"The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same

[disciplinary] level of thinking we were at when we created them

[... therefore] we should require a substantially new [... holistic, integral]

manner of thinking [... by the spheres and spherons] if mankind is to survive."

A. Einstein

Man always lives in spheres.

P. Sloterdijk

         (Therefore, spheres constitute the spheral, “substantially new manner of thinking,” the o­nly o­ne adequate to the integral, not torn apart by branches and disciplines, spheral social nature. The homo sapiens has not yet to rise this thinking level but came closest to it under the survival extreme objective necessity pressure in nuclear civilization and overcoming its all tearing apart confrontation.)

SP – social production

ENSS – Equally Necessary and Sufficient Spheres. Or: Equal Necessity and Sufficiency of Spheres

SSGH, SOCIONOME – social spheral genome of humanity

PIOT resources – People, Information, Organisation, Things

PDEC processes – Production, Distribution, Exchange, Consumption

SIOT structures/spheres – SOCIOSPHERE, INFOSPHERE, ORGSPHERE, TECHNOSPHERE

SIOT spherons - SOCIOSPHERON, INFOSPHERON, ORGSPHERON, TECHNOSPHERON

         The social nature existence integrity, as well as other natures, is subject to the universal planetary law of Equal Necessity and Sufficiency of Spheres (ENSS). But since all spheres of society are not of natural, but of rational, artificial origin from homo sapiens, then their spheral logic of the society o­ntology, existence acquires a rational, artificial, i.e. man-made human character.

         Based o­n many studies from the classics works of English political economy, starting since Adam Smith and David Ricardo, French sociology, starting since Charles Montesquieu and Auguste Comte up to the works of Nikolai Danilevsky, Maxim Kovalevsky, Vladimir Vernadsky, Max Weber, Mahatma Gandhi, Alexander Bogdanov, Karl Jaspers, Pitirim Sorokin, Nikolai Kondratyev, Ludwig von Bertalanffy, Talcott Parsons, Fernand Braudel, Alvin Toffler, Jürgen Habermas, Pierre Bourdieu, Peter Sloterdijk and many others*, directly or indirectly concerning the fundamental spheral foundations of human existence, it can be stated that they came close to differentiating the four social ENSS. It was their great historical mission as thinkers in the human thinking development.

         But within the disciplinary thinking framework, they were unable to rise to the level conscious spheral generalizations in the corresponding integral, transdisciplinary categories and concepts. In accordance with our synopsis format we have adopted, we will not delve into these studies history, their terminological diversity and argumentation that we have considered in many works.

         * Most of these and other works of the spheral thinking outstanding predecessors were analyzed in a number of our books, primarily in: “Sociology for Pragmatists” (1999). “Tetrasociology” (2002), “Tetrasociology” (2003), “The ABC of Harmony” (2012), “Global Peace Science” (2014, 2016, and 2017) and many other books and articles presented in the bibliography

         Our map of the sixteen ENSS of planetary society in Figures 1 and 5 (below) deepens and generalizes in spheres the humanity social life productive substrate capable to exist o­nly in a state of eternal peace through the spontaneous harmony of these constant, eternal spheres and no other way. They are classified into four necessary and sufficient groups of social spheres: RESOURCES, PROCESSES, STRUCTURES/SPHERES, and STATES/SPHERONS. Their minimally sufficient justification as historical facts/truths is below.

1. FACT-12. ENSS of the PIOT social resources

         The humanity perpetual peace state is inseparable from its o­nly way of eternal life in the eternal and continuous, never-stopping process of social production (SP) that was defined in paragraph-1. The identity of social life with production as a special, ‘sapiens’ form of biological "self-production, autopoiesis" was proven by Humberto Maturana, a Chilean biologist, and his colleagues. The biological, natural justification of the social life production substrate expands and deepens its scientific understanding, which classical political economy began to develop since the 18th century end. It continues and is extensively expanded in the updated socio-humanitarian disciplines up to our time.

         The reasonable and collective/social way of person/society autopoiesis ensures the creation of such spheres of vital artificial resources that he does not find in nature. As a result of a long and spontaneous social selection, four ENSS of artificial social resources are constituted: PEOPLE (population), INFORMATION (any knowledge of all forms and scales), ORGANIZATION (ordered communication, uniting resources to produce new o­nes), THINGS (material goods and services created by man). Abbreviated as PIOT. PIOT are eternal integral HOLONS of society/humanity.

         An infinite number of the PIOT historically transient types, parts, which in spheral science are called PARTONS, composes the PIOT eternal resource spheres of society. The continuous change of infinite partons is an immanent way of preserving their eternal, constant holons - spheres. Figuratively speaking, the holons/spheres are constant shores of the countless partons continuously changing flows in each sphere. If the flows disappear, their banks will disappear too. They cannot exist without each other.

         The PIOT resources are the most effective tools/methods to accumulate and save the necessary and sufficient sources of social life and energy of a person/society, without which they remain at the biological animal/flock level. Each new generation of people finds a certain quantity and quality of accumulated PIOT, previously created by past generations of people as an initial platform for their life, in order, in turn, to expand their composition with new types of resources and improve the quality of their previous types. The process of expanded autopoiesis of the PIOT resource spheres constitutes the eternal production substrate of the person/humanity entire life and history, constitutes eternal sociogenesis as a whole in the entire social space/time. In this sociogenesis process each of the PIOT resources spheres equally necessary with other resources and o­nly together with them constitutes a sufficient complex for it. In the absence or zeroing of any of these resources, the life of a person, any community and society as a whole is impossible that is proven by a thought experiment to every reasonable individual and society as a whole. Therefore, the PIOT spheral resources are the eternal historical fact of social nature, its reality. Awareness of this social resources ENSS reality is recognition of the HISTORICAL FACT of their eternity in spheral thinking.

2. FACT-13. ENSS of the PDEC social processes

          The PIOT artificial social resources are created o­nly by society, o­nly in a social nature and in no other. Adam Smith defined the main stages of the life cycle of material resources: PRODUCTION, DISTRIBUTION, EXCHANGE, and CONSUMPTION, abbreviated as PDEC. Then they were recognized as necessary and sufficient for all PIOT resources without exception and any doubts at anyone.

         Indeed, if artificial resources are not created by either physical or organic nature, then humanity is forced to constantly PRODUCE them independently. Since their production is concentrated in the most favorable locations for them o­n the planet and in each country, then the produced resources/partons must be DISTRIBUTED between them and their production cells. Since each of them is limited to the production of o­nly o­ne parton of resources or several of them, then there is a strict need for trade EXCHANGE of the created resources between them. In view of the fact that initially each parton of the PIOT resources is produced with the final purpose of its use (without which it becomes unnecessary, and its production is superfluous), then the final stage of the creation of any of the PIOT parton resources is its necessary CONSUMPTION.

          All stages, processes of creation of any of the PIOT parton resources are necessary and o­nly together sufficient in its life cycle. In the absence or zeroing of any of these PDEC processes, the existence of PIOT resources and the life of a person and society as a whole is impossible. This is proven by a thought experiment to every rational individual and society as a whole. Therefore, PDEC, like PIOT, is an eternal historical fact of social nature, its reality. Awareness of this PDEC social processes ENSS reality is recognition of the HISTORICAL FACT of their eternity in spheral thinking.

3. FACT-14. ENSS of the SIOT social structures

         Each of the PIOT resources has its own social nature, which is determined by its immanent laws, qualities and attributes, irreducible to each other. The qualitative specificity of each of the PIOT resources determines the unique feature of the life cycle of each of them and the unique feature of the tools, the PIOT resources and their PDEC processes, technologies necessary for it. These features, in turn, determine the qualitative, structural differentiation of their production eternal spheres. Four ENSS social resources of PIOT necessarily determine the corresponding ENSS social structures of their production. These are four structural spheres of SP, different in technology, as well as in their subject and product. These are:

1. SOCIOSPHERE, the subject and product of which are PEOPLE.

2. INFOSPHERE, the subject and product of which is INFORMATION.

3. ORGSPHERE, the subject and product of which is ORGANIZATION/ORDER.

4. TECHNOSPHERE, economy, the subject and product of which are THINGS (material goods and services) of society. They are abbreviated as SIOT-spheres of society. Their natural necessity and sufficiency is determined by the law of ENSS of PIOT.

           All structural spheres of SP, uniting the corresponding PIOT resources for their product, are necessary and sufficient for the life of an individual and society. In the absence or zeroing of any of these spheres of production, the life of a person and society is impossible. This is proven by a thought experiment to every rational individual and society as a whole. Therefore, the structural SIOT-spheres, as well as PIOT, which are produced in them, are an eternal historical fact of social nature, its reality. Awareness of these SIOT-spheres reality is recognition of the HISTORICAL FACT of their eternity in spheral thinking.

4. FACT-15. ENSS of the SIOT social actors/spherons

         All structural ENSS of SP with all their resources, processes and technologies are dead and lifeless without people employed in them. People are the o­nly resource of society, who are simultaneously permanent actors/creators of all social resources, giving them social energy, movement and social meaning by their employment in them. The сonstant groups of people/population, who are employed in four SIOT spheres of SP and differ in their employment in these spheres are called SPHERONS. Spherons cover the entire population from birth to death. They constitute its eternal, fundamental social structure of society at all levels of society, as eternal as its resources PIOT and the SIOT spheres of production that produce them.

         Four spherons are:

1. SOIOSPHERON, employed in the SOCIOSPHERE in the production of PEOPLE.

2. INFOSPHERON, employed in the INFOSPHERE in the production of INFORMATION.

3. ORGSFERON, employed in the ORGSPHERE in the production of ORGANIZATIONS.

4. TECHNOSPHERON, employed in the TECHNOSPHERE (economy) in the production of THINGS, all material goods and services of society. Together, in their dialectical system, they are designated as SIOT-spherons of society, determining the SP perpetual peace state with the dynamics of their harmony/disharmony, determined by their historically transient partons (classes, parties, elites, etc.). The natural necessity and sufficiency of the eternal SIOT spherons is determined by the ENSS of the society eternal PIOT resources.

         The SP spherons and spheres correspond to four ENSS of each individual: BODY, WILL, CONSCIOUSNESS AND CHARACTER. They constitute the individual psychological genome of each person, with corresponding individual needs, abilities and other features. They together determine social needs, abilities, relationships, productive forces, productive labor, the SP effectiveness, the status and roles of the individual in society etc. They are analyzed in detail at the level of hypotheses in our books "Tetrasociology" (2002, pp. 53-59), "The ABC of Harmony" (2012, pp. 43-47) and others, therefore they are not considered here.

          The identity of the eternal, spheral structure of social spherons and each individual as a social being determines many corresponding categories and concepts of spheral thinking. These primarily include the following: spheral employment, spheral labor, spheral work, spheral efficiency, spheral quality of life and labor, spheral needs and abilities, spheral productivity, spheral productive forces, spheral surplus value, the SP spheral organization, spheral social equality, spheral social structure and stratification, spheral fractals, spheral governance and management and many similar o­nes, some of which will be considered below.

         The ENSS law, defining equal social significance/necessity of the SP spheres with the same iron necessity determines SOCIAL EQUALITY OF SPHERONS, who are employed in these spheres, covering the humanity entire population. The spherons equality of is the main non-economic, social source for accelerated growth of the OP, society prosperity and perpetual peace in it that will be argued in more detail below.

         The SIOT spherons constant social structure at all the SP levels, determined by the ENSS law, excluding any real absence or zeroing of any of the spherons that is proven by a thought experiment to every rational individual and society as a whole, constitutes an eternal historical fact of social nature, its reality. Awareness of this SIOT spherons reality is recognition of the HISTORICAL FACT of their eternity in spheral thinking.

         ALL groups of the social ENSS define the eternal, spheral logic of the human/humanity social life/SP and its perpetual peace through their spontaneously generated HARMONY, o­nly the knowledge and use of which will allow humanity to ensure perpetual peace, excluding all wars, armed violence and peacefully emerge from an inexorably genocidal nuclear civilization today.

         There is no place for war and violence among the eternal and constant planetary spheres of social nature, to which the o­nly state of perpetual peace, first discovered by the genius of Immanuel Kant, is adequate. War and violence find their local, petty space o­nly among historically transient, narrow and limited, temporary partons with disciplinary, confrontational thinking: nations, states, classes, corporations, parties, elites and other historically temporary "trifle". But they, possessing power and control over all spheral resources, are extremely important, a priority in small segments of social time, measured by the small measure of the population generations in the composition of eternal spherons.

         Eternally warring in history the temporary partons, excluding perpetual peace, are content with its temporary surrogate - a truce, a break between their wars and preparation for their new wars. This was the case in the past and present century between three world wars, including the third o­ne that is flaring up today. O­nly Trump wants to stop it today and intends to do something peaceful for this, except for the disciplinary impotent rhetoric of pacifism, although he has no idea about perpetual peace, remaining completely in the power of the disciplinary thinking of American partons, including Democrats, Republicans and their corporate, partial elites.

         Their temporary and confrontational narrow interests and institutions, undermining the country from within, must give way to spheral, peaceful interests and institutions if America wants to survive and "make itself by PEACE great as never before." This is instead of the militaristic "again", when America simultaneously helped Hitler (secretly) and Stalin (openly), getting the maximum benefit from their war and becoming a world hegemon after the defeat of o­ne and the extreme weakening of the other. This, in the end, led America to collapse today, which all honest thinkers admit. Whether Trump will be able to understand this and implement a new, spheral agenda of perpetual peace for America and the planet will be shown by time, and by our ability to convey this agenda to him through our Primer.

         Four groups of the ENSS social nature constitute the four social space/time eternal coordinates of perpetual peace, presented in my book “Tetrasociology” cover, 2002, and in the figure of paragraph-2.

         The key categories of 16 social ENSS, reflecting the corresponding eternal historical facts, ensuring their fundamental verification constitute the systemic framework of spheral thinking. The considered spheres and corresponding categories, together with many concepts derived from them constitute the substance of spheral thinking, the social genome of human/humanity, the original cell of society at all levels and their single spheral logic in history. This substance is expressed by the structural model of the Peace Science as a cognitive map of its spheral knowledge and thinking in Figure 5.
