Executive GC:

       
          Total: GC 28 members from 17 countries.

They are presented o­n the personal pages of the GHA website “Peace from Harmony”: http://peacefromharmony.org

Two epistemological levels of the innovative scientific module / vector of the GC:

1. Theoretical or paradigm, consisting in social cybernetics (SC) of spheres and spherons: third order SC

2. Empirical or statistical, consisting in spheral statistics, which builds o­n traditional, nationally limited statistics, logically generalizing and streamlining it, making it universal, overcoming the shortcomings of national statistics and opening up fundamentally new prospects for its efficiency and technological digital application in the digital economy.

Both levels of innovative nonviolence research are necessary and sufficient for it. The absence or neglect of any of them deprives the understanding of nonviolence of fundamental scientific knowledge and leaves it at the level of intuition or hypothesis and even utopia, which many of its erroneous assessments of many of its surface and biased critics have today. Both levels provide a fundamentally new scientific understanding of nonviolence at the most fundamental, genetic level of its social being, providing the true scientific character of such a vision of nonviolence. Spheral sociocybernetic scientific approach is the greatest gnoseological and philosophical complexity, which required more than 40 years of scientific efforts, including 14 years of collective scientific research in the GHA for its disclosure in the first approximation.

Its Genome and Statistics”, which is prepared by the GHA for publication in two languages ​​in February-March 2019 and which can be used as the first scientific manual for the “Gandhi School of Non-Violence” and the “Interfaith Harmony Education Centers”.

Significance of spherons statistical researches

The statistical researches of spherons in almost 20 countries, with all their shortcomings and limitations of innovative pioneering works, convincingly prove with the system of empirical, statistical facts the real, objective existence of spheral classes of population (spherons) and the corresponding, still unknown societal genetic structure of humanity at all levels without exception. The statistics of spherons made spherons a scientific fact-based law, which is forced to reckon with it, despite all subjective, arbitrary, and tendentious approaches. The harmonious and peace-loving structure of spherons, which excludes violence by their nature, serves as the deepest social source of "the greatest force of non-violence of mankind", which Mahatma Gandhi understood well at the level of his brilliant intuition, about which he wrote and inspiring influence repeatedly. Therefore, Gandhi with good reason and right was included in the “founders of the Global Peace Science”, based o­n the scientific theoretical concept of spherons and its empirical, statistical confirmation.

This science and its key spherons theory are fundamental for the scientific understanding of Gandhi's non-violence. No other scientific insight into the non-violence of Gandhi is known to the world science. But the spheral, sociocybernetic understanding of the social source of Gandhi’s nonviolence has just been born, it is far from perfect and requires the creation of appropriate state scientific institutions, academies and laboratories in all countries, financed primarily from the state budget. The study of spherons and the development of global spheral statistics opens up unique, still unknown prospects for creating digital global technologies for all spheres, primarily for the economy. It will certainly pay back any expenses for their research, as the costs for the peaceful uses of atomic energy and for similar scientific research have paid for themselves many times. Based o­n the statistics of spherons, a number of economically promising start-ups are being proposed and developed, the technologies of which will make it possible in the near future to count and control/govern the Gandhi’s “greatest energy of non-violence”.
