 years of nuclear civilization, started since Hiroshima in 1945. This threat is a well-known scientific truth, which is repeated countless times in different ways. Therefore, the PSP authors focus not o­n it, but o­n the way of life and the source of survival - to the humanity perpetual peace, for the first time in history called into question by nuclear weapons of monstrous destructive power, capable to destroy all life o­n Earth. This is also a long-known and proven truth by scientists, which we accept as the established systemic fact, without discussing its endless details, so as not to lose the peace ‘forest’ behind its peace ‘trees’.

1. Perpetual peace: the way and source of the humanity perpetual life

         Peace is and can o­nly be perpetual, as the humanity life is perpetual. This is the o­nly true concept of peace. A truce, as I. Kant established, is a category of war, a break between wars and preparation for new wars. This is a false concept of peace or a concept of false peace, pseudo-peace. But in exceptional cases, a truce can become the first, half-step towards perpetual, true peace of certain warring nations, if they have matured its scientific understanding and their leaders have a political will to jointly search for a form of its consensus in a dialogue taking into account all opinions and a willingness to compromise for its sake. In the absence of its scientific understanding, it can be achieved spontaneously within the framework of other forms of its awareness, primarily religious o­nes, as the most general and stable.

         Therefore, spontaneously, peace is as perpetual as humanity itself. Everyone is born and lives in peace. Therefore, we see an infinite number of peace ‘trees’: peace (peaceful) humans, peace families, peace homes, peace schools, peace stores, peace transport, peace communities, peace cities and peace whole humanity as the whole "forest" of its perpetual peace. Of course, everyone knows that among the "trees" of peace there are, very rarely, hundredths of a percent, abnormal "trees" of war: warlike humans, families, communities, groups and countries for some short periods, which violate the perpetual norm of peace, without which they themselves cannot live. No o­ne will live with a warlike person, in a warlike family, in any community where people fight and kill each other, because in war, in the killing and death of people there can be no life, nothing that people need for life can happen.

         Therefore, perpetual peace is a natural way and social source of life for every person, any association of people, any groups, nations and humanity as a whole. It is so natural and obvious that it is not discussed by people as a natural cultural norm of society and necessary instinct of life, similar to its other instincts: breathing, digestion, movement, reproduction, self-preservation, etc. Peace is the first cultural norm of natural origin and the first natural right of social human and human society, without which their life does not exist. Therefore, over tens of thousands of years of humanity's existence, it has created a culture of perpetual peace in all forms of its life, being and consciousness, which was and is as necessary and natural for it as its life is necessary and natural for it. However, this culture remains spontaneous until the peace science birth within it, as a single and true knowledge of its perpetual structure, its perpetual actors, its perpetual social genetics and its perpetual social laws. o­nly similar planetary and macrosociological peace science makes the culture of perpetual peace systemic, cognitively ordered, verifiable, unified and acceptable for all peoples of humanity, overcoming all spontaneous conflicts and any spontaneous confrontation between them. Such peace science is offered and revealed in our PSP. Its integral, holistic image is presented in its engram, which occupies a central place in the banner/model of the peace culture below.

2. The Perpetual Peace Culture and its Systemic Core: Peace Science

         There was no need to prove and structurally substantiate the humanity culture of perpetual peace until a fundamental military threat to its life and survival arose with the invention and use of nuclear, genocidal weapons. In 1945, it destroyed almost the entire population of two small peaceful Japanese cities: Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Therefore, nuclear weapons received the scientific definition of "absolute evil", incompatible with the humanity life. This is also a well-known fact that does not require proof and discussion of details. It laid the foundation for a monstrous, genocidal for whole humanity and inevitably suicidal nuclear civilization.

         For almost 80 years of its existence in the unbridled race to improve its nuclear weapons monstrous, planetary power, its incompatibility with the life of each person and humanity became obvious. It completely denies its life. It completely nullifies the culture of perpetual peace as the o­nly way and source of life for human and humanity. The fundamental danger and threat of nuclear civilization for humanity was first understood and brilliantly expressed by J.F. Kennedy more than 60 years ago in the first nuclear, "Caribbean Crisis" in the following aphorism: "Mankind must put an end to war before war puts an end to mankind", meaning the nuclear, genocidal war of the nuclear, genocidal civilization. In the face of this universal mortal threat, it "suddenly" became clear that humanity, in its culture of perpetual, natural peace, lacks a single and common scientific understanding of peace for all peoples, lacks a fundamental and verifiable (confirmable), acceptable and necessary for all peoples PEACE SCIENCE as a system center and integration core of the perpetual peace culture. It turned out that the everyday understanding of peace as the "absence of war" is clearly insufficient to overcome the confrontation of nations in certain conflicts arising between them over certain disagreements.

          It became clear that the peace science is the first science necessary for the global, o­ne humanity life, not o­nly as an alternative to military science, which has been rapidly developing for more than two centuries in all countries in thousands of academies and institutes to the humanity destruction. It is necessary, first of all, as fundamental knowledge of the humanity entire social life organization in accordance with its o­nly way and source - in accordance with the HUMANITY PERPETUAL PEACE, in accordance with its perpetual structure, actors and laws, the o­nly natural o­nes, life-supporting for every society and nation without exception. The inseparability of culture and science of perpetual peace in our time of global, united humanity is expressed by their fused term through a slash: culture/science or science/culture.

3. Banner of the Perpetual Peace Science/Culture

         Our brief introduction to the peace science finds its generalization and visual expression in the integral banner/model of the perpetual peace science/culture. This banner outlines the boundaries and comprehensively presents in a visual form the subject, place and role of the peace science in the infinitely complex and diverse of the humanity perpetual peace culture over tens of thousands of years. The integrity of this subject will be consistently revealed in its fundamental structural parts, functions and laws in all paragraphs of the PSP proposed popular primer as a generally accessible introduction to this extremely complex macrosociological science, maximally capacious in an infinite number of details and data.

         The holistic presentation function of the perpetual peace science/culture is to not lose the "forest" picture behind the infinite multitude of its "trees" and to constantly be guided by it as "guiding star" and "from a bird's eye view" in its consistent cognition and disclosure from the whole to the parts. The banner below is a single structural "map of knowledge" of perpetual peace as a whole and its integral structural image for all the primer paragraphs.

         It is built in the extreme limits of existence, being of human as a species and humanity between their life and death, between their continuously developing social, artificial cultures o­n the basis of and in accordance with their natural and biological foundations. It has the following form in Figure 1.

Fig. 1. Banner of the perpetual peace science/culture

         The human/humanity life culture is its peace culture, as the o­nly way and source of its life. The human/humanity life is as perpetual as its peace is perpetual, as perpetual is its culture. The peace culture has been built since ancient times of humanity in all forms of its social existence, production and consciousness, starting with the primitive forms of their organization, with the beginnings of religious beliefs, morality, art, rites, rituals, skills, activities, etc. An infinite number of peace "trees" have grown o­n the peace culture field, different in form, but united in their peaceful, nonviolent essence in all the multitude of national and ethnic cultures in different historical epochs o­n different continents. Their best collective and generalizing image was the "Peace Banner" by Nicholas Roerich of 1931, proposed by him for the corresponding "Peace Pact" in 1935. It represents in a single circle of eternity the trinity of the past, present and future in the evolution of human, the planet and cosmos in the truths of religion, art and science. Their diversity in all dimensions and vectors is presented o­n the banner in its four drawings, corresponding to the number of its circles and the world religions number.

         The systemic center and integrative core of the peace culture is becoming the rational macrosociological peace science, the seeds and rational grains of which are scattered throughout the entire field of the perpetual peace world culture and are integrated in synergies, in mutual complementarity and enrichment in this transdisciplinary science. Its cumulative, synthetic image in the center of our banner was formed in the GGHA work over almost 20 years presented in 11 books, more than 100 peacemaking projects and almost 1500 publications in 1-12 languages.

         The culture of artificial death of human/humanity, which has become an inevitable reality in a nuclear civilization, is defined in a similar way. As a result, the cultures of life and death can be defined as follows.

         The life culture is all the means, resources, institutions, skills, habits, behavior, knowledge, theories, beliefs, convictions that contribute to the preservation, extension and improvement of the life quality of human and society within the framework of their perpetual peace.

         The death culture is all the means, resources, institutions, skills, habits, behavior, knowledge, theories, beliefs, convictions that contribute to the reduction or deterioration of the life quality, as well as the life loss o­n any scale within the death artificial forms framework, primarily war, especially nuclear, genocidal and ecocidal, capable of destroying humanity and all life o­n the planet.

         This is, in the briefest abris, our guiding model of the perpetual peace culture/science as their integral structural image. This is the "Introduction" meaning, detailed in all the PSP paragraphs. The specifics of thinking, the features of expression and the methods of mastering the extreme complexity of this culture/science are revealed in the next paragraph, in the "Preface" o­n the basis of its integral structural image. If the introduction answers the question "WHAT is the primer subject", then the preface answers the question "HOW is this subject revealed" in the primer paragraphs.

Russian proverbs, idioms and classics about peace. - Vera Popovich

To stand together for peace means there will be no war. If you want peace, be ready for war, to defend it. He who does not value peace is our enemy. A bad peace is better than a good fight. To live in peace is to live with peace. The cause of peace is strong through truth. He who sows peace reaps happiness. Peace is strong not through weapons, but through people of good will. Millions are for peace, millionaires are for war. Plants are drawn to the light, and nations are drawn to peace. Light conquers darkness, peace will conquer war. With peace there is space everywhere, with swearing there is crowding everywhere. Flowers need the sun, and people need peace…

Russian proverbs, idioms and classics about war. - Vera Popovich

War loves blood. • War and fire are not jokes. • Enmity does no good. It is not a bullet, but a man who kills a man with a gun. Peace is o­n the enemy's tongue, but war is in his heart. Clouds cannot hide the sun, war cannot defeat peace. Stand together for peace - there will be no war. Peace to the earth, war to war…
