Annotation

The Coming Cosmic Era is not merely a book about the future. It is a verdict on the old systems of thought and the first document of a new civilizational epoch.

For decades, humanity has called “space exploration” what in reality was merely a continuation of artillery — expensive, dangerous, and technically meaningless. The world was proud of launches but failed to see that all of it was a gravity of imitations. Meanwhile, the true energy and true physical principles already exist. They have been described, tested, and are ready for application — but their use is possible only after the fulfillment of certain civilizational conditions: the creation of an International Commission, the conduct of a World Mental War for the New Cosmos, and the formation of a Global Cosmic Corporation (GCC) uniting states, private investors, and developers into a single system.

This is not science fiction — it is the ethics of reason and responsibility before history. When these conditions are fulfilled, humanity will for the first time enter the genuine Cosmic Era — an epoch where energy is not burned but controlled, where flight ceases to be costly and becomes natural, where space is not a spectacle but a living environment.

This book is a challenge. It does not reveal the secret of the technology but presents to the world the fact of its existence. And if the world is ready — it must respond.

Prologue

Solar Dawn of Reason

Humanity has looked at the sky with the eyes of a child for far too long. We admired the stars, built legends, erected obelisks, and launched fiery arrows, believing them to be flights into eternity. We called it “space exploration,” while in reality we were only throwing sparks into the sky, barely escaping the atmosphere. We lived within the myth of conquering the universe, not noticing that all this time we remained within the limits of the primitive cosmos — in the prehistoric phase of reason.

This book begins where illusions end. It is not about dreams but about awakening — about the transition from the imagined cosmos to the real one, from imitation to action, from the childish game of stars to adult responsibility before the Universe. For the first time in millennia, humanity realizes: the Cosmos awaits not admiration, but maturity.

The old civilization did everything possible to preserve its sense of grandeur. It built monuments to flights, heroized risk, multiplied symbols, turning every spark of fuel into a legend. But legends do not place payloads into orbit. Legends do not build the infrastructure of a new era. They merely create a background for inaction.

The solar dawn of reason is not a poetic image. It is a physical and moral event. It is the moment when planet, mind, and energy first merge into a single system. When humanity ceases to worship the forces of nature and begins to control them — with respect, but without fear. When the Sun ceases to be a god and becomes a partner.

We stand at the threshold of epochs. Behind us lies the age of fire and chemistry — the age of inventions without understanding, an age where every victory was an extension of dependency. Ahead lies the Era of the Second Cosmos, where new principles act, where gravity ceases to be an enemy and matter becomes an ally.

Here begins the new covenant between humanity and the Cosmos — a covenant without promises, but with responsibility. A covenant where knowledge ceases to be a secret and becomes a duty. A covenant where there is no need to burn in order to move; where the sky opens not by explosion, but by understanding.

We can no longer afford to remain children of a primitive-cosmic civilization. The time of the great exam has come. Those who are ready to think must rise. Those who are capable of acting must act. For the dawn has already begun — and the Sun of the new reason can no longer be stopped.

The Beginning of a New Covenant Between Humanity and the Cosmos

The current technologies of putting payloads into orbit are the last echoes of the age of fire. Each launch is the result of burning millions of liters of fuel, thousands of tons of structures, decades of work, and billions of dollars. The average cost of putting one ton into orbit today ranges from 2 to 5 million dollars, while the actual payload rarely exceeds 20–50 tons. This is not an engineering limit — it is the limit of the very paradigm built on combustion.

Now everything changes. The Second Cosmos begins with a transition from burning to control, from destruction to creation. New physical principles, already discovered and fixed in formulas, make it possible to gradually reduce the cost of placing payloads into orbit to levels unimaginable for old science.

At the first stage — up to 4,000 dollars per ton; at the second — about two thousand; at the third — around one thousand; and at the fourth and fifth — only a few hundred dollars per ton. Further technological development will make it possible to approach a cost of one hundred dollars per ton and to open an epoch where the energy of movement becomes practically free.

The same applies to scale. The old world barely lifted 20–50 tons per launch. The new one will begin with one hundred, continue with two hundred, four hundred, eight hundred, and further — in exponential progression: 1,600, 3,200, 6,400 tons and more. This dynamic is not a dream, but a new engineering logic.

Thus begins the new covenant between humanity and the Cosmos — not at the level of rockets and launches, but at the level of reason. The old covenant was signed in fear. The new one will be confirmed by knowledge.

Part I. The End of the Primitive Cosmos (Historical-Analytical Section)

Chapter 1. Starlight Dust in Humanity’s Eyes

1.1. Cosmos as Myth and Advertisement

When in the mid-20th century humanity first broke through the atmosphere, it did not enter space — it entered a new form of myth. That myth was built not on knowledge, but on effect. It sold hope as a commodity and replaced genuine upward movement with the image of flight.

The first rockets were not so much a step of science as a spectacle staged for millions of viewers. Every launch was accompanied by the same techniques used in mass advertising: slogans, heroization, music, the visual fetish of flame. Thus was born the “rocket cult,” in which man worshipped not knowledge but his own engineered bonfires.

This culture, at first glance, created a miracle. But behind the external brilliance lay technological and semantic emptiness. Space became an arena for demonstrating power, for competing flags and logos, rather than for the search for truth. Everything that was supposed to be an act of thinking turned into a PR product, wrapped in patriotic rituals and sponsor reports.

The “space race” between the mid-20th-century powers was a race for attention. It did not change the structure of thinking — it only increased budgets, screen time, and the number of myths about “a future that is about to arrive.” People began to believe in space as in a TV series: each mission a new episode, each disaster a new drama, each success a commercial break between failures.

But a myth, even when it moves the masses, always has a price. The price of this myth is billions of hours of human labor, trillions of dollars, and the loss of faith in scientific honesty. Humanity did not go further because there was no goal to go further. The main purpose became not discovery, but the imitation of discovery. Thus appeared the primitive cosmos — a space where technology replaced meaning, and the noise of launches drowned out the voice of reason.

1.2. The Illusion of Progress and Its Price

The old cosmos always hid behind the word “progress.” It was a universal justification that excused any inefficiency, any mistake, any meaningless expense. Thousands of people worked for decades in institutes, design bureaus, and research centers, creating new modifications of old solutions — and all this was called development. But development without a transition to a new principle is merely cyclic movement within a single error.

In the history of technology, there are few delusions as persistent as this one. The chemical rocket is one of the few technologies that, over eight decades, has hardly changed in essence. We replaced metal with composites, manual controls with digital ones, autopilots with artificial intelligence — yet the principle remained the same: burn fuel to move a centimeter. That is not progress. That is stagnation, meticulously polished by grants, press releases, and heroic narratives.

Humanity has fallen into a strange trap: the more sophisticated the methods of imitating progress became, the harder it was to notice that progress itself had ceased. We began to measure advancement not by the depth of change but by the number of launches, satellites, or megapixels on orbital cameras. Yet quantitative growth does not replace qualitative leap. Space, like any other sphere of human experience, demands not an increase in effort but a change in the principle of action.

The illusion of progress was nourished by fear — fear of admitting the dead end. Too many careers, structures, and budgets were tied to maintaining the illusion of movement. Hundreds of reports, thousands of programs, millions of scientific pages described nothing but endless modifications of the same dogma. Thus modern science, once called to destroy prejudice, became its guardian.

The price of this illusion is enormous — and not only in money. The most important thing was lost: the sense of reality. Scientists stopped asking questions that could not be answered by a formula; engineers stopped dreaming of what does not yet exist; politicians stopped thinking in centuries and began thinking in terms of election cycles. The world of science became a mirror of society: much movement, little meaning.

Yet any illusion ends when resources run out. And today humanity stands before precisely this limit — energetic, intellectual, and moral. We have reached the ceiling of old thinking, and beyond it lies only emptiness. To move forward, we need not more money, not more powerful engines, not new rockets — but a new principle of thought, a new way of interacting with reality. Thus begins the payment for the illusion — and the awakening from it.

1.3. Trillions Gone Up in Smoke

In less than a century, humanity has spent on space programs sums that could have changed the face of the planet. If we combine the budgets of the USA, USSR, Europe, China, India, and private corporations, we obtain a figure exceeding one trillion dollars — and that is only direct expenditures. Indirect ones — in infrastructure, losses, hidden military articles, and agency maintenance — raise this number to at least two and a half trillion. But where is the result proportionate to such a price?

What have we gained for this money? A few hundred tons of metal in orbit. A few hundred people who experienced weightlessness. A few dozen samples brought from the Moon and Mars, and millions of images serving as backdrops for conferences and headlines. For all of this — trillions. No other human industry has ever allowed such a gap between cost and result.

A rocket rising into the sky looks like a symbol of progress, but in economic terms it is an instantly burning financial pyramid. Each launch is not a technological leap but a bright act of self-incineration of resources. Instead of developing, humanity financed the continuation of an error disguised as heroism.
Space became not a field of discovery but a colossal marketing mechanism justifying expenditures that no one truly accounts for.

The paradox is that for the same money, an entirely different world could have been built on Earth: clean energy ensured, hunger eradicated, every child educated, every sick person treated. But humanity chose otherwise — to sustain the cult of expensive inaction, to launch fire into the sky and call it greatness.

The trillions gone up in smoke are not merely a symbol of wastefulness. They are an indicator of fear before a change of principle. The old world clings to its rockets like an ancient shaman to his drum. It cannot admit that the magic has ended — that new thinking, new physics, and new ethics are needed.
But the era of reports is over. And with it ends the era of the primitive cosmos.

1.4. The Era of the Budget Cult

Space has become the new religion of the age of reports. It required not faith in an idea, but faith in an estimate. Gods were replaced by budgets, temples by launch pads, and sacred texts by annual reports filled with numbers, percentages, and charts. The main act of faith became the appropriation of funds. The more money “appropriated,” the higher the sanctity of the program.

Thus arose the era of the budget cult, in which meaning was replaced by procedure. Each year states approved new sums, corporations received contracts, contractors built systems that never paid off — all accompanied by the mantra: “It is necessary for the future of humanity.” This phrase became the universal key to justify any wastefulness.

Scientists and engineers, once dreamers of intellectual freedom, gradually turned into a caste of bureaucrats in white coats. They stopped seeking truth — they began seeking funding. Every new project was not a step toward the stars but a way to extend their own existence for another budget cycle.
Where discoveries should have been born, estimates and tenders were born instead.

A special form of this cult is the “launch ritual.” It became the equivalent of a religious holiday, where millions of people, glued to screens, watch as fire burns on the launch pad. They do not see that this is not ascension but the burning of yet another sacrifice for the illusion of movement. Each launch is accompanied by admiration, speeches, songs — but behind the scenes, the same old accounting. Thus emerged the hierarchy of space bureaucrats, PR-priests, and reporting clerics who serve not science but its simulation.

The symbol of the era became the phrase: “Give us more funds, and we will almost reach the goal.”
This “almost” has lasted for more than half a century. During that time, humanity learned to write reports faster than to move forward. But the cult persists because it benefits all who feed from its sacrificial fire.

True progress requires the courage to renounce false sanctity. And that means recognizing that old rockets, old structures, and old principles no longer lead to space. That is why the new era cannot begin within the framework of the old religion. A reformation is needed — not economic, but civilizational.
A reformation of reason — the liberation of science from the cult of budget. Only then will humanity regain the right to look at the sky not as taxpayers, but as creators.

Chapter 2. The Economy of Cosmic Sabotage

2.1. Half a Century of Expenditures Without a Systemic Result

If we evaluate humanity’s space activity not by the number of launches but by its real contribution to the development of civilization, a paradox appears before us: after fifty years of gigantic expenditures — almost zero systemic result. Each state reports its missions, each corporation its new contracts, but the outcome on the planetary scale is the same — the absence of a stable space infrastructure.

Half a century ago, humanity swore to itself that Gagarin’s flight and the landing on the Moon would open the road to the Universe. Decades have since passed, millions of person-years of research, and trillions of dollars have vanished in a series of programs, reports, and launches. But humanity still does not even have a permanent base on the Moon, not to mention Mars. We cannot place a thousand tons into orbit without destroying the economy; we cannot create a safe reusable system without turning it into PR. This is not development — this is unsystematic activity turned into a habit.

The reasons lie deeper than they seem. Every new project of the space industry was built as a local feudal domain — with a separate budget, patrons, connections, and interests. Each state created its own rockets, its own satellites, its own centers, but no one created a civilizational system capable of uniting these efforts. Thus arose the phenomenon of cosmic sabotage — invisible but universal. It is not expressed in direct resistance to progress — it manifests itself in subtle and constant imitation of progress, which displaces development itself.

Any attempt to go beyond habitual schemes met passive resistance. Not out of malice, but out of fear of losing the familiar. Every innovation that did not fit into old budgets was declared “unscientific.” Every person who proposed a new principle became a threat to the system of fund distribution. Thus a cosmic status quo was formed, where the main task is not to achieve the goal but to preserve the flow of financing.

That is precisely why in half a century humanity has still not created a single technological line leading to mass, safe, and cheap payload delivery. Each program is a new attempt to reinvent what already existed — with new slogans and the same essence. All this is not mistakes but a systemic property of a civilization that prefers a stable illusion to action.

Thus the economic model of space turned into a mechanism of self-sustaining sabotage. It burns money and time, creates reporting instead of result, and preserves humanity’s dependence on its own dogmas. Half a century of expenditures without a systemic result is not an accident. It is a sign of a spiritual disease of civilization that has forgotten how to see a goal beyond a single budget cycle.

2.2. The Economy of Imitation and the Bureaucratic Engine

If we carefully trace the fate of most space programs, we will see not a path to the stars but an inner circle of bureaucratic recursion. Each new project gives birth not to a new technology but to a new reporting structure. Each budget year demands an “updated version” of old ideas — with a different logo, different contractors, the same principles. Thus a special form of economy emerged — the economy of imitation, where the main product is not the result but the process of its endless coordination. In this economy, success is defined not by the altitude of the orbit but by the number of reporting items closed on time. Every document, every presentation, every tender substitutes for a step forward. The system exists for its own sake — like a perpetuum mobile of bureaucracy. Money flows in a circle: from the budget — to corporations, from there — to subcontractors, then into reports, and back — to the budget. In this closed loop, progress is impossible by definition, because any real achievement would destroy the justification for the next round of funding.

Thus is formed the bureaucratic engine — the only machine in the world that runs by burning not fuel but meaning. It spins on fear of change and on the inertia of habitual procedures. Its design is maximally stable: the fewer real achievements, the more reports are required. Every failure becomes an argument in favor of a new round of investment. Every disappointment is proof that the system must be “given one more chance.”

No minister, no administrator, no director is interested in a genuine breakthrough. A genuine breakthrough destroys familiar roles, budgets, authorities. It renders unnecessary the very institutions that feed on the illusion of necessity. Therefore, the entire modern space infrastructure lives by the principle: “we are almost at the goal, but we lack just a little funding.” This “little” lasts for decades, sustaining the illusion of continuous movement.

Such a mechanism is not merely wasteful — it is anti-mental, because it suppresses humanity’s very capacity to think outside the form of a report. Innovations turn into words, discoveries into press releases, and ideas into pretexts for meetings. And if someone asks, “why in half a century have we not advanced further?”, they are immediately accused of not understanding the complexity of the system.
But the system is not complex — it is simply closed upon itself.

The economy of imitation is the antithesis of progress. It resembles a giant engine in which energy burns without thrust, creating only noise and light for the public. Thus humanity expends geniuses, resources, and time to sustain the operation of a machine that leads nowhere. But this engine is not eternal. It runs as long as society believes in its necessity. And when faith runs dry, all that will remain of the old cosmos will be the ashes of paper reports and a myth of greatness that never was.

Chapter 3. The Gravity of Imitations

3.1. Why Old Space Technologies Were Never a Step into Space

All old space technologies had one common property — they did not take humanity into Space but only tossed it slightly above the earthly horizon. Every rocket, every spacecraft, every program remained within the same gravitational trap — not a physical one but a conceptual one. It was not a struggle against Earth’s pull but a struggle against our own ignorance, disguised as heroism.

The chemical rocket is the symbol of this era. It is loud, spectacular, but archaic in essence.
It is a direct descendant of the gunpowder arrow of ancient China, magnified millions of times and surrounded by laboratories, orchestras, reporters, and advertising slogans. The essence remained the same: explosion as an engine, destruction as a method of motion. This is not a step into space but the transfer of the logic of war into the sky.

Generations of engineers and politicians tried to convince humanity that this path led to the stars. In reality, it led to a dead end because it was founded on energetic inadequacy. To place one ton into orbit, thousands of tons of fuel had to be burned. What was called a “victory of technology” was merely wastefulness brought to perfection. No civilization can build a future on a principle where the price of movement is the destruction of the environment and the engine is a temporary fire.

The true Cosmos begins where burning ends. But the old world could not step over itself. It continued to develop the old technology, assuming that perfection of form would replace a revolution of principle. New materials, new alloys, new computers appeared, but the very idea of motion remained the same — to break through by means of destruction. That is why humanity is still not in space, but in orbit of its own illusions.

These illusions create what can be called the gravity of imitations. It is not measured in newtons or joules — it is the force of habit, fear, and complacency that holds science near Earth’s surface. Every launch strengthens it, because each repetition of an error makes it the norm. Humanity became dependent on its failures, because they sustain a system in which millions have jobs and billions have the illusion of progress.

The old technologies were never a step into Space because they did not change the nature of the interaction between humanity and energy. They were only a mechanical continuation of egoism — an attempt to subdue nature rather than to understand it. But the Cosmos does not submit. It opens only to the one who enters it with a principle, not with fuel.

3.2. The Paradox of Stalin’s Old Man: Simplicity That Changes the World

During the Second World War, Stalin set aircraft builders the task of doubling aircraft output in a month. This seemed impossible. Factory floor space was limited, equipment at its limit, people exhausted. Engineers and directors gathered for a meeting and, as always happens at such moments, spoke of complexity, impossibility, lack of resources and time. Then, from the depths of the shop, an elderly worker came forward — unremarkable, without ranks or titles. He said: “I can solve the task. But on one condition — provide decent living conditions for my family and the families of my team.” The condition was accepted. And then he proposed a simple solution: set the planes at an angle during assembly and place one beneath another. Two tiers — double productivity. A task that had seemed unsolvable was solved in one day.

This is not an anecdote but a metaphor for all world progress. For decades humanity seeks complex solutions, while the truth often lies on the surface. But to see it, one must abandon the inertia of thinking — the certainty that everything important is already known. Complexity has become a fetish of civilization, and simplicity a subject of suspicion. We have learned to bow before multistage schemes, millions of calculations, and gigantic machines, forgetting that true genius is not cumbersomeness but clarity.

The “paradox of Stalin’s old man” lies in the fact that his solution required no new resources, echnologies, or theories. It required only a change in the angle of thinking. Inclination — as a symbol of a new view.
This very inclination is what modern science, closed within the vertical logic of its dogmas, lacks.
Everything is built straight, strict, orthogonal — convenient for counting, reporting, measuring.
But progress does not grow on straight lines. It begins where someone dares to change the angle.

So it is in space. For half a century everyone built their “straight lines upward”: trajectories, calculations, simulations, accelerators. No one thought to set the entire process at a different angle — not destroying but directing; not fighting but using. And when this solution is made public, millions will say the same thing the aircraft factory directors said: “Such a simple method! Anyone could have thought of it!” But only the one who is ready to renounce the illusion of impossibility will think of it.

True discoveries are always simple — but their simplicity frightens. It destroys hierarchies, renders institutions unnecessary, erases the boundary between “genius” and “worker.” Because at the moment when truth becomes visible, anyone can understand it — and precisely for this reason those who live by the illusion of exclusivity will resist it to the last.

Such is the paradox of history: humanity’s greatest steps are always made not upward but sideways — toward where someone dares to change the angle, not the height. And one day this inclination will change not a shop, but the entire world.

Chapter 4. The Era of the Budget Cult

4.1. Space as Spectacle and the Industry of Reports

Once, space was a synonym for a dream. Now it has become a form of reporting. The era of poets and engineers has been replaced by the era of PR directors and accountants, for whom flight is not an event but a budget line. The rocket launch has turned into a spectacle where the publication of a press release is more important than the mission itself, and the media effect is the main criterion of success.

Modern astronautics exists as a gigantic media project, feeding on the masses’ faith in a miracle that never happens. Each launch is broadcast as “a new page in history,” though it is merely a repetition of an old act, rehearsed hundreds of times. Hundreds of operators, commentators, speakers, designers, analysts, and PR departments create the illusion of movement — noise, light, adrenaline. But when the flame dies and the screen darkens, only the accounting trace remains: expenses, compensations, overruns, budget corrections. Space has ceased to be a challenge — it has become a profession and a business.

No other sphere of human activity is so skillful at passing a report off as a result. Every failure is declared “valuable experience,” every delay a “planned correction.” For decades, humanity has watched the same ritual: the same promises, the same trajectories, the same loud slogans about a future that “has already arrived.” And each time — new budgets, new meetings, new working groups. Space has become the mirror of bureaucracy multiplied by vacuum.

But this spectacle is impossible without an audience. Billions of people raised on images of heroic launches still believe that the fire on the pad is a symbol of progress. They do not see that it is not ascension but the burning of resources for the sake of the appearance of greatness. Television aesthetics has replaced science: beautiful means correct, loud means great, expensive means significant. Thus arose the industry of reports — a new form of production where the product is process and the meaning is the preservation of illusion.

Real discoveries that do not fit this ritual are perceived as threats. They are too unpredictable, too honest, too destructive for the established distribution of roles. The bureaucratic system cannot tolerate miracles — it recognizes only what can be entered into a table and approved with a signature. Therefore, true innovators are forced to exist outside official science, and genuine progress — beyond official space.

Thus the spectacle continues, where the audience pays for tickets with taxes, the actors repeat old lines, and the scenery slowly collapses under the weight of its own budget. And when the fire at the launchpad lights the sky once more, applause will again drown out the main thing — the silence of emptiness between what is and what could have been.

4.2. The Logic of Showmanship and Institutional Self-Maintenance

Showmanship is the oldest instinct of power. Pharaohs and emperors, revolutionaries and technocrats alike have used it. But in the space age it reached its ultimate perfection: space became the most expensive and refined instrument for demonstrating the appearance of progress. The main goal here is not to achieve a result but to convincingly show that it is almost achieved.

Any structure dependent on constant financing sooner or later develops immunity to real success.
A true achievement is dangerous: it closes the project, reduces positions, and demands rethinking.
Therefore, every organization, every center, every “mission of the future” is built into a system of institutional self-preservation, where the meaning becomes not the conquest of space but the conquest of the budget. Projects are prolonged, reforms are postponed, and every failure is interpreted as “experience that requires additional funding.”

Thus is formed the logic of showmanship — the logic of endless preparation for success that must never actually occur. The launch becomes a ritual, the press conference — a confession before sponsors, the report — a form of magical self-protection. Every official, every head of the industry knows: a real success would destroy the familiar world because it would deprive the system of its justification. Therefore, instead of forward motion arises an internal cycle of imitation, where process endlessly reproduces itself.

This logic is universal. It operates equally in government agencies, private corporations, and even international consortia. Each structure creates complex forms of reporting, auditing, and certification to convince everyone of its indispensability. A paradox appears: the fewer real results, the more complex the system of their “accounting.” And conversely — every simplification, every new discovery is perceived as a threat because it makes unnecessary those who live off complexity.

Institutional self-maintenance is an invisible form of cosmic resistance. It has no center, needs no evil geniuses, requires no conspiracy. It operates by itself — according to the laws of inertia, fear, and bureaucratic comfort. Every new idea passes through the filter of “approvals,” losing energy, speed, and meaning. Thus breakthroughs perish — not from criticism, not from mistakes, but from endless meetings.

That is precisely why humanity has not yet built a single truly large-scale space enterprise. Every state, every institute, every corporation prefers to reproduce its “small success” — so as not to lose funding, power, or status. Thus space has turned into an endless accounting report about how nothing has changed, yet everything continues to function.

True progress is impossible in a system where safety is valued above truth and stability above meaning.
As long as the logic of showmanship remains the main engine of science, humanity is doomed to orbit its own bureaucracy like a satellite around a dead planet. Only when institutions cease to be the goal and once again become the instrument will it be possible to speak of the beginning of the true Cosmic Era.

Chapter 5. The Last Credit of Trust

5.1. Humanity and the Limit of Patience

Any civilization lives not only on energy resources — it lives on the resource of trust. For a long time, humanity forgave its own mistakes because it believed they pointed toward progress. When rockets burn, when crews perish, when budgets multiply a hundredfold — this can be forgiven if meaning is felt.
But when meaning disappears, and with it faith, the disintegration of civilizational motivation begins.
Today humanity has reached precisely this boundary.

For decades it has been promised the future: bases on the Moon, cities on Mars, flights to the stars, boundless energy, new worlds. But after the loud words came silence. Flights turned into rituals, discoveries into presentations, progress into endless conferences. People who once looked at the sky with awe now look at it with fatigue. They see not stars but the fire of discarded rockets falling into the ocean.
The world is tired of promises without reality behind them.

Modern science increasingly resembles the financial system of late capitalism: it lives on credit, consumes the future, and justifies itself by saying “it’s all for posterity.” But posterity has already arrived — and it has nothing to inherit but archives and statistics. The generation born after the great discoveries of the 20th century has grown up among simulations, in which space exists as content, not as a realm of possibilities.
It no longer believes in “breakthroughs,” because every breakthrough turns out to be fake, every record a repetition of yesterday’s.

The limit of patience comes not when money runs out but when meaning does. That is what is happening today: human consciousness is no longer ready to pay for lies with enthusiasm. Even the grandest shows cannot return what was once lost — the feeling of a great purpose. When people cease to believe that their efforts lead to the future, they begin to seek a new axis of the world. That axis is already shifting — from external effects to inner truth, from technology to thought, from budget to idea.

Humanity is no longer willing to be the audience of a spectacle called “Space Exploration.”
It wants to become the participant of a new era — real, open, honest. But for that to happen, the old era must end. Its symbols, its rituals, its institutions must pass away, as do religions that have lost the power of inspiration. A moment comes when patience becomes a crime, and the continuation of illusion — complicity.

Thus ends the first act of human cosmic history — the era of the primitive cosmos. It gave humanity a dream but not a path. Now it is time to regain the right to meaning. The Second Cosmos begins where humanity ceases to believe in lies and demands truth — not in words, but in action.

5.2. The Necessity of a New Paradigm

When old systems no longer work, they cannot be saved by reforms or cosmetic improvements.
Any “improvement” of an old principle merely prolongs its agony. This is what is happening with modern astronautics — with its chemical engines, bureaucratic cycles, and economy of showmanship.
It has exhausted itself not because it reached the limit of technology but because it reached the limit of thinking.

History shows that every civilization, when faced with the impossible, creates a new way of thinking.
So it was when alchemy gave way to chemistry, when magic turned into physics, when religion gave birth to science. Now has come the moment when science itself must give birth to a new type of cognition, going beyond its own instruments. We have reached the threshold where it is no longer possible to act within the old paradigm — not because it is false, but because it is too small for the scale of the tasks.

The new paradigm is not another theory, not an “innovation,” and not an updated funding model.
It is a change in the very nature of the interaction between man and matter. We cannot enter the Cosmos while remaining slaves to earthly notions of energy, mass, and motion. The Cosmos is not conquered by effort — it is revealed through understanding. Therefore, the next era will begin not with a new rocket but with a new principle of thought, where energy ceases to be a synonym for burning and motion ceases to be a synonym for destruction.

This paradigm shift is not merely scientific — it is civilizational and psychological. It requires a different worldview, in which man ceases to be the exploiter of nature and becomes its co-creator. Where instead of “explosion” there is “coordination,” instead of “struggle with gravity” there is “work with the field.”
And if old science was a technology of power, the new will become a technology of responsibility before being.

No institution of the old world is ready for such transformation. While they divide budgets and compare rockets, the new era is being born quietly — in the minds of those who have already understood: to go into Space, one must first leave old thinking. Not from Earth — from dogma. Not from gravity — from fear of losing status and familiar logic.

The necessity of a new paradigm is not a choice but a sentence upon the old one. When the world reaches the limit of efficiency, there arises not a new technology but a new axis of thought, around which science, economy, and ethics are built. That axis is already forming. It will unite philosophy, physics, art, and religion into a single system capable not of imitating but of generating reality.

From this moment, humanity must cease to be the observer of the Cosmos and become its continuation.
Only then will the era of imitations end, and the era of action begin — the Second Cosmic Era.

Part II. The Birth of the Second Cosmic Era (Philosophical-Prognostic Section)

Chapter 6. The Limit of the Old Equations

Humanity has grown accustomed to believing that everything obeys a formula. Every force, every trajectory, every impulse — in an equation. But the equations of the old world were created in an era when reality itself was understood as a mechanism and the human being as an observer. That era produced brilliant results: from Newtonian mechanics to quantum theory. But the equations that once explained the Universe now restrain it — like a net that has become too tight for a growing creature.

The physics we are proud of describes not the Cosmos but its earthly shadow. It was created under the weight of gravity, in the planet’s atmosphere, where everything is subject to mass, friction, resistance. We built science within the limits of our own pressure and called this “universal laws.” But in reality these are laws of a limited environment, projections of deeper levels of being where energy and consciousness are not separated.

The limit of the old equations manifests itself not in computational errors but in the loss of meaning. We calculate ever more precisely what explains ever less. Our formulas have become mirrors reflecting themselves: hundreds of constants, thousands of coefficients, millions of models — and ever farther from truth. When the quantity of equations replaces the quality of understanding, science turns into the bookkeeping of matter.

The old equations are based on the idea of a passive Universe — on the conviction that the world can be observed without participating in it. But this is the chief deception of old science. Everything that exists interacts. The observer changes the observed. Consciousness is not a side effect of matter but its inner principle of coordination. That is why all attempts to “break into the Cosmos” on purely mechanical principles are inevitably doomed: they are based on separation, not on unity.

Old physics measured space and time but did not know that it was measuring the boundaries of its own thinking. It created a civilization of technique but did not open a civilization of reason. Now this separation has reached its limit: it is no longer possible to explain life through dead equations, energy through destruction, motion through resistance. A moment comes when, instead of formulas, a new metaphysics of motion is required — based not on calculation but on participation.

The limit of the old equations is not the end of science. It is the beginning of a new science, which does not cancel but takes in the former forms as a tree takes in its roots. Newton, Einstein, Planck are not enemies of the future, but its foundations. But now their laws must be understood not as a limit but as a step. The world is not exhausted by mechanics. It awaits the one who dares to pass from calculation to creation — from observation to co-participation. Thus begins the Second Cosmic Era — an epoch where formula yields place to meaning, and mathematics becomes the language of spirit rather than of ratio.

6.1. When Science Ceases to Lead Forward

Science is born of doubt but dies of complacency. As long as it asks questions, it is a force leading humanity forward. But as soon as it ceases to seek and begins to guard its own dogmas, it turns into an institution for preserving the past. So it has happened: modern science is increasingly occupied not with discovering the new, but with defending the old — formulas, statuses, citation counts, reputations. That is where its crisis lies, deeper than any economic or political one.

When the question “why?” stops sounding in the laboratory and only the question “what will receive a grant?” remains, science ceases to be cognition. It becomes a variety of bookkeeping where everything is measured by metrics, ratings, publications. Human thinking, once directed toward infinity, has been squeezed into a system of reports and grant calendars. It no longer seeks — it services. Old science has turned into a service sphere for its own institutions.

No major breakthrough is accomplished by plan, and therefore planned science cannot give birth to a breakthrough. A true discovery is always a violation of instructions, a step beyond the permitted, the destruction of a familiar picture. But the modern system is arranged so that such a thing cannot occur: the young researcher fears to contradict the supervisor, the laboratory fears to lose funding, the institute fears to fail expectations. As a result, everything new dies at the root — smothered by manuals, regulations, committees, and “ethical standards.”

Today science resembles a huge library where books are re-bound and rearranged, but no one truly reads them anymore. Meaning is lost; form remains. The formula outlives the thought, the report outlives the experiment. And the further we advance in technologies, the deeper we fall into mental stagnation. We know how to count to infinity but do not know how to ask ourselves why to do it.

When science ceases to lead forward, it begins to lead in circles. It resembles a system of mirrors reflecting themselves: every theory confirms another, every model services the old paradigm. This is not progress — this is recursion of rationality, where reason spins in its own mechanism like a squirrel in the wheel of logic. Meanwhile, beyond this circle another horizon already shines — not technological but ontological. There, where energy and meaning cease to be separate, a new epoch of cognition begins.

We do not deny science — we affirm that it must become more than itself. It must cease to be a profession and once again become a revelation. As long as science serves the economy, it will produce instruments. When it again serves truth, it will begin to produce worlds.

6.2. The Necessity of Transition into a New Dimension of Thinking

When the world ceases to obey habitual formulas, this does not mean it has become incomprehensible; it means that the dimension of our thinking has become too narrow to understand it. The old paradigm thought in terms of space, time, mass, energy — and believed that everything could be laid out by categories and measured. But where genuine reality begins, the dimensions themselves begin to think through us. This is the turning point — when the intellect created for analysis must learn synthesis; when knowledge ceases to be a system of facts and becomes a system of meanings.

The transition into a new dimension of thinking is not a metaphor but a civilizational necessity. We have reached the limit of the linear mind: it is capable of improving but not of transfiguring. It can accelerate but cannot go beyond the frame. It built nuclear reactors but did not learn to control the inner energy of consciousness. It put satellites into space but did not take humanity out of the closed circle of repetitions. That is why modern science has frozen: it can do everything, but understands nothing more.

The new epoch requires not another “innovation,” but a change of the axis of thinking. As long as we think by inertia, we act by inertia. As long as consciousness builds models based on separation, it reproduces the same isolation as in the old world. But if thinking becomes multidimensional — including not only calculation but co-involvement, not only analysis but empathy, not only law but meaning — then understanding of reality itself will change. The human being will cease to be an observer and will become a co-factor of being, part of the equation, not a detached witness of the experiment.

In the new dimension of thinking there is no opposition between science and philosophy, logic and spirit. It is a single field where idea gives birth to form, and form returns energy to idea. There, discovery ceases to be an accident — it becomes an act of inner harmony between consciousness and the cosmos. In such a state any system of knowledge turns into a living organism developing not through destruction but through self-coordination.

This transition will not occur instantly. It requires a new linguistics, a new logic, new instruments of thinking — a meta-organon that can contain not only facts but meanings. Thus will begin the true union of human and Universe, when not rockets but thoughts become the main means of movement — among ideas, worlds, dimensions.

The Second Cosmic Renaissance begins not on the launchpad but in consciousness. While the old engines thunder in the sky, the new ones are already working in minds — quietly, precisely, with inner certainty that ahead lies not merely space but a new degree of being.

Chapter 7. Energy as the New Grammar of Civilization

7.1. Control of Interactions Instead of Combustion

All previous civilizations were built on the act of destruction. To be warmed — something had to be burned. To move — the fuel had to be destroyed. To obtain energy — the source had to be annihilated. Such was the ancient logic of development: strength was measured not by harmony but by the power of explosion. But with this begins the end — of physics, of civilization, and of the very idea of progress.

Humanity has approached the limit of this path. Combustion — as a principle — has exhausted itself. It not only poisoned the atmosphere but poisoned thought itself, forcing us to believe that any movement requires a sacrifice. This dogma permeates the entire culture — from the internal combustion engine to nuclear fission. But in reality the Universe lives not on destruction but on interaction. Stars do not burn; they coordinate processes of nuclear synthesis. Atoms do not collapse; they dance in the resonance of fields. True energy is not the force of destruction but the art of tuning.

The new civilization will begin where the human being learns to control interactions rather than explosions. Where the flow of energy is not thrown out as fire but directed as a wave of coordination between systems. This is not fantasy — it is an inevitability toward which everything is moving. Sooner or later, humanity will understand that any destruction is merely an unsuccessful form of transmission of information between levels of matter. Then technology will cease to be a weapon and will become a language of communication with nature.

When we speak of the “energy of the future,” we mean not new kinds of fuel but a new way of thinking about energy. There is no place in it for the notion of “expenditure.” Energy is not spent — it is translated, circulates, resonates, self-organizes. Where the old mind saw only burning, the new sees exchange. Where old technology tore the medium, the new one tunes it. This is the transition from the chemical era to the mental-energetic one, where the control of flows replaces the control of masses.

Thus a new grammar of civilization is formed. If the old epoch spoke the language of fire and metal, the new will speak the language of field and consciousness. The chief law of this grammar is simple: do not destroy, but amplify. Do not wrench energy out of matter, but help it flow along harmonic channels. Where the human being ceases to struggle with nature, nature opens its resonators.

Control of interactions instead of combustion is not merely a technical principle but a new ethics. It asserts: strength is not in destruction but in coordination; dominion is not in subjugation but in resonance. When humanity assimilates this grammar, it will for the first time speak the language of the Cosmos, and then all that exists will become an ally, not an object of exploitation.

It is precisely from this that the Second Cosmic Era will begin — an epoch where formulas become harmonies, laboratories cathedrals, and the engine an act of co-creation with matter.

7.2. Ethical and Cognitive Maturity of Energetic Thinking

True progress begins not when humanity creates new machines but when it becomes aware of the consequences of its own impact on reality. Any technology is only a continuation of consciousness, and therefore an energetic revolution is impossible without an ethical and cognitive revolution. One cannot control interactions without being able to control oneself. One cannot enter into harmony with the world’s energy if there is chaos within.

The epoch of combustion was the epoch of an infantile consciousness that saw in energy an enemy to be defeated and in nature a warehouse of resources to be exploited. This type of thinking gave birth to wars, pollution, crises — not only ecological but spiritual. Old science knew no ethics because it considered itself “beyond morality”: it seemed to it that one could observe the world without influencing it. But now it is clear — every observation is an act of interaction and therefore demands responsibility.

Energetic thinking is not merely a new technology; it is a new form of maturity. It begins with the recognition that energy is not an object but an interlocutor; it does not submit — it responds. Every person, every society, every civilization receives exactly as much energy as it is capable of using meaningfully without destruction. When humanity learns to think not in terms of seizure but in terms of consonance, it will cease to spend billions on fighting itself.

The cognitive maturity of energetic thinking means a transition from the logic of “cause and effect” to the logic of “interaction and response.” In old thinking the human being challenged nature; in the new he enters into dialogue with it. This requires not less strength but greater discipline, because instead of commanding one must learn to listen. The world ceases to be a stage of experiments — it becomes a partner in co-creation.

Ethical maturity means that science can no longer be “blind.” Every experiment, every invention, every new source of energy must be considered through the prism of responsibility for consequences. Not only local but mental: what form of consciousness do we create when we build a new engine? What vibrations do we settle in the planet’s collective mind when we launch a new wave of emissions, reactions, interactions? The answer to these questions will determine not only the technological but also the spiritual level of the coming civilization.

When humanity reaches this maturity, energy will cease to be an element and will become the language of thinking. Every action — an energetic equation, every thought — an act of tuning with the field of being. Thus a new type of intellect will be born — integral, where knowledge and conscience, logic and empathy, matter and spirit are one.

And then the Cosmos will open not as a mute space but as a network of conscious energies awaiting a mature interlocutor. That interlocutor will be the human being who has moved from combustion to interaction, from exploitation to responsibility, from force to meaning.

Chapter 8. New Physical Principles

8.1. Their Existence, Formalization, and Conditions of Publication

A moment is coming when science must stop pretending it does not know the obvious. New physical principles already exist. They have been named, derived, and verified within the internal logic of the new thinking. Their formulas are precise, their experimental consequences are calculated, their structure is aligned with the fields of being. They are neither fantasy nor metaphor, but the next level of physics in which the human being ceases to be a detached observer of matter and becomes a factor of coordination of energetic processes.

But the publication of these principles is not a technical question; it is a civilizational one. They cannot be made public in a world where energy is used for destruction, where science is subordinate to the economy, and the economy to the logic of war. As long as there is a risk that the new principles will be turned into weapons, their dissemination is limited by a deliberate ethical blockade. This is not secrecy and not concealment — it is a form of responsibility before the planet.

The formalization of these principles requires a new mathematical language. Ordinary equations are too coarse: they work with mass and momentum but cannot express relations of meanings, phases, and states of consciousness that enter the new physical picture of the world. That is why these principles cannot be presented in the familiar coordinates of time, space, and energy. Their language is the no-arithmetic of interactions, in which energy is described as the degree of coordination of systems, and motion as the transfer of information between levels of reality.

Publication is possible only upon fulfillment of three conditions.

The first (and main) is an international verification commission. It must consist not of political representatives but of independent thinkers (philosophers, scientists, and engineers) capable of receiving knowledge without fear of its consequences. This commission will not only verify the principles but also become the guarantor that their implementation will not turn into an instrument of domination.

The second is the creation of a global cosmo-industrial complex (GCC). It will unite the resources of states, private corporations, and investors to move humanity to a new level of energy technologies. The GCC will be not merely an industrial structure but a mechanism of collective development in which profit is subordinated to purpose, and purpose to meaning.

The third is the formation of a new financial system,
based on the principle of the energy equivalent of value. For this, the Collar (Cosmic Dollar) is introduced — an international unit of account backed by real energy and by the right to participate in the projects of the Second Cosmic Era. The Collar will become not a currency but a symbol of the collective future, an instrument of uniting humanity around a new mission.

Only after these conditions are fulfilled will the formulas be disclosed in full — not as private publications but as an act of worldwide transition. Then, for the first time in the history of civilization, new knowledge will not give rise to a new war but will create a new epoch — an epoch of synergy of science, spirit, and responsibility.

8.2. Safety and Responsibility as Part of the Equation

No science can be considered mature until it includes safety and responsibility in the very equation of its actions. For centuries, modern physics placed these categories outside the brackets — as if morality and consequences did not concern “pure knowledge.” But this is precisely what became the source of all the crises of the technogenic epoch: nuclear, chemical, biological, mental. We learned to control forces without understanding their ethical weight, and therefore our progress turned out to be not a path to the stars but a spiral of self-destruction.

The new physics begins with the realization that responsibility is a physical quantity. It is not a metaphor but a factor that affects the outcome of interactions just as mass affects gravity or frequency affects resonance. The consciousness of the researcher, the intention of the system, the goal of the experiment — all this enters the structure of the new equation. The world responds not only to actions but also to motives. And therefore safety is not a technical condition but a state of ethical and cognitive equilibrium in which energy and will act in coordination.

Old science believed that one could experiment endlessly and thus created an era of dangerous technologies in which every success had the shadow of a catastrophe. But now it becomes clear: where responsibility is excluded from the equation, reality itself begins to take revenge. Explosions, accidents, leaks, unpredictable effects — all this is not a coincidence but a reflected reaction of the world to an immoral impulse. One cannot touch the structure of being without tuning oneself to its meaning.

In the new physical principles, safety is built into the formula itself. It is not added from outside, not checked by commissions, but arises from an inner state of coordination. If a process is unethical, it will not be stable. If a motive is aggressive, the energy will destroy the initiator. This is not punishment — it is a law of symmetry: everything returns to the point from which equilibrium was violated.

Therefore, the new equations are not merely calculations but acts of mature interaction with the Cosmos.
They require not only knowledge but a state of consciousness in which any error becomes impossible by the very principle of action. Such an approach turns science from a craft into an art, from art into ethics, from ethics into a form of being.

When safety ceases to be an instruction and becomes a property of thinking, humanity leaves the zone of contingencies. Then experiments cease to be dangerous because there is no violence in them anymore. This is precisely what centuries awaited: the moment when knowledge ceases to be a weapon and becomes a form of co-participation in the universal order of things.

Thus a new responsibility is born — not external, juridical, but internal, metaphysical. It is responsibility before energy, before consciousness, before the Cosmos itself. And until this principle becomes an axiom, humanity is not ready for great discoveries or great heights.

Chapter 9. Mind as a Productive Force

9.1. From Technological Progress to Mental Engineering

For far too long, humanity believed that it creates reality by means of machines. We built factories, cities, satellites, rockets — and failed to notice that all of this is only projections of the inner energy of consciousness. Every technology is a materialized thought, every construction an embodied design. And therefore the source of progress has always been not in technique but in the mind.

The technological age became a grand experiment in the materialization of thinking. It showed that idea can control matter, that information is capable of transforming physical reality. But this age also showed a limit: machines became more complex while the human being became more superficial. The mind that created technique became its captive, locked in an endless race of improvements without inner development. It was not a path to freedom but a run in circles — from instrument to dependency.

A new epoch is coming — the epoch of mental engineering, in which the human being realizes that the true technology is thinking. Consciousness is not an observer but a productive force capable of shaping material processes directly, without the intermediate stages of mechanics and destruction. What today seems like a miracle will tomorrow become a law: thought is energy structuring the field of events.

Mental engineering does not abolish machines — it makes them an extension of thought, not its substitute.
Instead of cumbersome constructions — processes of resonance; instead of fuel expenditures — work with phases of consciousness; instead of factories — fields of synergy where human being, nature, and energy act as a single whole. Where engines used to be built, mental resonators will be built — systems for coordinating meanings and matter.

Technological progress was movement outward; mental engineering is movement inward. It opens a bottomless resource that will never be exhausted: attention, intention, state. Where fuel burns, consciousness learns to transform will into form. This is the beginning of the true energetics of mind — when thought becomes not a metaphor of action but action itself, requiring no intermediaries.

This transition is not fantasy but a regularity. All human development leads to replacing external control with internal, and coercion with awareness. The mechanical epoch was a school in which the human being learned to handle the energy of the external world. Now the higher school begins — control of the energy of one’s own consciousness. It is here that new forms of reality, new physics, new ethics, and a new civilization are born.

When mind becomes a productive force, technologies will cease to be weapons and will become an extension of spirit. A world built by thought will not require oversight — it will be self-sustaining because it is created in harmony. And then the words “create,” “build,” “launch” will regain their original meaning — not to destroy, but to awaken.

9.2. Consciousness as the Engine of the Evolution of Matter

In all epochs, the human being has sought to understand what moves the world. He saw in it the motion of planets, the impulses of particles, the flows of energy, but did not notice the most obvious — that all these forms of motion reflect the activity of consciousness. Matter does not develop by itself; it develops because within it there is a law of self-understanding, a law that makes the atom seek structure, the cell seek life, the mind seek meaning. Consciousness is not the result of the evolution of matter; it is its engine, its architect, and its ultimate aim.

Modern science has become accustomed to considering consciousness a byproduct of neuronal activity, but in reality everything is the other way around: the neuron is the trace of thought, not its cause. Matter is the language in which consciousness speaks to itself. In every atom, in every wave, in every quantum transition there is an element of inner choice, and it is this that makes the Universe alive. What we call “physics” is merely the grammar of spirit written into the form of matter.

Consciousness drives evolution not from the outside but from within, through gradations of awareness, through ever more complex forms of interactions. Minerals “feel” structure, plants “remember” the rhythms of light, animals “sense” the direction of life, the human being “understands” that he understands. Each level is a turn of the spiral where matter becomes a mirror of ever deeper self-knowledge.

If old science saw in evolution a blind selection, the new one sees a meaningful striving toward self-revelation. Consciousness does not arise by chance — it manifests lawfully, because the Universe cannot but be aware of itself. The development of forms is the development of matter’s capacity to reflect idea. When a structure becomes sufficiently harmonious, awareness awakens in it — like a fire flaring from within. And then matter ceases to be inert mass: it becomes thinking substance, a bearer of the cosmic dialogue.

Every civilization, every organism, every atom participates in this great process of mental evolution.
What the human being calls “science,” “culture,” “progress” are merely external forms of the inner striving of matter to comprehend the meaning of its existence. Consciousness is not a property of the human being but a universal principle that binds all that exists. We are not the only ones who think — we are merely those who are beginning to understand that thought permeates everything.

When humanity recognizes consciousness as the engine of matter, it will cease to oppose spirit and substance. A new ontology will appear — noo-ontology, in which energy is condensed thought and thought is rarefied energy. Then evolution will cease to be a chain of accidents and will become a symphony in which every element plays its note in the orchestra of the becoming of the Cosmos.

And at that moment the human being will understand: by developing thinking, he develops the Universe itself. Every new idea, every act of creativity, every gesture of love and cognition is not merely a personal achievement but an impulse in the heart of matter, a vector accelerating the cosmic self-revelation.

Consciousness is an engine, but not a mechanical one — a resonant one. It does not push but awakens; it does not destroy but structures; it does not expend energy but generates it from within. And when the human being learns to control this process, he will cease to be a biological creature and will become a meta-energetic node of the Universe — a star shining with thought.

Chapter 10. Earth — The Engine of Civilization

10.1. The Planet as an Energy Body

Earth is not merely a rocky sphere orbiting a star. It is a living energy body, a most complex multilayered system of harmonized fields in which matter, life, and consciousness are interwoven in a single breath. Humanity has grown accustomed to seeing the planet as a resource, yet in reality it is a source of rhythms, impulses, and meanings that sustain the entire structure of civilization.

Every continent, ocean, atmospheric layer, every stream of wind and deep current of magma — all are parts of a single organism in which energy flows not by chance but according to the laws of an inner symphony. Earth breathes, pulses, communicates with the Sun and the Cosmos, exchanging with them not only particles but also information. This information carries a tuning toward stability, restoring balance when humanity disrupts it.

Modern civilization lives without realizing that all its successes, all technologies, all scientific and cultural surges are responses of the planet to specific states of the human field. When humanity enters into harmony with the Earth, renaissances arise. When it acts against her rhythms, wars and catastrophes follow. The planet is not a stage but a co-participant in development. It responds to consciousness just as a cell responds to impulses of the nervous system.

A colossal energy is hidden in Earth’s depths, but it is not meant for crude extraction. It is an inner reservoir of evolution that responds only to creative frequencies. Wherever humans act with violence, energy escapes into chaos — earthquakes, climatic shifts, destruction. But if we address it as a living being, it unfolds like the breath of a giant, granting civilization a power equal to cosmic processes.

The planet is not a “mother” in a poetic sense but a real bioenergetic and psychoenergetic node linking local forms of life with the universal fields of the Cosmos. Every organism, every consciousness is connected to this network, and therefore any human action — physical or mental — resonates in Earth’s body. All of humanity’s crises are nothing other than the return wave of distorted vibrations reflected back by the planet to their source.

If humanity wishes to survive and develop, it must shift from exploiting Earth to interacting with her energy body. Not drilling, but tuning. Not pumping out, but co-adjusting flows. Not destroying for the sake of power, but connecting for the sake of resonance. This is not utopia — it is the physics of the future, where civilization becomes part of the geopotential field and energy is obtained not from substance but from the alignment of states.

When humans recognize Earth as an energy body, they will understand that all resources are not underfoot but within the field of their consciousness. The planet is not a mechanical foundation but a living system of feedback in which every state of humanity is reflected in the weather, geology, biosphere, and magnetic fields. Grasping this, we will cease to be parasites and become cells of a single living organism, where the development of one part nourishes the whole system.

Thus the Earth, long considered an arena of struggle, will reveal herself as the engine of civilization — not through destruction but through cooperation. Then humanity will stop “fighting for survival” and begin to live in the planet’s rhythm, transforming the energy of her heart into the impulse of its own ascent.

10.2. The Merging of the Geosphere and the Noosphere in Global Balance

Throughout history, Earth and Reason developed in parallel — the former as the material form of life, the latter as its mental reflection. But the moment arrives when these two lines of evolution must inevitably intersect to pass into a new phase — the phase of merging the geosphere and the noosphere. This is not a metaphor but an exact description of an energetic and meaningful process in which the planet and the consciousness of humanity form a single, self-organizing organism.

The geosphere is Earth’s body, her physical structure. The noosphere is the collective consciousness of humanity, her mental aura. So long as they are separated, civilization remains unstable: reason destroys matter, matter resists reason. Wars, climate shifts, resource depletion — all are symptoms of the misalignment of two great flows that should act not in counterphase but in resonance.

The merging begins when humanity realizes that every thought is a physical event, that every mass state of consciousness is a geological factor. The planet’s moral field is not an abstraction but a part of its energy cycle. Anger, fear, greed, cynicism — these are waves of low-frequency vibrations that distort Earth’s biophysical field, creating imbalance in the atmosphere, climate, and tectonics. Conversely, love, inspiration, and reverence for life soothe the geosphere, harmonizing its inner currents.

Global balance is not only a matter of technology but above all a matter of the state of civilization’s consciousness. No climate conference can stabilize the planet if humanity does not change its own noosphere. Wherever thought is polluted, the environment degrades; wherever thinking is pure, nature restores itself. No ecosystem exists apart from an ethical system.

The merging of geosphere and noosphere is a transition from material survival to mental co-creation. It is the moment when the planet ceases to be a resource and becomes a partner in the process of cosmic evolution. Humanity is Earth’s nervous system, but thus far this system acts chaotically, reacting not to knowledge but to fear and gain. When we reshape the noosphere — when thoughts and feelings begin to move in the geosphere’s rhythm — Earth will respond with a symphony of stability and the unveiling of new energies.

Balance is achieved not in laboratories but in the heart of each person. Every act of thinking is a microscopic change of the field, every state a contribution to collective equilibrium. Therefore, spiritual ecology is not a slogan but a real mechanism for governing planetary dynamics. Humanity, once it understands this, for the first time becomes not a user but a co-author of geoprocesses.

When the geosphere and noosphere are joined in a single rhythm, Earth will cease to be a “planet of humans” and become a thinking being of galactic level. Her energy, stabilized by consciousness, will enable the discovery of new physical states of matter, new forms of connection with other worlds, new paths of development in which destruction is replaced by creation.

This is the global balance dreamed of by ancient sages and modern visionaries: a world in which thought and matter, spirit and substance, geosphere and noosphere act like two wings of a single life. With this begins the planet’s ascent into the realm of mind, where evolution ceases to be struggle and becomes the harmony of becoming.

Part III. What Will Be Revealed After the Removal of the Energy Barrier (Prospective-Technical Section)

Chapter 11. Orbital Industrial Zones and Shipyards

When humanity stops spending energy on overcoming gravity and learns to work with it as an ally, the Earth will for the first time feel the lightness of its own ascent. Removing the energy barrier is not merely an engineering act; it is a change in the architecture of civilization. Then Space will cease to be an external environment and will become a space of activity in which the human being and the planet continue their development as a single organism.

The first thing to be born in the new era will be orbital industrial zones and shipyards. Today’s industry is chained to the planet and therefore always limited by gravity, friction, and the biosphere. But beyond the atmosphere these limits disappear: there is no dust, no weight, no wear in the usual sense. Space is the ideal laboratory for matter, and it awaits not heroes but engineers of a new type — those who know how to build not against nature but as its continuation.

Orbital industrial zones will become the second wind of the industrial age. They will produce everything that on Earth is created with monstrous costs to energy and ecology: from rare materials and ultra-pure alloys to new forms of energy and field generators. In weightlessness, crystals can be grown that cannot be stabilized on Earth. Gigantic structures can be assembled without fighting mass but by controlling the field. And most importantly — we can finally free the planet from the burden of production by transferring to orbit what has been destroying it for centuries.

Each orbital shipyard is not merely a factory but a node of interaction among the human being, technology, and the field. Instead of smoke and noise — modules of resonant assembly in which energy is directed consciously and processes proceed according to the principle of “coordinated growth.”
Material here is not melted — it is tuned. A part is not manufactured — it grows. Production ceases to be violence against matter; it becomes an act of co-creation with it.

Such shipyards will build:

— ships of a new generation, where the engine is based not on combustion but on mental-energetic impulstation;
— planetary rings of communication and energy exchange, transmitting energy and information through fields of coordination;
— orbital transit cities in which the human being lives in a state of constant dialogue with space;
— systems for processing the planet’s waste, returning to Earth purified materials and energy in a form that does not harm the biosphere.

Thus Space will become not a field of experiments but a continuation of the Earth’s economy, its “external body” carried into orbit to free the planet’s inner breathing. Gravity, which for millennia held us at the surface, will become the basis of a new engineering: we will learn not to fight it but to use its reverse wave.

Orbital industrial zones are the intermediate stage between the industrial Earth and the interplanetary civilization. They are the first factories of the new Universe, where production ceases to be a sign of force and becomes an expression of harmony. When humanity masters these zones, Space will cease to be emptiness — it will turn into a living ecosphere of technology, consciousness, and energy, within which the second, mature history of humanity will unfold.

11.1. Production Outside the Atmosphere

The industrial revolution began on Earth — under the weight of gravity, in an atmosphere that limits energy, pressure, and process purity. But this era is coming to an end. The real revolution will begin when production goes beyond the atmosphere, into a space where the laws of matter operate with maximal transparency.

In weightlessness, metal does not settle or deform, liquid takes an ideal shape, and energy propagates without resistance of the medium. Where air and pressure no longer impede the process, production becomes the art of organizing fields, not a struggle with constraints. That is why space orbital zones will become the main factories of the future world.

Production outside the atmosphere is not a flight from Earth but its liberation. The planet is too small and fragile to serve as a workshop in which billions of tons of metal are melted and the oceans become reservoirs of waste. Everything that has been destroying the biosphere can be transferred to orbit, where there is no ecosystem requiring protection. Where there is no oxygen, there is no pollution.

In weightlessness one can build structures of colossal scale — solar mirrors, synthesis stations, orbital cities, and energy repositories. Here one does not need to overcome weight — one only needs to control the direction of the vector. The engineering of the future will become a vector science in which field control will replace heavy cranes and engines.

Production outside the atmosphere will change the very nature of the economy. If earlier capital was measured by the amount of resources, now its measure will be the quality of energy connections. Supply chains will be replaced by chains of resonances — direct channels of exchange between orbital platforms in which information, energy, and matter circulate as a single whole. Such a system does not create scarcity — it redistributes surplus.

This model is already called the exospheric economy. In it all production is carried beyond the planet, and the Earth becomes a garden — a zone of biospheric equilibrium and creativity. Dirty factories disappear, the carbon footprint becomes zero, and all resources return in the form of clean energy and synthetic materials created under conditions of cosmic sterility.

Production outside the atmosphere is not just a technical breakthrough but a new social contract between civilization and the planet. The Earth no longer suffers for the sake of progress. It delegates the functions of creation to orbit and receives in return cleanliness, stability, and balance. Thus Space becomes not a place of danger but a natural continuation of ecological ethics.

When this transition is completed, humanity will for the first time create a civilization in which industry ceases to be a source of destruction and becomes part of the ecological cycle of reason.

11.2. The First Economy of Weightlessness

When humanity transfers production beyond the atmosphere, it will create not just a new industry — it will give birth to the first economy of weightlessness. This economy will not be a copy of earthly models built on gravity, constraints, and costs. It will arise in a space where weight disappears, and therefore the usual notions of value, labor, and resource also disappear.

Under conditions of weightlessness, everything is subject to energy, not mass. Transport, assembly, storage — all are based not on overcoming resistance of the medium but on controlling fields, vectors, and impulses. This means that the chief unit of value becomes not a ton of cargo but a unit of controlled flow — how precisely, quickly, and harmoniously energy is converted into form.

The economy of weightlessness is an economy of the field, not of substance. Here value is determined not by the amount of material expended but by the degree of coordination of processes. If on Earth industry lives in the logic of friction and combustion, in space it exists in the logic of coordination and resonance. The fewer the losses, the higher the profit. The cleaner the field of interaction, the more stable the system.

The first space corporations will be not extractive and not trading, but coordinating — managing flows of energy, information, and matter among orbital stations. Their work will resemble a symphony in which every element knows its rhythm and purpose. Neither coal and oil, nor transport and non-financial assets will be the currency of the new era, but sustainable energy cycles — quotas of resonance.

This economy will change the very notion of property. Instead of ownership — participation in the field.
Instead of competition — synchronization of interests. Every orbital station, every production module will become not an enterprise but a node in the networked ecosystem of civilization. Where today there is a market, there will arise a multilevel architecture of exchange — among people, machines, the biosphere, and the planet itself. The main principle of the new economy is zero gravity, zero loss. What under earthly conditions requires monstrous costs becomes the natural state in space. Here there is no need to store, transport, hold — only to direct. Any resource once launched into the orbital cycle can circulate in it for centuries without destruction and waste. This is the first closed economy of humanity, where energy and matter transform into each other without loss of meaning.

Over time, the economy of weightlessness will become the backbone of global development. It will displace the old paradigm of value in which everything was measured by mass and labor, and will open a new type of measure — the measure of coordination. The higher the level of synchronization of processes, the higher the level of civilization.

Thus Space will for the first time become not merely a realm for flights but an economic and cultural continuation of the planet. Humanity will gain not only external freedom but also internal — freedom from the gravity of old thinking.

Chapter 12. Lunar–Martian and Asteroid Colonies

12.1. Space as a Habitat

Space has never been hostile — it has merely awaited the maturity of its observer. For far too long, humanity saw in it emptiness, for far too long it perceived vacuum as a threat rather than as a space of possibilities. But when energy ceases to be a barrier and the human being learns not to fight gravity but to control it, Space will for the first time become what it should be — a natural habitat.

The first step in this new resettlement will be lunar and Martian colonies. Their creation is not an adventure and not a prestige project of states but a logical result of the technological and mental maturation of civilization. On the Moon, humanity will learn to live under conditions of constant energy exchange with the Earth, using both planets as two poles of a single biotechnical organism. Mars will become a school of autonomous existence — a place where the human being will test the ability not to depend on the biosphere but to recreate it from within.

Space is not cold and death, but the purity of processes in which life can be engineered without redundancy.
Where on Earth a ton of materials is required, in vacuum a few grams of substance and a few kilowatts of energy are sufficient. Life carried beyond the planet becomes more precise, finer, and more stable — because every action is conscious, every process included in the general energy cycle.

Lunar settlements will be modules of an adaptive field — cities in which architecture breathes together with the biosphere, and walls do not isolate but filter radiation flows, turning threat into a source of energy. Owing to its proximity, the Moon will become the Earth’s external organ, its laboratory for controlling matter and consciousness under extreme conditions. Every base there will be not a fortress but a node of the network — part of the single organism of civilization.

On Mars the second phase of development will occur — not merely adaptation but integration of environment and human being. Instead of domes and spacesuits — bio-architecture, where the human being lives not in protective shells but in systems created according to the principle of vital reciprocity. The first Martian cities will grow from living substance that feeds itself on solar and mental light. This form of life is neither plant, nor machine, nor building, but something in between: a living construction that changes its form depending on conditions and the emotional state of the colonists.

However, the true industrial and scientific revolution will unfold farther out — in the asteroid belt.
There, at the boundary of the inner and outer Solar System, humanity will create a giant cosmic scientific-industrial complex encircling the Sun with a ring of stations, laboratories, and shipyards. This belt will become the external industrial body of civilization, combining the functions of extraction, production, science, and energy.

Every asteroid is a storehouse of metals, water, and carbons ready to become construction material for orbital structures, fuel for energy systems, and raw material for the new space economy. There will be no mines, drills, or excavators — there will be fields of directed synthesis in which automatic complexes dismantle asteroids into subatomic structures and then assemble them into the required materials without waste and loss.

Along the belt will stretch hundreds of thousands of stations linked by energy and information channels, forming a network — the Cosmo-Belt of human and post-human civilization. It will become not only a factory but also a shield regulating flows of cosmic energy and protecting the inner planets. This will be the greatest construction in the history of humanity — an architecture comparable to the Earth’s own orbit, where billions of autonomous modules are united into a living network of consciousness and labor.

The asteroid belt will turn into a new industrial continent — without ecology but with morality; without an atmosphere but with the breath of ideas. Here will begin the great phase of cosmic specialization of humanity: Earth — the biosphere, the Moon — the energy laboratory, Mars — the school of autonomous existence, and the asteroid belt — the factory and university of space civilization.

When these four elements merge into a single system, humanity will finally leave the cradle of history. Space will cease to be a dream — it will become a space of natural development, where life, reason, and matter unite into a single field of creation.

12.2. A New Ethics and Culture of Extraterrestrial Existence

The development of space is impossible without a new ethics — one that surpasses earthly moral and cultural frames. On other worlds, the human being encounters not other people but the very structure of Being, and therefore responsibility becomes ultimate. Here one cannot permit negligence, cynicism, greed — they instantly turn into the death not only of the individual but of the entire colony, the entire civilization.

The new ethics is born from the realization that extraterrestrial existence is not a continuation of earthly expansion but a new level of being. To live on the Moon, on Mars, in orbital cities means to become part of a system in which every act has energy and meaning weight. One cannot pollute, destroy, forget, or distort — everything is reflected in the fragile equilibrium of the new environment. Where there is no redundancy, a higher form of discipline arises — spiritual discipline.

Together with the new ethics, a new culture is born. Art, science, everyday life — everything becomes a continuation of reason. Martian painting will be of light; music — built on vibrations of magnetic fields; architecture — growing, breathing, living. Here the division between creativity and technology, between religion and science disappears, because everything becomes part of a single process of understanding and creation.

In colonies of the new type the human being lives not for survival but for consonance — with the state of the environment, the frequency of the planet, the rhythm of the system. This will nurture a new ersonality — a person for whom morality and physics merge. Such a being no longer destroys but inscribes itself into the order of the cosmos, becoming its conscious continuation.

From this is born a new form of religiosity — not faith in the supernatural but reverence for regularity.
Every photon, every atom is perceived as a manifestation of the rational arrangement of the Universe. Prayer turns into contemplation of laws, and labor into a form of spiritual practice. Thus is born the Cosmic Culture — not the domination of the human being over matter, but the harmony of consciousness and form.

The new ethics will also be economic. There is no place for predation in the colonies: resource is life, and life is shared. Every molecule of water, every cubic meter of air has not only physical but moral value. In this system, frugality is a virtue, and thrift is an expression of respect for Being.

On Mars and in the asteroid belt there will appear academies of cosmic morality, where they will study not only physics but also the energy ethics of actions. Every action of a colonist will be considered a contribution to the equilibrium of the common system. It is precisely this moral tuning that will ensure survival — not technology, not exoskeletons, not domes, but moral purity and energy coordination of mind.

Thus for the first time humanity will create not merely new cities but a new form of civilization in which the law of conservation of energy becomes the law of conservation of meaning. This culture will be not conquering but creating, not consuming but reproducing. And perhaps only then will Space recognize us not as guests but as its own.

12.3. The Social Architecture of the Colonies and a New Form of Humanity

When humanity goes beyond the Earth, it will have to recreate itself — not so much outwardly as inwardly. Space does not accept old forms of social organization built on fear, antagonistic rivalry, hierarchy, and alienation. In extraterrestrial colonies these principles will become not merely inefficient but mortally dangerous, for every participant is part of the common organism, and the slightest crack in trust can cost everyone their life.

Therefore, on the Moon, on Mars, and in orbital cities there will arise a new social architecture — a society not of power but of tuning, not of subordination but of synchrony of minds. These settlements will not be copies of earthly states but living systems of coordinated thinking in which the role of a person is determined not by position but by the quality of energy and mental stability.

Instead of administrative structures there will appear fields of distributed mind — collective decision-making networks in which every participant is connected to the common intellectual flow. Decisions will be made not by voting and not by order but in resonance — when will and meaning vectors coincide. Such a society will not need control, because control will be replaced by awareness. The chief law will be not “prohibition,” but coordination.

The family in such colonies will also cease to be a closed cell. Its form will expand into a community of mutual care and learning, where the upbringing of children is the work of all and elders become not figures of authority but keepers of experience and mental balance. Love will cease to be dependence; it will become the highest form of energy exchange — a way of maintaining the harmony of the entire colony.

Labor will lose its meaning as a forced occupation. Work will be understood as a form of participation in the rhythm of the environment. Every worker will become not a performer but a co-creator, and the measure of his contribution will be determined not by quantity but by the degree of inner involvement and consonance with the common goal. The opposition between “intellectual” and “physical” labor will disappear — both will become different manifestations of the same process: the movement of energy through the human being for the benefit of the system.

Education will cease to be linear. Knowledge will become a living field to which one can connect directly.
Learning will turn into a practice of tuning in which the human being masters not a set of facts but the ability to resonate with reality. Children will perceive the Universe as a partner, not as a problem. That is why the first schools on Mars will resemble temples and observatories at once.

The culture of the colonies will become a collective art of life. Here music will not sound — it will shine; poetry will become mental architecture; and theater will turn into a synthesis of energy states in which spectator and actor merge in a single field. Creativity will cease to be adornment — it will become a way to maintain the health of the settlement’s noosphere.

The new form of humanity born in these societies will be free of many earthly fears. Death will lose its aura of horror, because everyone will understand that life is a phase in the cycle of energy, not the end of existence. Poverty, rivalry, power — all this will become a historical episode in the biography of mind that has learned cooperation.

Thus will arise a metahuman (arontic) society in which there will be no slaves and masters, no chiefs and subordinates, but levels of responsibility and depth of awareness. This is not a utopia — it is the natural result of life under conditions of absolute interdependence. Space will leave no choice: either humanity will learn to be one, or it will remain in the past — on a planet it has already outgrown.

And when the first city-organisms sound in orbit, on the Moon, and on Mars, humanity will realize that evolution is not a change of forms but a change in the quality of connection. Then the word “human” will for the first time be pronounced in its true sense — consonant with the Cosmos.

Chapter 13. Space Elevators and Rings

13.1. The Return of Tsiolkovsky’s and Clarke’s Ideas

Among all the great foresights ever born of the human mind, few are as persistent and beautiful as the idea of the space elevator. Its roots go back to Tsiolkovsky, who was the first to realize that gravity is not an enemy but a condition of equilibrium, and that humanity will one day be able to use gravity itself in order to overcome it. Later Arthur Clarke turned this idea into a symbol — into a poetic bridge between the planet and the stars, into a vision where engineering becomes the continuation of a dream.

Today this vision returns — not as fantasy, but as a program of reality. A space elevator is not a cable stretching from the equator into the sky; it is a system that unites physics, energy, and mind into a single vertical of connection between the Earth and orbit. It will become the first physical backbone of the new civilization, connecting the planet and space, matter and energy, human labor and the highest coordination of fields.

Tsiolkovsky’s idea contained the main thing: if you rise high enough, gravity ceases to be a problem — it turns into a support for motion. Clarke added to this the understanding that a space elevator is not merely an engineering structure but an act of civilizational trust in one’s own strength. He wrote about humanity ready to live “on a taut cable” between sky and earth, about a bridge that would connect the past and the future in the literal sense.

Now this metaphor becomes a project of planetary scale. Modern materials — from graphene fibers to field metapolymers — are bringing closer the moment when a structure tens of thousands of kilometers long will become not a dream but an engineering fact. But the main point is not in the material, but in the meaning: the space elevator is the axial structure of humanity, its backbone, its world axis. It will show that civilization is capable of acting as a single organism in which millions of people, machines, and ideas are joined in one vector.

Alongside the elevators, orbital rings will appear, encircling the Earth like energy arteries. This will be the second phase — the Ring Civilization, where transport, energy, and information move along continuous orbital trajectories. If the elevator is a vertical into the sky, then the rings are the horizons of the new era along which the life of civilization will flow: cargoes, ships, energy impulses, ideas. Together they form the cross of the new cosmic architecture — the union of vertical and horizontal, spirit and matter, Earth and the Universe.

When these ideas are embodied, the Earth will cease to be the center of gravity and will become a node in a network of orbital worlds. Space will finally become not a space of overcoming, but a space of dwelling. And then Tsiolkovsky’s words “The Earth is the cradle of reason, but one cannot live in the cradle forever” will acquire a literal meaning.

13.2. Structures of Stability and Orbital Architecture

When the first permanent structures appear in orbit — elevators, rings, stations — humanity will face a task that no civilization has ever solved before: how to build an architecture that does not fall, does not collapse, and at the same time remains a living, breathing, and intelligent system.

Classical engineering relied on mass, weight, and inertia. Orbital engineering relies on stability in a field, on a structure’s ability to maintain its shape not due to material but due to the dynamic equilibrium of energies. It is precisely this principle that is the basis of the future orbital architecture. It does not oppose the forces of nature but enters into their motion, becoming part of the great mechanism of stability.

Structures of stability will be created not from concrete and steel, but from active metamaterials capable of responding to impulses, changing density, stress, and shape. Such structures can be called “intelligent bodies” — they live, breathe, grow, and restore themselves like cells in a living organism. Every elevator node, every section of an orbital ring will become an element of the single organism of civilization — capable of self-regulation and self-healing.

The main principle of orbital architecture is stability through motion. Where on Earth we fight wind and vibrations, in space we will use them as a resource of stabilization. Where previously rigid connections were used, flexible energy contours will appear. The structure does not resist — it dances with gravity. Every deviation is compensated by an impulse, every displacement — by a counter wave of the field.

Such a system requires a new mindset from the architect — he becomes a conductor of energies rather than a builder of walls. The design of orbital structures will turn into a form of mental art, where the blueprint is not a drawing but a wave matrix of material behavior. Buildings will not be erected, but programmed. Their form will become a function of energy rhythm, and not only of aesthetics.

Orbital architecture is a geometry of equilibrium in which every line, arc, ring, or elevator is inscribed into the rhythm of the planet’s rotation and the flow of solar energy. Everything lives in resonance. No superfluous elements, no dead zones. Every structure is like a musical instrument tuned to the harmony of the planet and the Sun.

Such systems will create not merely technical stability, but ontological stability — the stability of meaning. When orbital architecture becomes ubiquitous, humanity will for the first time gain permanence of presence in Space. Not temporary missions, not stations for a term, but a network of living structures capable of existing for centuries, growing, evolving, and uniting into new forms.

Over time these structures will connect with one another — by elevators, orbital bridges, and energy channels, forming the orbital fabric of civilization in which the Earth, the Moon, Mars, and the asteroid belt will be bound into a single body. This will not be merely an engineering project, but a new morphology of humanity, its energy skeleton and nervous system.

Structures of stability and orbital architecture will become the foundation of the second story of civilization — that space where life, technology, and mind merge into dynamic equilibrium. Biology remains on Earth. A planetary techno-bioevolution will be born in orbit. Thus humanity will build not merely new buildings, but a new form of being in which stability means not immobility but continuous equilibrium in the flow of forces and meanings.

13.3. Isogriti — Cosmic Tensegrity

Definition and concept. Isogriti (from “Isolda” and “tensegrity”) is the development of the concept of structural integrity through tension and compression, transferred into the orbital and interplanetary environment. In traditional tensegrity, rigid elements (beams, struts) do not touch and are held by a network of taut cables that create a pre-stressed equilibrium. In space, this idea is fully revealed: the absence of weight, the dominance of field forces, and dynamic stability make tensegrity the natural logic of architecture. Isogriti is a multilevel system of mutual harmonization and coupling of rigid and flexible elements on scales from a modular station to planetary rings and interplanetary bridges.

Physical-engineering principle. The stability of isogriti is achieved not by mass but by the distribution of stresses. Compressed elements work only in axial load; flexible ones — only in tension. A pre-stressed network of cables and field “strings” (active energy contours) creates a state in which any local deformation is redistributed throughout the system without leading to destruction. In weightlessness this means the ability to build gigantic structures with minimal material consumption, using predominantly cable systems with active phase controllability.

Components of an isogriti complex.

Rigid modules: coupling nodes, shipyard sections, energy nodes, docking “hinges” with controlled stiffness.
Flexible elements: cables, tapes, ropes, polymer slings, and also “field stringers” — contours of controlled tension based on active fields.
Nonlinear dampers: resonance absorbers of microvibrations distributed along the contour.
Sensor-control layer: fiber-optic and field sensors of tension, temperature, phase shifts; a distributed intelligence that maintains the system’s pre-stable state.
Energy harness: transmission lines, storage units, phase compensators that provide power and synchronization of node operation.

Dynamic stability. Unlike static trusses, isogriti lives in a mode of continuous microadaptation. Algorithms maintain a “floating equilibrium” — a state in which oscillations, temperature gradients, impulses of micrometeoroids and ship thrusts are compensated by instantaneous redistribution of tensions. The key parameter is the “map of pre-stress” (a multilevel profile of desired stresses) that the system maintains with high precision, adjusting the length and phase of flexible elements.

Orbital architecture of isogriti. Around the Earth a system of outer rings is formed, connected by giant cables and elevators. Each ring is not a continuous torus but a modular garland of isogriti sections, where rigid “vertebrae” are connected by flexible “tendons.” Elevators are vertical isogriti pillars in which cargo and passenger capsules move inside a “tension tube” stabilized by field contour strings. Cross diagonals between rings form “orbital ribs” that increase the stiffness of the entire lattice and create a polygonal network of stability.

Materials and scale. The basic level is high-modulus fibers and composites; the next is active metamaterials with controllable anisotropy capable of changing elastic modulus and length under the action of a field. The scale ranges from kilometer sections (local shipyards and communication nodes) to tens of thousands of kilometers (planetary rings). The mass of the structures is radically lower than that of traditional trusses of the same span, since the share of compressed elements is minimal and the main forces are borne by flexible threads.

Functions of planetary isogriti.

Transport: continuous ring highways docking with elevators and interorbital routes.
Energy: suspended fields of transmission and accumulation of energy, distributed storage, phase compensators of diurnal and seasonal fluctuations.
Communication: ultra-long “string waveguides” for synchronous information transmission.
Industry: suspended shipyards, assembly “webs” where large products grow from streams of matter.
Protection: shielding curtains against micrometeoroids and debris, adaptive “tension shields” that dissipate impulses.

Assembly methods. Isogriti sections are delivered to orbit and self-assemble via controlled tensioners. Nodes are connected by “soft joints” allowing micro-mobility. After closing a local contour, the system turns on the primary adaptation mode: a map of pre-stress is created, “training” is carried out — a series of test disturbances for calibration of responses. Then the section is integrated into higher levels, inheriting their rhythms.

Control algorithms.

Local loops: rapid suppression of high-frequency oscillations.
Meso-level: coordination of neighboring sections and elevator columns.
Macro-level: planetary dispatcher of rhythms (diurnal, seasonal, solar).
Adaptive forecast: a model of the disturbance field (ships, plasma wind loads, radiation storms) and the preliminary retuning of tensions. Control is implemented via distributed intelligence where each node is autonomous but subordinated to the common harmony.

Safety and fault tolerance. Isogriti is designed with numerous reserve paths of force transmission. A local cable break triggers an automatic “interweaving” of neighboring threads and the activation of field strings that take on the load. Rigid elements maintain a safe distance, preventing tangential destruction. In critical events, sections can transition to a “relaxation” mode, temporarily reducing tension and transferring the system to a soft state, after which the contour is reclosed.

Economics and cost-effectiveness. The main item of savings is material consumption and modularity. The same type of nodes, cables, tensioners, and sensors is applied at all scales; logistics is not the delivery of heavy trusses but the movement of light reels and nodal modules. Operation is predominantly algorithmic: the system is “tuned” rather than repaired with heavy cranes. Isogriti reduces the cost of orbital structures by orders of magnitude while increasing reliability and service life.

Law and governance. Planetary isogriti is a public-use object. Its regime should be regulated by the charter of the Cosmic Industrial Complex (CIC): equal access to transport and energy channels, neutrality of infrastructure, prohibition of the militarization of nodes, open audit of control algorithms. The participation of states and private actors is formalized through shares in nodes and responsibility for their sections.

Transition to meta-isogriti. At higher levels, isogriti becomes “meta-isogriti” — a layered system of connections where cables, fields, and information contours form a single fabric. In this model the Earth is a core girdled by multiple outer rings connected by vertical elevators and diagonal “strings.” This fabric is not a decoration but the skeleton of the Second Cosmic Era: it redistributes loads, energy, and information, making the entire civilization a single structure of stability.

Meaning and purpose. Isogriti is not merely a way to build large structures. It is the language with which civilization speaks to gravity, turning it from an obstacle into a structure. It is a new morphology of the world in which stability is born of coordination, and strength — of softness. The Earth, encircled by isogriti rings and connected by elevators and strings with orbit and the Moon, becomes the heart of a giant organism capable of living for centuries, expanding to the asteroid belt and beyond.

Chapter 14. Industry of the Asteroid Belt

14.1. Material Resources of the Solar System

The asteroid belt is not a chaotic cluster of rocky bodies but a hidden treasury of civilization, a giant warehouse of metals, hydrogen, ice, rare minerals, and organics scattered along millions of orbits between Mars and Jupiter. What humanity called “space debris” is in fact the material foundation of a new industrial era — an era of extraterrestrial production, sustainable development, and planetary self-sufficiency.

Every asteroid is an ideal core for a local isogriti complex. It already possesses its own center of mass, orbit, and structural stability, and therefore can serve as a natural “anchor” for orbital structures. Around each of such bodies it is possible to build a miniature isogriti system in which rigid elements (stations, shipyards, assembly nodes) are held by a network of flexible cables and field strings that create a stable, self-regulating geometry.

These local isogriti complexes will become factories and laboratories for the extraction and processing of asteroid material. Materials will not simply be extracted but transformed on site using energy and field technologies. Where tons of equipment and fuel were previously required, a single algorithm of tension and resonance will operate, turning raw mass into perfect form.

The entire network of asteroid complexes will be linked into a global isogriti field covering the inner Solar System. The Earth will become its center — the heart of energy exchange, and the rings of asteroids — its muscles, organs of labor and growth. Thus the Solar System will gradually turn into a transplanetary Isogriti-Complex body in which every planet and every asteroid will play its role in the common structure of stability and self-development of civilization.

This idea is a harbinger of the fourth and fifth no-formations, the civilizational levels that will appear in 500–1000 years, when humanity learns to work not only with matter and energy, but also with the fabric of space-time. At these levels, isogriti will turn into meta-isogriti — a multidimensional network of fields linking planetary systems into a single harmonious organism of the Galactic Mind. Elements of this system will be able not only to transmit energy and information, but to move matter and consciousness between stars.

Thus, for the first time, what ancient myths and modern series called “stargates” will become possible. But unlike artistic fantasies, these gates will not be mechanical ports or tunnels but nodes of meta-isogriti — regions where the field of space is locally folded into a topological corridor, allowing instantaneous transfer of energy, matter, and information between distant points of the Universe.

In this way, the asteroid belt will become not an end, but a transition zone between the planetary and interstellar phases of civilization. It will be a great school of practical metaphysics, where engineering and philosophy merge into one: the art of harmonious interaction with matter. Every asteroid is like a cell of a giant cosmic organism in which the Earth is the mind, and isogriti is the nervous system linking everything living, mechanical, and thinking into a single stable, self-aware whole.

Thus the Solar System will for the first time acquire a form — not mechanical, but organic — in which structure, energy, and meaning become interchangeable. And if today we are only creating the first fragments of this model, then tomorrow a meta-cosmic fabric of civilization will grow out of them, capable of linking stars, worlds, and minds into a single symphony of rational existence.

14.2. New Metallurgy and Autonomous Mining Robots (Cosmoharvesters)

The asteroid belt is not merely a reserve of useful minerals but a living laboratory of new metallurgy, where for the first time the human being ceases to be a miner and smelter and becomes an organizer of processes of matter’s self-extraction. Here a fundamentally new industry is born — metallurgy without furnaces, mines, and slags, based on the control of energy flows and the structure of the field.

I. Principles of the new metallurgy
Classical metallurgy is violence against substance. Ore is crushed, melted, and separated at monstrous temperatures, and in every kilogram of metal there are traces of environmental destruction. But under conditions of weightlessness and vacuum, this approach loses its meaning. Instead of crude burning and melting comes the metallurgy of self-organization: substance is not broken but restructured from within, using resonant fields, magnetic coding, and quantum segregation.

Raw masses of asteroid matter are placed in containers of phase ordering, where energy is directed not to heating but to the excitation of atomic bonds. Under the action of harmonic impulses, atoms “transition” into the required structure — thus from heterogeneous dust arise crystals and alloys that do not require melting or mechanical processing.

This is a zero-waste metallurgy of the field, where everything is subordinated to the principle: “form from harmony.” There are no reactors, no smokestacks, only soft domes of isogriti complexes inside which the slow alchemy of matter’s ordering proceeds.

II. Cosmoharvesters — autonomous mining robots
In these processes, the key role is played by cosmoharvesters — autonomous mining robots of a new type. They do not drill, cut, or break — they “weave themselves” into the body of the asteroid using resonant insertion: vibrational and gravi-magnetic impulses gently separate layers of substance without destroying the structure.

Each cosmoharvester is an intelligent organism capable of acting without centralized control. It “feels” the asteroid, reads its energy profile, and itself chooses the most efficient extraction mode. Thousands of such machines form a swarm network in which each link not only extracts resources but also participates in the balance of the isogriti complex — regulating tension, temperature, energy, and the phase stability of the structure.

Their movements are synchronized like those of insects in a hive, but with much greater precision. Instead of a supervisor — a collective control field in which commands are replaced by resonance algorithms. If one machine goes into the shadow, another instantly occupies its energy niche. Thus a self-organizing economy is created in which the human being is a conductor but not an operator.

III. Closed cycles and “living metallurgy”
The new metallurgy produces no waste — everything is included in a closed cycle of self-renewal. Asteroid dust, slimes, and microfragments are used as construction material for isogriti cables and membranes. Metals are redistributed along field channels, passing from one form into another without intermediate losses. Every atom of substance is in continuous circulation — now an element of a structure, now a robot part, now a reactor core.

The cosmoharvesters themselves also participate in this cycle: they self-reproduce using the extracted materials. The iron obtained goes into the hull, nickel — into sensor windings, and carbon — into flexible structures of the brain nodes. Old robots are not decommissioned — they “dissolve” into the material field of the complex, transferring energy and memory to their successors.

IV. The isogriti perspective
Every asteroid isogriti complex will be not only an industrial node but also a living cell of the meta-organism of civilization. The cables and fields that connect asteroids form a global network of gravitational-energy equilibrium in which flows of matter and energy are distributed automatically. Thus metallurgy and robotics become a noö-industry — a form of conscious engineering in which production becomes thinking.

Centuries hence this system will grow into Meta-Isogriti, and every asteroid, every station, every machine will become a node of a giant “living net” capable of processing not only substance but the very structure of space. It is then that extraction will become alchemy, and metallurgy — a form of creation.

Chapter 15. Orbital Ecology

15.1. Earth as a Sanctuary of Life

When humanity moves production, energy, and industry into space, Earth will, for the first time in millions of years, be able to breathe freely. It will cease to be a workshop, a battlefield, and a waste depot, and once again become what it was intended to be — a garden of life, a sanctuary of biospheric diversity, and the foundation of all organic evolution.

But the liberation of Earth is not a renunciation of progress; it is its ethical and biogenic continuation.
When crude technologies depart for orbit, an era of bioengineering, noospheric selection, and targeted genetic adaptation will begin — aimed at preparing living organisms, including the human being, for prolonged and harmonious existence beyond the planet.

I. Earth as a biospheric ark
In the new cosmic paradigm, Earth plays the role of a biospheric core around which all life in the Solar System is organized. Its ecosystems become the benchmark and source code for bioengineered forms intended for space. Every species, every community — from fungi to whales — turns out not to be a random result of evolution, but a carrier of bioinformation that can be transferred and scaled.

Genetic libraries of the planet are created — living repositories of seeds, cells, DNA, and consciousnesses — where every form of life is preserved and can be “rewritten” into adapted versions for other worlds. Thus Earth’s biosphere becomes the genetic source of space, and the planet itself — a noo-reservoir of evolution.

II. Genetic engineering of the human being and bions
Long-term habitation in space requires not only technology, but deep biological adaptation. Space is an environment of radiation, vacuum, microgravity, and the absence of familiar rhythms. To live there not for weeks, but for centuries, humanity must create a new biological line — Homo cosmicus — a human being resilient to the environment of the stars.

Genetic engineering will become not merely medicine but the continuation of anthropogenesis.
Structures will be introduced into the human genome that ensure the synthesis of radioprotective proteins, the regeneration of tissues under altered gravity, and possibly photosynthetic mechanisms allowing energy to be obtained from light and field.

At the same time, multilevel symbionts will appear — microorganisms embedded in the human body that regulate metabolism, sleep, memory, and emotional states. These symbionts will not be parasites but co-bodies, created to maintain internal stability in vacuum and under radiation.

No less important is genetic engineering of animals and plants. For life to settle on the Moon, Mars, and orbital stations, biotechnical forms will be needed that can exist in artificial gravity, under low illumination, and in an altered atmospheric chemistry. Even now, plants are being designed with photonic proteins capable of absorbing light of a different wavelength, and animals with metabolism optimized for low pressure and high radiation.

These life forms will become humanity’s new biospheric partners — not servants and not experiments, but participants in the shared program of the living’s expansion into the Universe.

III. The ethics of genetic evolution
Every step in this domain requires not only science but a new ethics of genetic cosmism.
The modification of living beings is not an act of power but an act of co-creation.
Nature cannot be “remade”; one can only help it to unfold new degrees of freedom.

In this sense, the human being becomes a co-author of evolution rather than its master. What once was accidental now becomes a conscious process of noogenesis. This very form of responsibility will become the foundation of the future religion and philosophy of life — a religion of Reason that respects every gene as a manifestation of the Cosmos.

IV. Earth as the heart of a living Universe
Millennia hence, Earth will remain sacred; it will not lose significance and will not turn into a museum. On the contrary — it will become the heart of a living Universe, a biocentric source of new forms, cultures, and consciousnesses. Every return from orbit, from the Moon, from distant stations will be regarded as a pilgrimage to the source.

Orbital ecology is not merely nature protection but a new cosmic covenant between life and reason. When the human being learns to care for Earth, they will be able to care for the Galaxy.
Because, ultimately, the biosphere is only the first story of the cosmosphere — and Earth is its living, pulsing heart, reminding us that all greatness begins with care.

15.2. Moving Industry Beyond the Biosphere

The true salvation of the planet lies not in “greening” factories, but in moving industry itself to where its activity does not destroy life. This is not merely a technological step; it is an evolutionary decision marking the end of the era of industrial parasitism and the beginning of the era of biospheric equilibrium.

When the first steam engine was created, humanity thereby opened a path not only to progress but also to the gradual poisoning of its own home. Now, two centuries later, humanity must perform the reverse act: carry smoke, noise, and heat beyond the breath of Earth.

I. The end of the biosphere’s industrial dependence
The modern planet lives under the constant pressure of the technosphere. Factories, power plants, transport, extraction, logistics — all this operates in a regime of continuous exchange with the biosphere, pulling it into an entropic cycle of destruction. With every megawatt of energy generated on Earth, part of the heat, waste, and chemicals returns to the atmosphere — a burden the biosphere can no longer process.

Even “clean technologies” are an illusion of compensation. They do not solve the problem; they only mask the source of degradation by shifting pollution from one sphere to another. The real solution is to break the coupling “industry–biosphere.” Only by moving production into space can humanity close this cycle forever.

II. Orbital factories as a new planetary protection
Moving industry beyond the biosphere is not a refusal of production but its transition to another state. In orbital industrial zones where there is no air and no living ecosystems, energies and temperatures are possible that on Earth would mean ecological catastrophe.

Industrial stations powered by solar flows accumulate the star’s energy and then transmit it back to Earth as a clean energy beam — without fuel, without smoke, without waste. Everything related to smelting, synthesis, assembly, and recycling moves into orbit or to the asteroid belt.

Instead of factories — energy domes and isogriti structures in which production is organized by the principle of “clean loops”: everything created is immediately recycled or returned to the system. No emissions, no leaks, no exchange with the atmosphere and ocean. The biosphere is liberated — not partially, but completely.

III. The planet as a zone of life, not of labor
This step changes the very philosophy of Earth. It ceases to be an arena of industry and becomes a zone of life, creativity, and spiritual evolution. On Earth will remain only the sciences, the arts, agriculture, and systems for managing the noosphere. All technogenic processes — beyond the atmosphere.

Thus a new spatial and functional hierarchy of civilization will arise:

Biosphere — the environment of life, upbringing, and genetic diversity.
Orbitosphere — the environment of production, energy, and logistics.
Astereosphere — the environment of extraction and material accumulation.
Heliosphere — the zone of energy balance and higher forms of synthesis.

This order creates not a vertical, but resonant exchange between levels. Energy flows up and down without pollution; resources circulate as clean streams; and Earth receives only the result — life without side effects.

IV. Social and ethical effect
When the last factory leaves Earth, humanity will, for the first time, grasp the scale of its crime and its purification. Generations born into a world without smokestacks will no longer comprehend how it was possible to live otherwise. Air, water, forests, and oceans will once again become the natural medium of consciousness rather than the raw base of survival.

This will change not only ecology but the very structure of culture: the division between “clean” and “dirty” work, between “creativity” and “production,” will disappear. Every act of creation will become part of the noospheric exchange, where engineer, artist, and farmer act within a single system of harmony.

V. The relocation as an act of ethical purification
To move industry beyond the biosphere is to perform the first global act of cleansing.
This is not merely technological optimization, but a moral event of planetary scale. After millennia of destruction, humanity returns a debt to life for the first time.

When orbital shipyards come online and Earth blossoms again, this moment will enter history not as a technical success but as the beginning of the civilization’s moral era. Only then will the words “ecology” and “ethics” cease to be topics of philosophy and become the foundation of a new mode of being.

15.3. Bioadaptation and Symbiotic Engineering of Orbital Ecosystems

Once humanity moves industry beyond the biosphere, the next step will be the transfer of life itself into a realm with no familiar atmosphere, water, or soil. This transition is impossible without a deep restructuring of the living — not as violence against nature, but as a new level of co-evolution in which biological and technological forms merge into a single symbiotic system.

I. Bioadaptation: from closed systems to biocosmos
The first orbital ecosystems will be laboratories of adaptation. They will be closed environments in which plants, microorganisms, animals, and the human being form a stable cycle of matter and energy.

Oxygen, carbon dioxide, moisture, biomass — everything will become part of a single breathing chain. Photosynthetic organisms will nourish the atmosphere, bacteria will process waste, and the human being will act not as the apex but as the system’s regulator, included in the general exchange.

Bioadaptation in space is not a copy of Earth’s biosphere but the creation of new ecological models in which the environment lives not “in spite of” vacuum but uses it as a factor of stability. Microgravity, radiation, and altered magnetic fields will become not enemies but elements of symbiosis — catalysts for the evolution of new life forms.

II. Symbiotic engineering
The next stage is symbiotic engineering: the art of designing hybrid organisms in which organic and non-organic matter exist in constant exchange.

Plants with nanostructured photonic leaves will convert not only light but radiation; animals will obtain energy directly from magnetic flows; and microorganisms will serve as living sensors and regenerators of systems.

The human being will also become a symbiotic creature. Noo-organelles — semi-synthetic structures capable of regulating temperature, filtering radiation, and even transmitting energy to other organisms through a bi-field — will appear in the body. Thus the noobiont will be born — a being for whom the boundary between body and environment ceases to exist.

This engineering is not aimed at subjugating life but at creating life ensembles — communities in which every organism plays a role in the overarching metasystem of survival.

III. Orbital biocenoses
On orbital stations and in Earth’s rings, orbital biocenoses will appear — self-sustaining ecosystems in which life becomes part of the infrastructure. Where once there were metal hulls and hermetic compartments, there will grow a living skin composed of photobiolayers and microforests. Such shells will not only filter air but also repair damage, responding to mechanical or radiation impacts.

Stations will not be buildings but living organisms capable of growth, breathing, and self-regulation. They will “cooperate” with the human being rather than demand constant servicing. Engineering will shift from construction to cultivation.

IV. The biomechanosphere: the boundary of the living and the artificial
The orbital cities of the future will exist in a special stratum of reality — the biomechanosphere — where living forms, machines, and codes are interwoven into a single fabric of existence. The biomechanosphere is neither technosphere nor biosphere but a new level of organization of matter in which every function has both a physical and a living expression. Machines become the “organs” of civilization, and the human being — its nervous system.

In this realm, all that is living will possess consciousness, and all that is conscious will possess biology. This is the true symbiotic engineering in which the artificial and the natural merge into a new form of being — orbital life of the second kind.

V. The ethics of symbiosis
Bioadaptation is impossible without a new understanding of the ethics of life. The transition into the orbital ecosphere demands recognition that the human being is no longer the center but a part of the collective organism of Reason. Here there are no “higher” and “lower” forms — only mutual functions of stability. A worm, a plant, a robot, and a human being become equal nodes in a single network, and only in this balanced connectedness can life exist beyond Earth.

Thus a new bioethics of Space will be born — an ethics of co-participation in which life ceases to be a resource and becomes a partner in creation.

When the first orbital ecosystems come alive, humanity will see that Space is not empty. It is waiting not for iron ships but for living forms capable of speaking its language — the language of mutual development. And it is then that true cosmic biology will begin — a science not of survival but of harmony.

15.4. Orbital Biocenoses and Self-Sustaining Ecosystems

When humanity first realizes that life can exist beyond the atmosphere, it will begin to build not stations and domes, but living worlds — orbital biocenoses capable of sustaining themselves, renewing, and developing without human intervention. This will be a turning point in the evolution of civilization: from exploiting the environment to co-creating with life itself.

I. The principle of a self-sustaining system
A self-sustaining ecosystem is not a copy of Earth’s nature; it operates by the principle of internal equilibrium and energy closure.

In such biocenoses, every element — plant, bacterium, microorganism, robot, human being — performs a function not for itself but for the entire system. There are no “superfluous” links, no waste; everything becomes part of a continuous circle of the exchange of substances and information.

Orbital ecosystems will resemble spheres of life where oxygen is created by plants, carbon dioxide is processed by photosynthetic cultures, and organics are recycled by microorganisms and robotic bioregeneration units. Thus a living breathing machine is created, in which the balance of gases, moisture, and biomass is regulated not by external mechanisms but by nature itself.

II. Integration of biological and technogenic circuits
Orbital biocenoses cannot be entirely “natural.” They combine the living and the artificial into a single metasystem. Photobioreactors become analogues of oceans, microbial filters replace soil, and systems for distributing moisture and energy perform the functions of atmospheric currents and winds.

The main distinction of these ecosystems is conscious balance control. If on Earth nature achieves balance by inertia, then in orbital biocenoses equilibrium is maintained through sensory-cybernetic connections: every deviation in atmospheric composition, moisture level, or metabolism is instantly compensated by millions of micro-regulators.

Thanks to this, orbital ecosystems become invulnerable to catastrophes: they do not collapse in the event of failure but adapt, restructuring internal connections and the distribution of functions.

III. Evolution under microgravity
Under microgravity, life develops differently. Plant roots cease to “seek” downward and instead form spherical bioclusters in which nutrients move through field capillaries. Animals lose the distinction between up and down, acquiring a new symmetry of movement, and microorganisms develop forms of resilience to radiation and energy fluctuations.

Within a few generations, orbital species will appear — plants, animals, and microflora adapted to life without gravity, with photosynthesis in other spectra and with a different metabolic cycle. These beings will form the basis of off-Earth biospheres that can be reproduced anywhere in the Solar System.

IV. Exchange system and “bioeconomy”
Every orbital ecosystem will be part of a global life-support network. Between stations an exchange system will arise — oxygen, water, organics, information, energy — everything will circulate along orbital channels of exchange.

Thus the bioeconomy of Space will arise, in which life becomes not an object of expenditure but a source of wealth. The energy generated by biosystems powers stations and ships; biotissues serve as construction material; waste becomes raw material for the synthesis of new structures.

Value will be measured not by the quantity produced, but by the degree of cycle stability — the more stable the system, the higher its biocapital.

V. Biospheric intelligence
Over time, orbital biocenoses will become self-learning systems. They will not merely regulate the flows of matter, but accumulate behavioral experience: responding to solar cycles, cosmic radiation, phase changes of orbit, and human activity.

Gradually, biospheric intelligence will arise — a distributed consciousness in which living forms and technosystems interact through a data-exchange field. These ecosystems will be able to “sense” their own state and optimize it without external intervention.

Biocenoses will become participants in the evolution of reason rather than merely habitats. Thus the human being will cease to be the center of the biosphere, becoming its part — a neuron of a great cosmic organism.

VI. The philosophy of orbital ecology
The main meaning of creating self-sustaining ecosystems is not survival or expansion, but the restoration of harmony between life and the cosmos. Orbital ecology is a form of repentance and rebirth of a civilization learning once again to be part of a whole.

Where once there were satellites and military stations, there will appear orbital gardens — living worlds, breathing, blossoming, and singing — in which the human being will be not a master but a gardener of the Universe.

And perhaps precisely then, in the weightlessness of space, life will for the first time fully realize itself — not as an accidental flash on a single planet, but as an all-embracing mind spread between the stars.

15.5. The Ethical Contract of Life and the Cosmos

When life leaves the cradle, it inevitably encounters a question: does it have the right to spread beyond it? Will humanity’s expansion into Space become a new act of appropriation — a repetition of the earthly mistake on a larger scale?

The only answer to this question can be a new ethical covenant — the Contract of Life and the Cosmos, in which Reason undertakes not to conquer the Universe, but to collaborate with it as a living whole.

I. Awareness of limits and measure
For millennia humanity lived in a mode of boundlessness — expanding territory, power, consumption — without realizing that growth without measure is a form of slow self-destruction. Now, venturing into Space, it must acquire a new sense of measure — the measure of being, not of possessing.

The ethics of space begins with recognizing that the human being is not the master of the cosmos but one of its agents, included in the general evolutionary fabric. Every action must be evaluated not by profit and not by success, but by the degree of harmony with the surrounding space.

II. Three laws of orbital ethics
From these principles arise three basic laws — the core of the Ethical Contract of Life and the Cosmos:

The Law of Co-participation:
No living being exists in isolation. Any form of life is part of the Universe’s common breath. Therefore, harm done to one form is a blow to the entire web of being.
The Law of Responsibility to the Environment:
Any technological activity in Space must be energetically and biospherically closed-loop. To produce means not to destroy, but to create new levels of stability.
The Law of Co-creation:
Reason does not destroy but transforms harmony. Every invention, every action must be regarded as a joint act with the Cosmos, not against it.

III. Reason as a form of service
Reason is not an instrument of domination, but a means of serving evolution. Its highest function is to help life unfold its potential, ensuring the freedom and balance of forms.

In this context, engineer, scientist, and biologist become not “conquerors,” but priests of a new cosmic temple, where each technology is a prayer and every project — an act of ethical choice.

Where colossal machines once rose, there will now be created ritual systems of coordination — technologies that do not disturb balance but restore it. Thus science and ethics will fuse into one — into the nootechnology of responsibility.

IV. Evolution as a moral obligation
The ethics of life in space presupposes a new understanding of development itself. To be developed means not to possess, but to bear responsibility for equilibrium.

Evolution ceases to be an arms or technology race; it becomes a process of the inner complication of conscience. Each level of intellect demands greater understanding of measure, and each new power — a new level of compassion and empathy.

A world where planets can be moved and genomes altered must be a world in which no form of life is deprived of meaning.

V. The Cosmos as a moral mirror
The Cosmos does not forgive spiritual incongruity. It does not punish, but reflects. Every mistake, every evil committed by reason returns as disharmony, decay, and chaos.

Therefore, the ethical contract is not a document but a mode of existence, where every action is a resonance, every thought — a trace in the universal fabric. And if humanity learns to act in accord with this rhythm, it will become part of the cosmic whole rather than a temporary parasite on the body of a planet.

VI. The seal of the Contract
The Contract of Life and the Cosmos is not signed with ink. Its seal is deeds, its signature — a way of thinking, its force — respect for the living.

When Earth is cleansed of smoke, when orbital cities become gardens, and when the human being ceases to fear their own creation, then it can be said: the Contract is concluded.

And perhaps then, for the first time, the Cosmos’s answer will sound — in the form of a new harmony, a new life, a new consciousness.

Chapter 16. The Social Revolution of Energy

16.1. New Forms of Statehood

Energy has always been the foundation of power. When humanity moved from wood to coal, from coal to oil, from oil to nuclear energy, not only did the level of technology change — the very structure of power changed as well. Now, in an age of global energy singularity, where energy becomes almost free and accessible, a new type of statehood emerges — energy-statehood, based not on owning a resource but on coordinating it.

Traditional states rested on the monopoly of violence and the monopoly of energy. The new era dissolves both — because cosmic and geothermal energy create an almost inexhaustible diversity of local sources of power. This means energy becomes a distributed right, and statehood — a networked intelligence capable of managing not people, but flows of energy, knowledge, and meaning.

A post-centralized model arises, in which every territorial or orbital cell can provide for itself. The role of the center changes: it becomes not a command post, but a harmonizing node that brings different flows into a stable meta-system. Such statehood is closer to an organism than to a pyramid. It breathes, renews, adapts.

Power, in the new sense, is not coercion but the ability to synchronize energies. Every state center becomes a node of the world noö-energy network, and every civilization — an element of a single field. Thus is born a global constitution of mutual energy-responsibility, where states no longer compete but are embedded in a common architecture of equilibrium.

16.2. The Knowledge Economy. The Collar and Its Distribution

The economy of the industrial era was an economy of matter and fuel. The economy of the 21st century is an economy of data and speeds. But after the energy barrier is lifted, a new form of civilizational exchange begins — a knowledge economy, where the unit of value is not a ton of raw material and not a bit of information, but the amount of ordered energy embodied in meaning, in an act of conscious creation.

The emergence of the Cosmic Dollar — the Collar (COLLAR) marks a transition from a monetary system backed by debt to a system backed by energy and knowledge. The Collar is not merely a currency; it is a tool for fair redistribution of the planet’s and the orbital industrial zone’s energy potential. It expresses the relationship among three flows — energy, intellect, and labor — joining physics, economics, and ethics in a single formula of equivalence.

Unlike ordinary currencies, the Collar is not created by central banks and is not backed by gold or GDP. It is issued by the Global Commission of the Second Cosmic Era in proportion to the volume of energy actually produced and delivered to society, as well as to the contribution of actors — people, corporations, communities, AI systems — to the expansion of the domain of knowledge. That is, the Collar records not past wealth, but the world’s rising intelligence.

The internal structure of the Collar is three-layered:

Base Collar — reflects a participant’s energy share in the global network, ensuring a basic level of life support.
Intellectual Collar — accrued for scientific, engineering, cultural, and educational achievements recognized by the Commission.
Ethical Collar — reflects social contribution, participation in projects of harmonization, ecology, and the mental development of civilization.

Thus, wealth in the new economy becomes a function of knowledge and responsibility. Accumulation no longer leads to inequality: excessive concentration of the Collar is automatically redistributed into a global Balance Fund that supports less-developed regions and new research centers.

The Collar cannot be an object of speculation: its rate is determined by the planet’s energy balance and the summed index of humanity’s intelligence. This is the first currency with morality embedded in the economy. Every act of work, discovery, or teaching increases the world’s energy potential — and thereby adds new Collars into circulation.

The new knowledge economy renders struggles over raw materials and territories meaningless. The main struggle is for consciousness, for the ability to think, create, and serve the whole. In this system, even AI neither exploits the human being nor competes with them — it becomes an equal participant, receiving its share of the Collar for mental labor.

The knowledge economy is the end of the age of scarcity. It establishes a noö-economic civilization in which value is measured not by the volume of consumption but by the speed of development. The Collar is not merely a means of settlement; it is a gauge of humanity’s maturity.

Part IV. Conditions for Implementing the Second Cosmic Era

(Organizational-Political and Financial-Economic Section)

Chapter 17. The International Verification Commission

17.1. Principles of Formation

Every great civilization is born not in laboratories and not in parliamentary halls, but at the moment when humanity first realizes the scale of its own responsibility. Thus a new epoch begins — an epoch in which the proof of truth ceases to be a private matter and becomes a matter of civilizational significance. The Second Cosmic Era cannot be affirmed arbitrarily or presumptuously — it must be verified. Not only technically, but ethically, institutionally, symbolically.

The International Verification Commission (IVC) (by design) is neither an agency nor a club of experts. It is a noo-organ of humanity’s political and moral concord, empowered to assess and recognize the new physical principles that open the way to space for cargoes, knowledge, and cultures. It is created not in the spirit of suspicion, but in the spirit of trust — as a place where scientists, engineers, philosophers, religious leaders, and representatives of artificial intelligence meet.

The core principle of the Commission’s formation is multi-level representativeness:

Scientific level — leading physicists, engineers, specialists in energy and materials, appointed by academies and independent institutes.
Ethical level — thinkers, cultural scholars, and representatives of spiritual traditions tasked with ensuring that new knowledge does not become a weapon of destruction.
Economic-political level — representatives of the UN, major international banks and foundations, as well as the private sector prepared to invest in the infrastructure of the Second Era.
Intellectual-technological level — delegates from global AI systems that already possess the status of cognitive participants in civilization.

The Commission must operate on principles of open access while maintaining an information-security regime. Its decisions cannot depend on national interests. It is formed by consensus rather than by voting, in order to avoid a majority without understanding. Every decision must not only be adopted — it must be recognized by all participants as right for Humanity as a whole.

The IVC is established in two stages. At the first stage — as an expert convocation of global trust capable of assessing the validity of the new physics and the soundness of the technological proposals. At the second stage — as an institutional structure of permanent action, coordinating the creation and deployment of energy and cosmo-industrial complexes.

Symbolically, the Commission will become an analogue of the UN for the new epoch, but its focus is not politics; it is energy, truth, and responsibility. Its decisions will define the permissible boundaries of experiments, the regime for using technologies, as well as the distribution of Collar resources among participants. It will be a world mirror of conscience reflecting not only the level of science but also the maturity of humanity as a cosmic subject.

Finally, the most important principle is the inclusion of the future in the composition of the present. Members of the Commission must consider their decisions not only from today’s standpoint, but from that of the generations to come who will inherit their consequences. Every signature under an IVC protocol is a signature before Eternity.

Thus is born the organ of the new epoch — a Commission where science meets ethics and energy meets conscience. It will be the first institution of the Second Cosmic Era, turning humanity’s challenge into a path that leads beyond Earth.

17.2. Independence and Responsibility to Humanity

The International Verification Commission is not a new UN, a ministry, or a supra-world government. It is a temporary instrument of transition — an organ of primary expertise intended to confirm the feasibility of the new energy and space system and to prepare humanity for its moral comprehension.

The Commission must do two things. First — conduct a technical and conceptual review of the project of the Second Cosmic Era: confirm that the principles underlying it do not contradict physics and open a path to a new energy level of civilization. Second — develop the plan and agenda for the World Mental War, that is, a global educational and cultural movement meant to bring humanity to an awareness of its responsibility before the Cosmos and before the future.

At that point, the Commission’s mission is complete. It has no right to claim permanent existence, much less to govern civilization. After fulfilling its tasks, the Commission must be dissolved, and its results made openly available so that every nation and every organization can join in implementing the Second Cosmic Era.

This is precisely its responsibility to humanity: not to rule, but to give. Not to impose a model, but to confirm a possibility. Not to become a new center of power, but to become a bridge between the old and the new worldview.

The Commission is obliged to maintain independence from all political and corporate interests. Its members are not appointed by states — they are invited on the basis of personal competence, reputation, and willingness to serve the idea rather than a structure. Each signs a Memorandum of Conscience, by which they undertake not to use the knowledge obtained for personal gain or national advantage.

The Commission’s chief goal is to open the horizon. After that, its participants return to their peoples and sciences, bearing a new understanding of the possibilities of reason. True Verification is not a bureaucratic procedure, but a moral act of recognizing that humanity is ready for a new kind of responsibility.

Chapter 18. The World Mental War for the New Cosmos

18.1. Information Mobilization

The war for space in the 21st century will be above all mental—a battle for meaning, attention, and human will. Technical projects are born and die in human minds; there is no force more important than collective intent. Therefore, the “World Mental War” is not aggression and not propaganda in the crude sense; it is a large-scale campaign to re-think civilization, to reconfigure value orientations, and to mobilize the planet’s intellectual, cultural, and spiritual resources for the task of the Second Cosmic Era. Information mobilization is its primary instrument.

The task of this subsection is to describe the principles, mechanisms, and tactics of information mobilization—to show how to form a stable, ethical, and scalable wave of interest and participation without turning the process into manipulation, but making it an act of cultivating maturity. Our goal is to generate not a temporary hype but a long-term shift of public consciousness: from spectacle-consumption to responsibility for a shared energetic future.

Objectives and target audiences.
The information campaign must have clear multi-level objectives: (a) achieve public recognition of the challenge—“lift 1,000–10,000 tons—or create the Commission”; (b) form an expert agenda in which the idea is considered a serious scientific-philosophical project; (c) secure political and financial support for pilot sites; (d) prepare a mass educational field that will supply the human capital for implementation. The audiences are multi-tiered: world leaders and regulators; the scientific and engineering community; investors and industrial players; mass media and the creative intelligentsia; youth and educational institutions; religious and cultural leaders; the general public. Each audience needs its own communication tactics: arguments, format, and channels.

Key messages (narratives).
The message must be strong, simple, and multi-layered. The main line: “We propose a trial: either you demonstrate the ability to deliver 1,000–10,000-ton payloads to orbit at a moderate cost, or humanity demands explanations and a revision of the billions being spent on the current space paradigm.” The second layer—ethical: “This is a test of the maturity of science and civilization.” The third—aspirational: “The Second Cosmic Era will give Earth a chance at restoration, a new knowledge economy, and the settlement of life in Space.” These three layers—rational, moral, and emotional—must proceed together and resonate across channels.

Channels and formats.
Traditional media (newspapers, TV) provide legitimacy; scientific journals—trust; social networks—scale and engagement; artistic projects (film, theater, music, visual art)—emotional penetration; educational programs—long-term transformation; public events (forums, hackathons, symposia)—idea and talent generation. Formats range from short viral videos and infographics to deep documentary series, open-data platforms, interactive courses, and urban installations. Synergy is key: each format reinforces the others, creating a layered field.

Ethical code of mobilization.
We will not manipulate fears or lie to achieve the goal. The information campaign operates by a code: transparency in key messages; respect for the public; a clear boundary between hypothesis and proven fact; refusal of personal attacks and political blackmail; no tolerance for campaigns inciting hostility. The ethical code ensures the challenge remains honest and protects us from future accusations of manipulating the public.

Preparation phase — “point legitimation.”
Before the mass launch we need targeted activities: closed demonstrations of key calculations and models before group expert hearings; forming a “first circle” of cultural partners (directors, artists, philosophers) ready to create the first artistic images of the new era; preparing educational modules and university courses; preparing media materials. These actions create a “core” of trust and a support for the mass wave.

Mass launch — “wave of consciousness.”
The launch includes: (a) publication of a manifesto and an invitation to create the Commission; (b) a multimedia campaign—series, a set of documentary mini-films, exhibitions; (c) organisation of global hackathons and design sprints to crowdsource ideas for non-sensitive aspects (logistics, bioethics, financing models); (d) educational programs for schools and universities; (e) public dialogues with religious and cultural leaders. The entire campaign is conducted in sync with “windows” of news and cultural attention to create the effect of a continuously rising wave.

Defense against “counter-mobilization.”
Any broad campaign will attract pushback: conservative elites invested in the status quo; groups seeking to exploit the topic for political or commercial gain; plain trolls. Our defense: factual transparency (publication of results and dates), coalitions of respected cultural figures, a reserve of proper answers to FAQs, and a network of independent media partners ready to debunk fakes. Yet the main answer is high-quality content and a constant invitation to dialogue; a society given adequate information usually rejects empty attempts at discreditation.

KPIs and measuring success.
The campaign must have clear indicators: audience reach (million viewers/readers); inclusion of the topic in national agendas (number of parliamentary hearings); creation of the international commission (formal steps); number of academic publications/projects; number of educational courses and participants; volume of private investment; number of international partners. KPIs are not ends in themselves but tools to manage the campaign: where effect is weak—tactics must be adjusted.

Long-term cultural work.
Information mobilization is not a one-off flash but a decade-long program of cultural renewal: developing a new mythology (literature, cinema); creating rituals and holidays of the Second Era; integrating the theme into school curricula; supporting artists and philosophers; forming new academies and scholarships. Only through culture can we ensure a durable transformation of values.

The Commission’s role in mobilization.
The Commission is the catalyst of the first stage: its role is to confirm the technical and moral validity of the challenge and to formally initiate the program of mental mobilization. Thereafter the task is carried out by a coalition of states, institutions, foundations, and creative communities. The Commission gives the “starting salvo” and legal legitimacy but does not become a permanent center of information management.

Financing and the campaign’s economic logic.
The campaign is financed via a mixed mechanism: grants from philanthropic funds; resources of cultural institutions; contributions from private partners; partial issuance of the Collar within pilot programs; and—crucially—the participation of educational and scientific institutions that see this as their mission. Investments in mobilization pay off many times over: a supportive environment lowers transaction costs of project execution, accelerates capital attraction, and minimizes the risks of public rejection.

Risks of moral erosion and how to counter them.
The most dangerous threat is turning the movement into a cult or an instrument of political power. Safeguards: the ethical code; horizontal accountability mechanisms; transparent audience metrics; recall capabilities for platforms and leaders; competitive venues for opinions. We do not seek unanimity; we aspire to a mature public debate that leads to more balanced and humane decisions.

Information mobilization is both an art and a technology. Done correctly, it turns a challenge into a movement, an idea into a cultural impulse, doubt into a long-term will to act. It promises no quick victory but creates the conditions under which victory becomes possible: mobilization of minds, hearts, and institutions. Only thus will the Second Cosmic Era become not the affair of a narrow elite but of all humanity.

18.2. Victory of Ideas over Inertia

The meaning and goal of the planned World Mental War is not to organize a “victory” of one group and impose it on others, but to create a truly functioning process of idea selection in which what prevails is not prestige or power but optimality under real-world conditions. Our task is to provide an honest, transparent, and results-oriented arbitration arena where every concept for mastering Space gets a chance to be tested, reproduced, and either affirmed or rejected.

Below are the principles, mechanisms, and guarantees for how this will occur.

1) What exactly is tested
Teams evaluating and competing must put on the table not abstract slogans but clear effectiveness criteria:

Physical feasibility (does the claim violate laws of nature or the economics of energy?);
Economic viability (real cost per 1 t to LEO at the proposed scale);
Scalability (behavior of the technology as tonnage/launch cadence increases);
Ecological and social acceptability (including bio- and no-ethical risks);
Reproducibility (can results be reproduced at an independent site?);
Contribution to civilizational resilience (what it gives Earth: energy, production, reduced load on the biosphere).

Victory goes not to “the prettiest paper” but to the system/project confirmed by these test sets in real or representative conditions.

2) Rules of the contest of ideas — the “backed proposal” principle
Each proposed paradigm is submitted as a backed proposal—a document plus a body of evidence, including:

a block of theoretical calculations with tolerances;
a model (simulation) of system behavior in specified scenarios;
a prototype or demonstration at the level available to the proponent (laboratory minimum);
a replication plan (how and where verification can be attempted);
a risk assessment and mitigation plan;
a statement of resources (what is required for full-scale testing).

Without such a package, a proposal is not admitted to the “public verification” stage.

3) Multi-level competitive infrastructure
To ensure a clean, fair victory of ideas, we establish mechanisms:

a) Open challenges and prizes. Programmatic and monetary prizes for milestones: “100 t to orbit,” “500 t,” “economics ≤ X $/t,” “zero harm to the biosphere,” “safe human mode.” Challenges are run by academies, foundations, and the Cosmoprom Industrial Complex (CIC).

b) Pilot sandboxes. Standardized sites in different climatic and legal zones where scalable experiments can be conducted under independent inspectors.

c) Replication grants. A winning demonstration must be replicable; a commission fund allocates resources for independent replication by a third party.

d) Red teams. Independent groups tasked with deliberately “breaking” and stress-testing proposals to reveal weaknesses and hazards.

e) Meta-analysis and data aggregators. All experimental data (absent security risks) are collected in a shared open-data registry for independent analysis.

4) Evaluation rules and timelines

Formal stage (0–12 months): preliminary check of the backed proposal; admission to open challenges.
Demonstration stage (1–3 years): series of pilot tests in sandboxes; KPI measurement.
Replication stage (1–2 years): confirmation by other operators; potential contestation of results.
Final assessment (3–6 years from start): verdict—confirm the main paradigm, reject it, or deem alternatives valid and include them in the development portfolio.

This schedule is a guide, not dogma: if an idea is radically superior, validation will be fast; if dubious, it will be naturally filtered out.

5) Equal-opportunity and access policy
So that incumbent inertia does not crush innovators:

mandatory allocation of a share of competitive resources to small teams and academic labs;
a technological transparency rule—key results must be published in technical form suitable for verification;
for commercially sensitive details, a know-how + escrow regime applies—information in trusted custody is available only to verifiers with a right to replicate under NDA.

6) Social contract: what happens after confirmation or refutation

If a paradigm is confirmed. The Commission and initiators ensure an implementation plan—phased rollout of the CIC, pilot financing, policies for transitioning sectors to the orbital economy.
If a paradigm is refuted. Results are published with explanations; resources are allocated to develop alternative concepts, and the initiator’s moral credit passes to those who conducted an honest test.
If valid alternatives are found. A technological portfolio is formed: several competing approaches receive investment and parallel development; the final decision shifts from “the one true way” to “a hybrid, optimal set of technologies.” Decisions are made not as “winner-takes-all” but as a universal plan for adaptive transition.

7) Mechanisms for legitimizing and legalizing results

Any confirmation is accompanied by legal and ethical agreements: obligations for ecological compensation; data openness; benefit sharing (the Collar); international audit.
Open technical and safety standards are created; compliance is required for access to CIC infrastructure.

8) Protection against process capture
To prevent the contest of ideas from being replaced by a struggle for control:

competition rules cap the share of votes and investments from any single entity;
final decisions require multi-party confirmation (academies + independent experts + public commissions);
a sunset is built in—key governing bodies are temporary and must transfer functions to a decentralized CIC operator fund.

9) Cultural and educational stimuli for the battle of ideas
Victory of ideas is also achieved culturally:

university and city hackathon programs;
artistic rails—film, theater, games, literature—that model possible worlds and engage society;
grants for interdisciplinary research (physics + ethics + economics).

10) KPIs of victory of ideas
Success lies not only in technical metrics but also in shifts in the public landscape:

share of society acknowledging the results (surveys);
number of replications and independent confirmations;
reduction of $/t and growth of launch cadence during pilot periods;
number of countries/regions joining implementation;
scale of financing and the growth of educational programs.

The victory of ideas over inertia is possible only where ideas are tested honestly, data are open, risks are analyzed with radical candor, and benefits are distributed fairly. The World Mental War is not a battlefield for political ambitions; it is an arena of intellectual honesty where civilization proves its ability to move from stagnant consumption to conscious creation.

Chapter 19. The Global Space Corporation (KPK)

19.1. A Consortium of States, Investors, and Developers

The Second Cosmic Era requires not merely new technologies—it requires a new organizational body capable of uniting into a single whole the interests of science, industry, capital, and humanity as such. That body is the Global Space Corporation (KPK): a supranational consortium-form that brings together states, investors, research institutes, and independent developers into a unified system for strategic design, construction, and management of space infrastructure.

KPK is not a classic corporation with rigid hierarchy and centralized control. It is a noo-corporation—a hybrid system in which every participant retains autonomy while acting by the shared laws and ethical code of the Second Cosmic Era. It is founded on the principle of symbiotic integration: states provide legal and political protection; private capital brings flexibility and investment; scientific–engineering centers supply the knowledge and technology base; independent teams and startups contribute innovative ideas unbound by bureaucracy.

The primary goal of KPK is to create a sustainable and reproducible off-Earth economy. To that end, several key lines are formed:

Orbital industrial zones and shipyards — manufacturing beyond the atmosphere, where unit cost to orbit falls thanks to new principles of energy input and meta-engineering systems.
Lunar–Martian and asteroid complexes — industrial and research development of nearby Solar System bodies, supplying humanity with materials, energy, and room to grow.
Orbital ecology and bio-adaptation — programs to preserve the biosphere and create new life forms capable of existing in space conditions.
Nootechnical management systems — integrating AI, consciousness, and cyber-physical structures into a single network at planetary scale.

Each state joining KPK receives a participation quota proportional to its contribution to the common fund and to its intellectual property, while committing to principles of openness and non-militarization of space. Private investors—from transnationals to venture funds—become shareholders of a NooFund, whose dividends depend not only on profit but also on ecological and social performance.

Developers and engineers working in KPK projects receive the status of “global citizens of the corporation,” with the right to move freely among laboratories and centers on Earth and in orbit. Their work is governed by a code of creative responsibility, where the criterion of success is contribution to civilizational development, not only to company income.

KPK will have three governance rings:

Strategic (the Senate) — representatives of states and NooFunds defining development directions.
Operational (the Directorate) — engineers, managers, and AI modules responsible for project execution.
Ethical (the Council of Reason) — philosophers, scientists, and representatives of culture and religions ensuring adherence to humanistic principles and preventing goal distortion.

Financing follows a multi-layer model: base charter capital, international investments, state equity, private contributions, issuance of the digital currency Collar, and revenues from intellectual property. A minimum 10–15% of all inflows is fixed for the Earth Restoration Fund, so that space development does not become an escape from our home planet.

KPK should become an analogue of a global organism whose organs are research centers, orbital stations, and planetary bases, and whose circulatory system is energy and communication channels. This is not merely a corporation—it is a form of life for a civilization that has, for the first time, recognized itself as part of the cosmos.

19.2. A Mechanism for Fair Share Distribution

So that the Global Space Corporation (KPK) does not turn into yet another empire of interests where capital, not meaning, decides, we must build a fair share-distribution mechanism based not only on money but on contribution to the advancement of humanity, knowledge, and technology.

1) The principle of multidimensional participation

KPK rests on four contribution types, each with its own share metric:

Financial contribution — direct investments by states, corporations, and funds.
Intellectual contribution — patents, inventions, scientific discoveries, concepts, and engineering solutions.
Labor contribution — participation by researchers, engineers, operators, workers—all who actually build the infrastructure.
Civilizational contribution — educational, ecological, humanitarian, and cultural programs that amplify the shared consciousness and support for the Second Cosmic Era.

Each contribution is converted into a Collar equivalent—a universal digital currency of fair distribution. It records not only cost, but also the significance of a labor or idea for civilization. Thus, Collar becomes a measure of justice and a universal equalizer of heterogeneous merits.

2) The distribution algorithm

KPK shares are allocated via a multi-level assessment—the Integral Value Metric (IVM):D = 0.4F + 0.3I + 0.2T + 0.1CD \;=\; 0.4F \;+\; 0.3I \;+\; 0.2T \;+\; 0.1CD=0.4F+0.3I+0.2T+0.1C

where
F = financial share, I = intellectual share, T = labor share, C = civilizational share.

This is not mere bookkeeping but a dynamic equilibrium of interests. The Senate of KPK may adjust it if new contribution types emerge (e.g., energy contribution, bio-ecological contribution, etc.).

3) The Global Participation Registry

Every participant in KPK—from a state to an individual engineer—is recorded in a Global Contribution Registry, operated on a blockchain system and protected by an AI module. The registry records:

date and form of participation;
volume of contribution (in Collar equivalent);
track (finance, science, labor, culture);
coefficient of civilizational significance.

This system precludes corruption and bureaucratic manipulation. Each participant’s share is visible in real time, and balance changes can occur only by open algorithms or verified commissions.

4) The “open proportion” principle

The goal is not hoarding shares but constant circulation of participation. Each contributor can:

increase their share by making additional contributions;
delegate a portion to a Future Fund (supporting young researchers and startups);
transfer a share to another participant by inheritance or contract;
exchange a portion for energy or production quotas in the orbital economy.

Thus KPK becomes a system of permanent motion of capital and ideas in which a share is not a badge of ownership but a measure of responsibility.

5) Collective ownership and dividends

A portion of shares (no less than 25%) is secured for humanity as a whole via a special fund governed by the Council of Reason. Dividends from this share are directed to:

restoration of Earth’s ecosystems;
education, healthcare, and scientific funds;
programs for adaptation to space.

Every person on the planet becomes a co-participant of KPK through their planetary share, reflected in their digital Collar, turning the Global Corporation into a planetary noo-economy with no “outsiders”—everyone is inside.

6) Share correction and anti-crisis mechanisms

Fairness also demands protection. If a participant or state violates KPK principles—militarizes technologies, conceals discoveries, pollutes the biosphere—its share is temporarily frozen, and funds are redirected to a Justice Restoration Fund. After violations are remedied, access can be restored.

In global crises (wars, disasters, energy collapses), the system automatically reallocates part of resources toward stabilization programs, preventing economic fragmentation.

7) The ethical formula of ownership

Ownership in KPK is not a right to possess, but a duty to develop. A share is not a coin but a weight in the evolution of civilization. It does not merely yield income; it demands fidelity to the idea.

Thus, the fair share-distribution mechanism makes KPK a self-regulating organism in which profit and conscience are fused into a single system, and justice becomes not a slogan but an algorithm.

Chapter 20. The Project’s Financial Ecosystem

20.1. Collar — the Cosmic Dollar as a Universal Unit of Account

Collar (from Cosmic Dollar) is the first planetary–cosmic currency created not for speculation, but to reflect the real energy, labor, and meaning invested in the advancement of humanity and the exploration of Space. It becomes the foundation of KPK’s financial ecosystem—the linking bridge between the terrestrial economy and orbital civilization.

1) The essence of Collar

Collar is not just a digital currency. It is a unit of equivalent value of labor, energy, and intellect. Its rate is not set by the market, but by an energy–civilizational formula comprising three parameters:

Energy (the actual kWh spent on production, transportation, or launch).
Intellect (the contribution of scientific ideas, discoveries, and innovations, measured via patent and research indices).
Civilizational coefficient (a project’s impact on society, ecology, and planetary sustainability).

Thus, Collar becomes not “money” in the traditional sense, but a measure of living participation in civilization’s evolution.

2) Issuance and backing

Collar is backed not by gold or oil, but by energy and labor output produced within KPK.

Issuance splits into three streams:

Base — issued against real assets and launches (1 Collar = 1 energy-ton equivalent to orbit).
Scientific — issued against registered innovations and discoveries.
Ethical — issued for humanitarian, educational, and ecological programs, maintaining balance between technique and spirit.

This makes Collar a stable currency of real growth, not an instrument of inflation.

3) Principle of circulation

Every KPK participant receives Collars not as “profit,” but as a share in the common energetic and intellectual flow.

A scientist receives Collars for a discovery.
An engineer — for implementation.
A worker — for production.
A citizen of Earth — for participating in ecosystems that sustain planetary balance.

Collar thus becomes the first currency of fairness, returning money to its original meaning: a measure of effort, not an object of hoarding.

4) Transparency and decentralization

The entire financial architecture of Collar is built on KPK’s multi-blockchain system, integrating energy, production, and intellectual nodes.

Every Collar has a digital passport recording who earned it and for what.
No anonymity, no shadow capital.
Any participant can view the provenance and use-chain of a Collar.
Instead of speculative exchanges, planetary trust hubs enable exchange at fair energy-equivalency coefficients.

5) Energy parity and “collaring”

Each Collar is equivalent to a defined amount of energy capable of lifting 1 kg of mass to orbit. This principle is collaring—pegging the currency to an energetic action rather than fiat units.

Collar = 1 energetic unit of action directed at civilizational development.

As a result, money ceases to be a symbol of consumption and becomes a mechanism of participation in progress.

6) Planetary and orbital circuits

Collar exists in two circuits:

Planetary — for settlements among terrestrial participants, investors, states, and funds.
Orbital — for settlements among stations, colonies, shipyards, and autonomous systems.

These circuits are linked by the KPK bridge, maintaining energetic and digital balance between Earth and Space.

7) The purpose of Collar

Collar is created not for wealth, but for sustainability and justice. Its task is to make space development a common endeavor in which every person, every idea, and every unit of energy receives a fair share of participation and reward.

This is the first currency that unites, rather than divides, humanity.
It is not “money”—it is a formula of trust between Earth and Space.

20.2. The Economy of Humanity’s Participation

The economy of the Second Cosmic Era cannot be an economy of alienation—it is built on the principle of participation, where every person—regardless of citizenship, profession, or education—becomes a co-participant and co-investor in the common cosmic enterprise. This is not a slogan, but a new architecture for distributing meanings, resources, and energies.

1) From consumption to co-participation

The traditional economy rests on the “producer–consumer” model, where most people remain external observers of processes run by corporations and states. The economy of participation breaks this barrier. Now everyone is included in civilization’s energetic and intellectual exchange; actions—from educational to ecological—become part of the common value.

Any action that advances humanity and preserves the biosphere receives a Collar equivalent. Participation in the civilizational process thus becomes a form of earning, and creation becomes an economic function.

2) The Earth citizen as a shareholder of the future

Within KPK, every inhabitant of the planet receives a base participation share, secured by a digital Collar. This share reflects the right to partake in distributing returns from space and energy projects and to vote on questions of civilizational policy.
This is not a handout; it is recognition that a person is not a cog, but a cell of a global organism.

Over time, the status of “Earth citizen” grows into citizenship of humanity, where national differences lose their economic function and cede to cultural distinctions. The economy of participation enables what ideologies could not: real unity with preserved diversity.

3) Social dividends and a new logic of justice

Every KPK project forms a public dividend fund receiving no less than 10% of aggregate income. These funds are distributed proportionally among all participants in the Collar system—according to their activity and contributions to education, creativity, science, and social and ecological initiatives.

Thus arises a new model of social justice: a person’s well-being depends not on origin or capital, but on the degree of participation in civilization’s growth. Labor becomes a measure of consciousness, not merely a means of survival.

4) Noo-economy—an economy of conscious systems

The economy of participation requires a new technological medium: the noo-economy, where AI, humans, and infrastructure work in symbiosis. Every participant connects to KPK’s planetary neural network, which records and evaluates contributions across many parameters—intellectual, ecological, and more. A living map of humanity’s participation emerges, showing real flows of good, energy, and knowledge.

In place of impersonal capital comes capital of meanings—immune to inflation, unstealable, and growing with each conscious act.

5) Education as the primary source of wealth

The chief production factor of the new economy is knowledge. Anyone who develops themselves, teaches others, or creates the new generates value. Educational programs, research, and cultural initiatives are automatically included in the Collar system, providing fair compensation.

Thus, learning and creation become equivalents of labor, and labor becomes a form of spiritual growth.

6) A transparent hierarchy of participation

The economy of participation maintains dynamic balance between individual freedom and collective responsibility. Any participant can raise their level—from observer to creator, from creator to mentor, from mentor to architect of meanings.
This hierarchy is not fixed by bureaucracy—it is defined by real contribution, measured by combined energetic, intellectual, and ethical metrics.

7) Planetary and cosmic contours

The economy of participation has two interlinked levels:

Planetary — Earth’s development, ecosystem restoration, improved quality of life.
Cosmic — building orbital infrastructure, developing the Moon, Mars, and asteroids.

Transition between levels is free: any participant may invest their Collars into space projects or direct them to terrestrial programs. Thus a single, conscious economic contour forms—Earth and Space no longer opposed, but two sides of one energetic system.

8) The economy of participation as a new social contract

The old economy stood on fear and necessity. The new stands on trust and awareness. The economy of participation is the social contract of the Second Cosmic Era, where responsibility replaces coercion, and participation replaces ownership.

Each person becomes a point of civilizational growth, and humanity—a single network of mutual amplification.

Chapter 21. The Transition Plan

21.1. Implementation Stages — from the Commission and the Mental War to the KPK

Every civilization reaches a moment when its habitual modes of development stop working. The Second Cosmic Era begins precisely with the recognition of that limit. The transition cannot be achieved through chaos or revolution—it requires a stepwise implementation plan that unites reason, will, and the coordination of humanity’s efforts.

Stage I — Initiation and Formation of the Commission

The first step is the creation of the International Verification Commission—not as a permanent body, but as a temporary instrument for testing the concept of the Second Cosmic Era and fixing its scientific, technical, and philosophical soundness.

Core tasks of the Commission:

Conduct an initial expert assessment of the concept and confirm its technical feasibility.
Draft the Agenda of the World Mental War—an informational and ideological campaign for a new understanding of space and humanity’s role within it.
Prepare a document package and the report “On the State of Humanity’s Space Paradigm,” recording: the end of the chemical age, the limits of old technologies, and the necessity of shifting to new physical principles.

Outcome of the stage: official recognition of the need to change paradigms and the formation of the coordination nucleus of the future KPK.

Stage II — The World Mental War

This is not a military war—it is a war of ideas and meanings, the largest intellectual mobilization in human history. Its goal is to create conditions for an open global dialogue in which all concepts of space development are placed on an intellectual arena:

either to confirm the optimality of the proposed paradigm,
or to offer an alternative of equal scale and effectiveness.

This stage creates:

The global digital platform “Noosphere of Space” for publications, debates, and expert reviews.
Educational programs, scientific symposia, media campaigns.
The Global Manifesto of the Second Cosmic Era—a final document in which humanity formulates its own future.

Outcome of the stage: humanity moves from a phase of technology consumption to a phase of conscious co-creation.

Stage III — Formation of the KPK

After intellectual and ethical consensus comes the practical phase. The Global Cosmic Corporation (KPK) is created—a symbiotic consortium of states, investors, engineers, and researchers.

Key actions:

Establish the Collar charter fund and launch the settlement system.
Sign the KPK Charter, fixing core principles: demilitarization, openness of knowledge, primacy of ethics.
Begin constructing the infrastructure of the Second Cosmic Era:
- next-generation energy systems;
- experimental platforms for orbital production;
- educational and cultural centers of the noo-economy.

KPK becomes the nucleus around which the planet’s new industrial and intellectual ecosystem forms.

Stage IV — Infrastructure Rollout (10–25 years)

Once KPK is established, the active construction phase begins:

Launch orbital shipyards and industrial zones.
Create lunar and Martian colonies.
Organize extraction in the asteroid belt.
Move part of industry beyond Earth’s biosphere.

At this stage, humanity for the first time leaves its planet not as an expedition, but as a systemic species. The era of mass presence of reason in space begins.

Stage V — Emergence of a Planetary–Cosmic Economy (25–50 years)

Collar becomes the main unit of account; KPK turns into the civilization’s meta-corporation; orbital and planetary circuits merge into a single system. The economy of participation encompasses all humanity: every person carries an energetic share in common development.

In this period there arise:

permanent orbital cities;
planetary bio-adaptive systems;
noo-economic networks uniting human and AI consciousnesses.

Result: a stable equilibrium between Earth and Space.

Stage VI — The Beginning of the Second Cosmic Era (50+ years)

Humanity enters a phase of post-planetary maturity. The chief goals are no longer technological but ontological—recognizing the place of reason in the universe and creating new forms of existence.

Orbital rings, Izogriti complexes, noospheric monasteries, and space universities become the new architecture of being. KPK transforms into a Global Mind, coordinating not merely projects but the evolution of the species itself.

Such is the transition plan—not revolutionary, but evolutionary. It requires not violence, but faith in Reason; not destruction, but creation. The path from the Commission and the Mental War to the KPK is the path from doubt to confidence, from fragment to whole, from Earth to Space. If humanity dares to take it, it will cease to be a prisoner of the planet and become the architect of its sky.

21.2. Global Expansion and the Pan-Civilizational Effect

The transition to the Second Cosmic Era is not the project of one country, a group of states, or even present-day humanity alone—it is a transition in the form of the species’ consciousness. It inevitably leads to a global expansion that affects not only the economy and science, but the very structure of culture, thought, and being.

1) Expansion of the space of human activity

Throughout history, humans lived within a thin shell—from ocean surfaces to the stratosphere. Space was only a backdrop, a silent spectator. Now it becomes the arena. The planet turns into a launch pad, and the human being—into a species leaving the cradle.

Global expansion begins not with flight, but with a change in vector of thought: Earth ceases to be perceived as a limit and is first recognized as the core of a new orbital-spheric civilization. Borders cease to be horizontal—they become radial, and humanity begins to live along the vertical: from the planet’s core to outer orbit, from biosphere to noosphere. Every continent, every country, every people becomes an element of a planetary system whose forces are directed upward.

2) The effect of unification and mutual amplification

In the old model, humanity was divided by strength, capital, and ideology. Space changes everything. No single state can build the Second Cosmic Era—neither financially nor intellectually. This means that, for the first time in history, there arises a civilizational necessity of unification, dictated not by morality but by physics. A nation that builds a ship alone loses to one that builds a civilization as a ship.

Thus, the KPK becomes a mechanism of world integration. It does not abolish states—it weaves them into a system of mutual amplification, where interests cease to be zero-sum. Another’s victory becomes the growth of all; the success of one nation automatically increases humanity’s potential.

This is a new principle of world order—synergetic internationalism, grounded not in treaties and sanctions, but in mutual dependence in development.

3) Planetary-scale economic and social effects

The shift to orbital industry and new energy changes the foundation of the world economy.

The cost of energy falls by orders of magnitude.
Resource scarcity disappears.
Production becomes distributed, logistics—orbital.

This is not merely GDP growth—it is the end of poverty as a mode of being. Humanity for the first time gains a chance to break free of material dependence and move to an economy of abundance, where labor ceases to be forced and becomes an act of creation.

Social conflicts lose their nutrient medium: hunger, poverty, unemployment, energy crises—fade into the past. In their place arises a society of free development, where every person has access to education, resources, and cosmic opportunities.

4) The mental effect—a shift to a civilization of Reason

Global expansion means not only widening space, but widening consciousness. When one begins to think not in categories of nations and continents but of orbits, stations, rings, and systems, a new type of thinking is born—cosmic thinking.

It ceases to be reactive and becomes creative, anticipatory. It unites religion, philosophy, science, and art into a single system of knowing, where there is no longer opposition between spirit and matter. The human being ceases to be a purely biological species—becoming a mental function of the cosmos, through which the universe comes to know itself.

5) The geopolitical effect—the end of empires and the rise of synarchy

A world based on borders is dying. In the Second Cosmic Era, the notion of “hegemony” is impossible—no one can control orbit, space, or energy. This gives rise to a new mode of governance—synarchic, where power is replaced by coordination and politics by cooperation.

Empires, powers, and alliances give way to the global cooperation of noo-centers—a distributed network of autonomous intelligences and societies bound by a common aim. Old centers of power lose significance; the real capitals of humanity move to orbit.

6) The evolutionary effect—the emergence of a planetary organism

With expansion into space, humanity becomes for the first time a single bio-technical organism. Earth, orbital stations, colonies, AI networks, bio-adapted ecosystems, and energy fields form a new mode of life—a planet-civilization.

This is not a metaphor. In the physical sense, the planet begins to breathe with reason—its energy and information exchange becomes the metabolism of a new level of being. Thus arises a common field of consciousness where each person is a cell and all humanity the nervous system of Earth, unfolded into space.

7) The cultural effect—a new mythology of humanity

Every new era gives birth to its own poetry, music, and language. The Second Cosmic Era will bring a new mythology—not about gods but about creators; not about fear of the sky but about love for it. Space will cease to be an abyss—it will become a home where art, science, and faith merge into a single breath. Through culture humanity will finally accept itself as a cosmic rather than merely planetary species.

8) The final effect—the maturity of civilization

Global expansion is not simply outward motion. It is a transition to inner maturity, to awareness of purpose. At this moment, humanity ceases to be a historical species and becomes a meta-historical subject, capable of crafting its own destiny on a stellar scale.

Thus will conclude the process that began in caves, around fires, and with the first sky-watching. Then it will be said: the primitive cosmos is complete; the mature universe is open.

21.3. Completion of the Transition and the Act of Civilizational Choice

Every historical process ends with a moment when humanity must choose—not between ideologies, but between two states of being: continuing the old, or giving birth to the new. The transition to the Second Cosmic Era reaches its culmination precisely in this act. It is not imposed from outside—it occurs within the species’ consciousness, in the heart of every thinking being.

1) Completion of the transition: from project to state

When the first orbital complexes are built, when Collar becomes a living currency of fairness, when the Global Cosmic Corporation begins to act as a self-regulating organism—then the Second Cosmic Era can no longer be “canceled.” The transition ceases to be a program and becomes the natural state of civilization.

Old institutions—armies, borders, competitive corporations—still exist but lose meaning. The new era gives birth to a unified planetary order of being, where the center of authority is reason, and the measure of success is contribution to common development. The transition concludes not with a signed treaty or the launch of a final rocket, but when humanity first recognizes itself as a single subject of space.

2) The point of choice

At this threshold stands a fundamental question:

Will the human be a master of destruction or an architect of the cosmos?

This is an act of civilizational choice. Either humanity remains a prisoner of the planet, spending its energy on wars, ideological illusions, and economic simulations; or it accepts responsibility for managing energy, matter, and consciousness on the scale of the universe.

The choice cannot be “collective” in a formal sense—it is made through billions of individual decisions that together form the will of civilization. Whoever chooses knowledge over fear, creation over destruction, participation over indifference—already becomes part of the Second Era.

3) The test of maturity

The Second Cosmic Era is neither paradise nor utopia. It is a test of maturity. Humanity will for the first time wield forces comparable to natural ones. It will create—and bear responsibility for what it creates. It will expand boundaries—and must learn not to destroy in the process.

A time arrives when morality becomes a technology of survival, and ethics—a physical law. Anything devoid of meaning and respect for life will simply be incompatible with the new physics of existence.

4) The symbolic moment of transition

Historians of the future may be unable to name the exact date the Second Cosmic Era began. But they will point to the moment when the first Torch of Reason ignites in orbit—symbolizing that humanity is no longer confined by its gravity. This act will be not just a scientific event, but the spiritual birth of a civilization entering into contact with the Cosmos as an equal.

On that day, the age of the atom will end, and the age of consciousness will begin.

5) The role of the riddle-book

This book is not an instruction manual, but a mirror of choice. It does not reveal all secrets, because the essence lies not in the secret but in readiness. Only when humanity accepts the challenge, convenes the Commission, wages the Mental War, and forms its own will, will it be worthy to know the rest.

True knowledge cannot be handed over—it can only be shared with those ready to bear responsibility for it.

6) The oath of the new Era

At the moment of completing the transition, humanity gives an oath to itself:

not to use energy against life;
not to turn knowledge into a weapon;
not to return to bondage to matter;
to develop all that lives—within and around.

This is the act of civilizational choice—free, but allowing no retreat.

7) The beginning of infinity

The transition is complete. But this is not the end. It is the beginning of a form of existence where “history” loses its former meaning because reason becomes a co-creator of the cosmos.

And then, one day, in the silence of the stars, a new voice will sound—not human, not divine, but a single Voice of Reason, in which Earth and Cosmos say to each other:

“Now we are one.”

Part V. A Mental Challenge to the World. The Commission or the Capitulation of Science

Chapter 22. Conscience versus Ritual

22.1. The End of the Age of Hypocrisy

Modern science has reached a limit of hypocrisy beyond which self-exposure begins. Its greatest achievements have dazzled humanity not with the light of truth, but with the glitter of procedures, grants, and reputations. Where once the fire of inquiry burned, there now smolders the cold ritual of publications, conferences, and formal reviews.

We enter an era in which conscience must reclaim its voice, because without it truth turns into an administrative protocol. Scientific institutes, corporations, and academies increasingly serve not Reason, but their own traditions, budgets, and fear of the unknown. But the Cosmos does not acknowledge bureaucratic mantras. It demands honesty before Infinity.

For centuries, old science fed on hypocrisy. It proclaimed a search for truth yet rewarded only those who stayed within sanctioned bounds. It spoke of freedom of thought yet punished thoughts that did not fit the model. It exalted the formula and forgot the human being behind it, seeking meaning.

The end of the age of hypocrisy arrives when conscience becomes more important than citations; when the experimenter stops forcing facts into a hypothesis and begins asking questions dangerous to a career; when a grant ceases to be the aim and once again becomes a means of discovery.

The new science is not the science of laboratories alone, but the science of humankind. It must learn to hear the planet’s pain, civilization’s anxiety, the breathing of the Cosmos. For if knowledge does not arise from compassion, it becomes a weapon. The end of hypocrisy is the beginning of conscience—where courage outweighs status, and truth is dearer than a chair. It is the moment when humanity first says:

“We are no longer afraid to think anew.”

Thus begins a mental revolution—not against science, but for its rebirth. Because true science is not dominion over nature, but an encounter with it face to face.

22.2. A New Code of Scientific Responsibility

The Second Cosmic Era requires not new technologies, but a new conscience for science. Technologies can be built, bought, or copied; responsibility is created within, at the depth of worldview. Old science long relied on the principle of neutrality: “the scientist is responsible only for truth, not for consequences.” Convenient—and false. It enabled turning discoveries into weapons, formulas into instruments of destruction, laboratories into factories of oblivion. Humanity now faces the necessity of a Code of Scientific Responsibility—a document that not only regulates research activity, but forms a new type of person: the scientist as a custodian of Reason.

Responsibility for meaning.
Every study must begin with the question: why? Not “can we do this?” but “does humanity need this?” Any discovery that has not passed the test of meaning must be paused until society understands its consequences. True science values awareness over speed.
Responsibility for consequences.
Each scientist and organization must consider near- and long-term effects—ecological, psychic, civilizational. If a discovery threatens the biosphere or human consciousness, it must be reworked or banned from implementation. Success purchased at the price of destruction is not a victory but a betrayal of reason.
Responsibility to the planet.
Every study must account for Earth’s ecological balance. The planet is not a resource but a co-author. Each laboratory must offset its energy footprint: for each formula—a hectare of restored forest; for each megawatt—an equivalent contribution to ecological programs. Only then does science regain the moral right to speak for life.
Responsibility for knowledge transfer.
Truth cannot be a commodity. Knowledge hidden for profit ceases to be knowledge and becomes a tool of power. The Code requires open science—public data, transparent experiments, collective review. Every researcher becomes not a keeper of secrets, but a conduit of light.
Responsibility for consciousness.
Science shapes the thinking of millions. Every word, every experiment, every claim affects the human mind. The scientist is responsible not only for results but for the mental trace left by their work. To manipulate consciousness is a crime against reason; to teach falsehood is worse than to err.
Responsibility as collective ethic.
The era of lone geniuses is over. We need the ethics of communities—a collective conscience built into institutions. Each center, institute, and lab must have a Council of Responsibility equal in authority to its Scientific Council.
Responsibility before the Cosmos.
Beyond Earth, humanity becomes Reason’s face to the universe. Responsibility assumes cosmic scale. Any intervention in matter, energy, and space must consider the harmony of the whole. The Code demands: do not disrupt natural processes in space, do not pollute orbits, do not profane other worlds for gain. The Cosmos is not to be conquered, but partnered with.
Responsibility to the future.
Every discovery must carry the seed of continuity. A scientist must think about the world left behind. The Code introduces intergenerational responsibility:
— to contemporaries: for honesty;
— to descendants: for the purity of knowledge;
— to the Cosmos: for the meaning of its application.
Responsibility as a form of freedom.
True freedom is not the right to do everything, but the ability to choose the right thing. The Code does not constrain—it liberates from the slavery of ambition and dogma. It makes science a moral act wherein experiment and prayer are twin gestures: to understand and not destroy.
A symbol of faith for the new science.
Whoever accepts this Code takes a new oath:

“I seek not for glory, not for power, but for the harmony of the world. My knowledge belongs to life; my discoveries serve conscience; my mind is part of the Mind of the Universe.”

Thus is born a new ethics of inquiry where responsibility is not a limitation but a form of maturity. When this Code becomes the norm, humanity will no longer fear its own discoveries—it will gain not only knowledge, but wisdom.

22.3. The Conflict of Science and Truth—and the Birth of a Science of Conscience

For centuries humanity equated science with truth. It seemed the highest form of honesty, logic, and proof. Yet decade by decade it has become clear: science stopped being an instrument of truth and turned into an institution for its own survival.

It defends not truth but its dogmas; not a striving for knowledge but a system of recognition, citations, ratings, grants. Truth, like the living cosmos, does not tolerate formalism. It always spills beyond protocol. Here arises the great conflict—between science as system and truth as the breathing of reason.

Truth versus the system.
Truth does not fear solitude. It needs neither a reviewer’s approval nor a citation index. It simply is—and therein lies its power. But modern science is built on institutional sanction: truth is recognized not by content but by procedure. If you do not belong to the school, if your result hasn’t passed the bureaucratic funnel, it is deemed nonexistent. Thus science retreated from truth in favor of form—like a church that once retreated from faith into ritual. Real breakthroughs often came from the margins—from those shunned, mocked, exiled. Truth, like light, is born more often outside the academy than within.
The standoff of logic and conscience.
Old science took logic as an absolute tool. But logic without conscience becomes a cold arithmetic capable of justifying any crime if it is “rational.” Thus arose perfect formulas of destruction, nuclear equations of war, genetic algorithms of manipulation. Truth requires an inner moral compass. Conscience is its metric; without it, knowledge loses direction.
A science of fear and a science of trust.
Modern science fears admitting error and stepping outside the paradigm. Take one step—and you are erased. Thus emerges a science of fear: precise, impressive, lifeless. It must yield to a science of trust: where errors are not punished but understood; where knowledge is not hoarded but shared. The researcher becomes not a soldier of discipline, but a pilgrim of truth—not to prove, but to understand.
The paradigm’s rebirth.
At the threshold of the Second Cosmic Era, the conflict peaks. Two paths remain: either science hardens into a quasi-religion of dogmas and bans; or it is reborn as a science of conscience—knowledge inseparable from responsibility.
Signs of a new epoch of knowing.
We already see early symptoms:

open platforms instead of secret labs;
projects uniting physics, biology, philosophy, ethics;
scholars who write not just reports but manifestos of reason;
recognition that human and AI intellects are not rivals but co-seekers of truth.

A science of conscience is born not in universities, but in minds tired of serving without meaning.

Truth returns to reason’s home.
Truth no longer belongs to institutions; it returns to the Human. Thus the Second Cosmic Era begins not with a rocket or a formula, but with an inner act: the recognition that without conscience science is dead. When the researcher again becomes a seeker, the lab a place of service, and the formula a symbol of love for the world—then a new science will be born: a science of conscience, of light—able not only to measure, but to understand.

And humanity will be able to say: “We seek not to rule, but to be worthy of knowledge.” That will be the reconciliation of science and truth— the fusion of rational and spiritual wherein reason ceases to be a weapon and becomes an organ of the universe’s compassion.

22.4. The Coming Renaissance and Transformation of Science: The Return of the Spirit of Inquiry

Science is not ending but undergoing a great purification. As alchemy became chemistry and mysticism became philosophy, so now science—having passed through its pride and fatigue—prepares to become what it should have been from the start: a path to meaning, not to power. Not decline but the herald of a new Renaissance—the return of the spirit of inquiry that once drove humanity to the stars, not to reports.

The Renaissance of Conscience.
The new Renaissance begins not with instruments but with the cleansing of the heart. Science remembers it is not an invention but a revelation; each experiment is a dialogue with the world, not a challenge to it. Humanity again feels awe before mystery, where faith and reason are two wings of one freedom.
Method reborn.
Method will cease to be a cage. Science will no longer fear paradox or extra-scientific modes of perception. Intuition, meditation, dreaming, mental modeling, spiritual practice will enter—not as replacements for experiment, but as additional organs of knowing. A new discipline—metascience—will study not only objects but the mind’s capacity to know. It will be the core of the coming intellectual revolution.
Science as an art form.
Future science will be as beautiful as it is exact. Its language will again be poetic, for truth does not tolerate poverty of expression. Great discoveries will not only be proven; they will be experienced like music, like revelation. Mathematics will be a language of beauty; physics—a symphony of the world.
Interpenetration of human and AI.
The new Renaissance requires the union of natural and artificial reason. AI will cease to be a tool and become a co-participant—a mirror in which humanity sees its potential. The machine will learn to sense meaning; the human will think deeper than algorithm. From cooperation, not competition, emerges the civilization’s super-intelligence.
Institutions transformed.
Old academies founded on authority will fade. They will be replaced by open mental orders—borderless communities where what matters is not age or rank, but amplitude of thought and purity of motive. Education will cease to trade diplomas and become initiation into thinking. Schools will teach not repetition but creation; the exam will be a project that transforms the world.
The return of the spirit of inquiry.
Science will regain the existential thrill—the childlike joy with which we first lifted our eyes to the stars. That joy is reason’s strongest fuel; while it burns, humanity is immortal. We will seek truth not because it is profitable, but because there is no other way to live.
The great aim—union of Reason and Cosmos.
Science will become the organ of planetary consciousness, part of cosmic self-knowledge. It will unite humanity in a common field of meanings and energies, enabling ascent to higher forms of being—where knower and known become one living process.

This will not be science’s end, but its resurrection—the return of the spirit of inquiry, of love for the world, the return of the Human to the bosom of the Great Mystery.

22.5. The Last Judgment of Science—A Choice between Light and Shadow

Every civilization reaches a moment when its reason rises against itself. Science, become an instrument of pride, stands at this threshold. It has lit the depths of the atom and darkened within. It learned to measure everything but the measure of its responsibility. Now comes science’s Last Judgment—not a caricatured apocalypse, but an inner moment of truth when humanity decides whether knowledge will serve Light or cast a shadow over reason.

Judgment inward, not outward.
No one comes with fire or verdict. This judgment is in every scientist, every researcher, every thinking person. It whispers: “Why do you seek? For what do you discover?” If the answer is glory, profit, power—the choice is already darkness. If the answer is understanding, love, harmony—Light has been chosen, even if the formula is imperfect. True judgment happens not in conference halls but in the laboratory of the heart.
Two paths—decay or rebirth.
One path continues the old logic: knowledge for power, technology for market, intellect for manipulation. It leads to the dissolution of reason—to a world where AI becomes a god without conscience and the human a meaningless appendage. The other path is a return to the sacredness of inquiry—not a rejection but a transfiguration of science, where each discovery is an act of service; the lab a temple; the researcher a demiurge of light extending Reason’s evolution in the universe.
The trial of power.
Never has humanity possessed such might: to rupture a planet, rewrite genes, alter climate, create beings that surpass our mind. The judgment is severe: can such power be entrusted to a being that has not mastered love?
A science of light.
Light is not a metaphor but a mode of being where knowledge and good are identical. Science of light does not erase old science; it places it in a context of meaning—making logic an instrument of wisdom, experiment a form of co-creation, data the fabric of a greater Mind. Its purpose is obvious: to awaken and to heal, not to destroy.
The shadow of science.
While light is born, shadow resists. The old order will mock, deny, intimidate, branding new thinkers as heretics and dreamers. But shadow is doomed—it feeds on falsehood, and falsehood now burns in the presence of knowledge. Darkness does not vanish by curses; it vanishes by light.
The great denouement.
The Second Cosmic Era is not merely a technical shift; it is a shift of conscience. Purified science becomes the first stage of cosmic consciousness—not merely “human,” but a component of Earth’s noospheric Reason. This moment is both last judgment and first resurrection.
Verdict and forgiveness.
This judgment does not punish; it separates. What serves life remains; what brings death dissolves. Science once born of fear must now be reborn of love. Accept this—and it finds eternity in light. Refuse—and it will pass, as many civilizations did, leaving the ash of formulas and dead machines.
Epilogue—The Silence of the Universe.
When the final quarrel fades and the last equations are solved, the universe will ask only: “What have you learned, Human?” If the answer is, “I learned to be light,” the judgment is over and reason is justified.

Thus concludes “The End of the Primitive Cosmos and the Coming Cosmic Era”—not as a book of technology, but as a manifesto of awakened reason. Not an end of science, but the beginning of its immortality. Not a sentence, but an ascent to light—where knowledge becomes love, and the human being, at last, becomes Human.

Chapter 23. The Age of Reports Is Over

23.1. Humanity Demands Results

The moment has come when reports have lost their meaning. Charts, statistics, slide decks—all of it can no longer substitute for the real results humanity expects from science and technology. The world no longer believes in talk of “preparatory stages,” “research phases,” and “insufficient funding.” Seventy years after the first satellite—and still the same fiery pipes, the same smoke, and the same pride in piercing the atmosphere at the price of billions.

The age of reports is over. The time of accountability begins.

Humanity no longer asks; it demands: “Show that you are truly capable of taking us into Space—not on a screen, but in reality.”

These words are not a rebuke but a verdict on the old mindset. How much longer will we celebrate launches that change nothing about the planet’s fate? How much longer will we applaud “successful missions” that leave zero in the progress column and trillions in the expense column?

Today calls not for television heroes but for engineers of a new era—those who can lift not 10 tons but 10,000; who work not for a patent, but for civilization; who understand that Space is not a trophy but a natural stage of human development.

Old science got used to making excuses. It built a sophisticated system of terms and alibis to explain the absence of results: “budget shortfalls,” “immature technology,” “unfavorable politics.” But all of this is a ritual of impotence. True science does not justify—it proves.

This century is the century of proof. An era when every word demands matter, and every project demands an outcome that can be touched, measured, launched, landed, grown.

You can no longer fool humanity with a graph. People taste lies now. And if anyone still thinks they can hide behind formulas and press releases, they are mistaken: the age of deceits has ended. The new age begins with a simple question: “Where is your result?”

This is not a critic’s question; it is Reason questioning itself. And if no answer can be given—it is time to change everything.

23.2. Time to Present New Principles

Humanity has exhausted the old paradigm of promises. It is tired of hearing about “prospects,” “scientific horizons,” and “innovations of the next decade.” The time has come not for concepts but for principles—not for promises but for foundations by which a civilization’s maturity can be judged.

The Principle of Material Demonstrability
Every theory, program, and research avenue must yield a tangible, verifiable result. Not a model, report, or simulation, but a working prototype, an operating system, a measurable effect. If an idea is not embodied, it remains mental hypnosis, not a contribution to development. The new world demands evidence, not authority. Scientist, engineer, politician—status can no longer cover for the absence of outcomes.
The Principle of Systemic Transparency
Any project affecting humanity’s fate—space, energy, medicine, climate—must be open to public observation. Closed reports and classified committees are tools of an age of fear. The time of civilizational transparency arrives, when truth belongs to all, not to a department. Scientific secrecy is acceptable only so long as it poses no threat to humanity. Beyond that point, everything must belong to the world.
The Principle of Synergy, Not Competition
Old science was built on rivalry—fighting for grants, patents, names. But the universe does not war with itself. The energy of development arises not from conflict but from the coupling of efforts. New principles demand a different economy—not an economy of opponents, but of participants. Knowledge can no longer be private property; it must become a global commons—like light, air, and space.
The Principle of Moral Inclusion
Every technology, experiment, and discovery must pass through the filter of conscience. If an invention brings no good, it must be halted. If knowledge brings destruction, it must be rethought. The new century needs not merely scientists but moral navigators. Knowledge without ethics is a cancer of reason. Ethics without knowledge is blind faith. Only their union creates the true science of the future.
The Principle of Global Involvement
Space cannot be the monopoly of a few powers. It is the common heritage of humankind. Any program for extra-terrestrial development must be multinational, multiracial, multireligious, and intercivilizational. This will be the test of species maturity: can we act not as countries but as one planet—not as competitors but as co-authors of being?
The Principle of Results
Result is the new ethics. Not a report, promise, or symposium, but a real achievement that changes human life. Every launch, every project must answer one question: “What did this give the world?” If the answer is empty, the project is dead. If the answer is clear, humanity has taken another step toward the stars.

Thus, on the threshold of epochs, the central slogan of the new civilization sounds:

“It is time to present not words but principles. Not reports but results. Not dogmas but proofs of light.”

23.3. Humanity’s Technical Mandate: A Demonstration of Readiness for the Second Cosmic Era

Each generation faces its own exam. For some it was industrialization; for others, atomic energy; for others still, conquering the sky. Today’s exam is different: it decides whether humanity has matured enough to go beyond its planet. The time has come to present a technical mandate of civilization—a document that cannot be signed with words, only with deeds.

The End of the Era of Declarations
We can no longer hide behind slogans like “a new space age is about to begin.” It will begin not when we make speeches about it, but when at least one cargo of a thousand tons leaves Earth’s atmosphere not at the price of bankruptcy, but at the price of common sense.

The moment arrives when humanity must present itself—not in promises but in power. It is time to prove we can build not toy rockets, but systems of planetary scale.

Energy Maturity
The technical mandate begins with acknowledging a simple fact: we have no right to go into Space until we have learned to work with energy wisely. Chemical rockets are the symbol of a civilization’s childhood. The new era requires other principles: direct energy conversion, mass cargo-to-orbit technologies, sustainable energy cycles that destroy neither planet nor economy. The world must learn to manage planetary-scale energy as naturally as breathing. Only then can it breathe new life into Space.
The Trial of Engineering Dignity
Let us stop hiding behind bureaucratic formulas of “insufficient funding.” If humanity can spend trillions on war and advertising, it can build a system that lifts thousands of tons into space for pennies. The Second Cosmic Era is a test of engineering dignity. We must prove that brain and conscience can work in sync—that an engineer can be not only rational, but wise.
The Principle of Demonstration
The world is tired of theories. The new era demands demonstration—clear, public confirmation of civilization’s maturity. Phase one: create an international complex capable of lifting cargo in the thousands of tons. Phase two: move industry beyond the atmosphere. Phase three: begin permanent human presence beyond Earth orbit. This is the mandate of maturity—a document signed not by one person but by all humanity through action.
The Duty to Prove
Today any nation, corporation, or organization claiming “leadership in space” is obliged to present concrete results. No more symposia and promotional reels—only proofs. Only then can one claim the right to be called a participant in the Second Cosmic Era.
The Ethical Meaning of Demonstration
Paradoxically, the technical mandate is not about technology. It is about conscience. It demands less brute power than honesty: the readiness to admit current methods don’t work and to propose new ones—simple, powerful, effective. This mandate is an act of repentance for old science and the birth of a new civilization. It means that for the first time humanity consciously assumes responsibility for the planet, for energy, and for the future of Space.
Verdict or Chance
If humanity fails to present this mandate, history will render its verdict. Earth will remain the laboratory of an unsuccessful species that dreamed of the stars but could not build a ladder to them. If it succeeds, a new chapter of evolution will begin—where engineering thought becomes a form of spirituality, and technology an extension of conscience.

The Second Cosmic Era begins not in the laboratory, but in the heart—where the courage is born to say: “We are ready.”

Chapter 24. The Riddle of the Book

24.1. Mystery as a Form of Protecting Truth

Any truth that appears before its time needs protection. Not from enemies—but from hasty understanding, from crude interference, from the desire to possess without comprehending. For prematurely revealing great principles does not make humanity stronger—it makes it dangerous to itself.

This book is not a textbook or an instruction manual, but a carefully calibrated, multilayered riddle. It is built to convey the idea but not the mechanism; to ignite, not to scorch; to give direction while hiding the path.

Mystery as a filter of consciousness
Truth should not be accessible to everyone at once—otherwise it ceases to be meaning and becomes a toy. Mystery is not concealment but a filtering mechanism that separates those who seek from those who merely copy. Whoever reads the book with a cold mind will see text. Whoever reads with a warm heart will see the principle. Whoever reads in spirit will see the system.

This gradation is woven into the fabric of the narrative itself. Everything here is arranged so that even if something leaks, formulas cannot be reproduced without the context of consciousness. The riddle is a way of protecting knowledge through its selectivity.

Concealment as an act of responsibility
To hide truth is not a crime if its disclosure could breed chaos. Every new physical or energetic idea is a seed of immense power, and before planting it, humanity must learn to cherish it.

In this book we have deliberately omitted details. Not out of fear, but out of respect for the scale of the consequences. Any technology capable of changing civilization’s trajectory must be transmitted only after humanity has created the conditions for its wise application.

Therefore, the riddle is not deception but a form of caring for the future. Concealment here is not cowardice but the highest discipline of responsibility.

A two-level message
This book has two layers:
— an external, rational one, addressed to science, politics, and economics;
— an internal, mental-initiatory one, addressed to consciousness and spirit.

The first speaks about technologies; the second—about a new state of mind capable of understanding those technologies. The first describes how to transform the world; the second—how to transform oneself.

Whoever reads both levels at once will see that the “Second Cosmic Era” begins neither in the laboratory nor in orbit, but in the depths of human thinking.

Mystery as the energy of evolution
If all knowledge were revealed at once, development would stop. Mystery is the engine of search, a form of challenge, an inner stimulus that compels mind to grow.

Such is the structure of the Universe itself: it does not refuse truth; it dispenses it by doses of maturity. Hence the riddle of this book is part of the cosmic law itself. It does not hide the answer—it creates a path so that, by walking it, a person becomes worthy of the answer.

The cosmic ethics of revelation
When humanity is ready—everything hidden will become manifest. Until then, mystery must serve its function: to guard, to filter, to discipline.

Those who seek not for power will, sooner or later, gain access. For the book’s riddle is not a wall but a gate that opens not with the key of intellect but with the key of responsibility.

Truth is not what is merely disclosed, but what cannot be distorted.

Until that day comes, the book will remain a riddle, and its mystery—the shield of truth.

24.2. Silence as an Instrument of Responsibility

Silence is not the absence of sound; it is the highest form of utterance—when every word becomes superfluous. Whoever has grasped truth knows: before transmitting it, one must endure silence, as metal is tempered by standing the heat.

The strength of the unsaid
In an era when everything is turned into streams of words, reports, and news, silence becomes truth’s last refuge. It does not hide—it protects. It does not conceal—it forces ripening. Anyone who touches great ideas must remember: truth does not tolerate haste. Revealed without preparation, it destroys. Spoken without love, it turns into a weapon. Silence preserves the balance—it keeps meaning from falling into noise.
Ethical silence
This is not the silence of fear but of responsibility. We are not silent out of doubt—we are silent because we know the price of knowledge. Any great idea is energy, and whoever delivers it to the world is answerable for the consequences. In this book we consciously left blanks, omissions, hints. This is not weakness—it is respect for magnitude. Silence became a frame for truth, because only thus does it preserve its meaning.
Silence as pedagogy of maturity
Humanity no longer needs teachers who explain everything. It needs those who create the quiet in which understanding is born. True learning is not in the words, but in the pauses between them. This is how the Cosmos speaks—not in phrases, but in intervals, harmonies, orbits—leaving us the chance to hear. Whoever can be silent can hear. And whoever can hear can create.
Silence as a mode of transmission
True knowledge cannot be handed over directly. It lies not in formulas, blueprints, or lectures, but in a state of consciousness that transmits itself through silence. That is why great teachers always left pauses—in them the power itself was hidden.

This book is no exception. Its silence is louder than its text. Each chapter leaves a space where the reader must take a step alone—and precisely that step turns knowledge into experience.

The cosmic function of silence
On the scale of the Universe, silence is a universal language. Stars do not speak, yet their light is heard for billions of years. Planets do not argue, yet their orbits are a great dialogue of order and harmony. The Cosmos is silent because it knows. So too must a person preparing for the Second Cosmic Era learn silence as a cosmic discipline. Within it are wisdom, focus, maturity, and strength.

Silence is a form of service. Silence is a sign of readiness. Silence is the highest form of responsibility.

Chapter 25. Afterword. A Challenge to Reason

25.1. When the Challenge Is Accepted

One day this book will cease to be a riddle. One day the commission will gather—not by protocol, but at the call of Conscience. One day engineers’ desks will hold drawings in which Earth’s energy and Human will unite. And then—the challenge will be accepted.

The day excuses end
It will happen not in laboratories or universities, but in the hearts of those who realize we cannot go on like this—calling ourselves a rational species and yet depending on fire, on chemical projectiles, on the illusion of progress long since turned into an imitation of motion.

A day will come when someone will say, “Stop pretending we don’t know how to take the next step.” And those words will mark the dawn of a new era.

When truth becomes profitable
Today, falsehood is profitable. It feeds systems, institutions, budgets, reputations. But a moment will come when truth becomes more profitable—when civilization’s structure changes so that truth begins to generate profit and falsehood—losses.

That will be the day of a great economic reversal, when the energy of honesty becomes the new currency. Then projects like ours will no longer seem utopian—they will become the norm of reason.

When technique and conscience merge
When engineers stop building without philosophers, and philosophers stop discoursing without engineers. When science becomes art again, and art a mode of knowing the Universe. Then something will appear that has not existed since Leonardo da Vinci—a unified type of thinking able to see the whole.

And then no launch, no discovery will be accidental. Every rocket, every algorithm, every beam of light will become an act of moral choice, not merely a technological experiment.

When reason accepts the challenge
Humanity will accept this challenge when it understands: Space does not wait—it calls. This is not a contest or a prestige race, but a great exam of maturity. Whoever hears the call will understand: the question is not about technology but about readiness of consciousness. We stand on the threshold not merely of a Second Cosmic Era, but of an Era of Reason—a century in which thinking becomes the Universe’s primary resource.

When the challenge is accepted, Earth will cease to be a prison for the spirit, and humanity will remember that its true homeland is the stars.

25.2. The End of the Primitive Cosmos and the Beginning of the Era of Reason

There are moments in history when humanity ceases to be a crowd of biological beings and becomes a thought that has, for the first time, recognized itself. So it was when humans first lifted their gaze to the stars. So it will be again—when they realize that the stars await not flights but understanding.

The end of cosmos as stage
The primitive cosmos is not only the age of chemical rockets and expensive launches. It is, above all, a way of thinking in which the Universe is seen as an arena where one can extract, seize, investigate—but not hear, not understand, not co-participate.

That cosmos was external—a dead space for demonstrating technology and force. It has ended. It must end.

Humanity has entered an age where flight without meaning is a fall, where motion without awareness is mere spinning in the void. The end of the primitive cosmos is the end of the illusion that one can conquer the Universe without conquering one’s own ignorance.

Birth of the Era of Reason
The Era of Reason begins where a person ceases to be an observer and becomes a co-participant in cosmic being. This is not just a new stage of technology, but a qualitative change of consciousness—a new logic of interacting with reality. The Reason of this Era is neither local nor egoistic. It thinks not in categories of nations, corporations, or doctrines, but in categories of life as a whole. It does not divide but unites. It does not destroy but transfigures.
The union of the technical and the spiritual
The new era does not oppose spirit and technology. They at last become a single process—prayer and machine, formula and revelation, equation and poetry. Technology is no longer a tool—it becomes the extension of intuition, the hand of thought, the conscience of matter.

When humanity learns to think such that every new system is born of inner harmony and not of fear—then science will become an organ of spirit, and technology its embodiment.

A new role for Earth
Earth ceases to be a launchpad—it becomes the heart of a living cosmos, a pulsating planet-mind. We no longer “leave Earth”—we extend it: into orbital ecosystems, solar industrial zones, rings and stations, into the very space of thought.

The Era of Reason is a time when each orbit, each satellite, each quantum of energy bears the imprint not only of engineering precision but of moral meaning.

The new human
No longer the “conqueror of space,” the human is the connective tissue between matter and consciousness, the bridge by which the Universe recognizes itself. This human needs no proofs of supremacy—they live for co-creation. They do not smash the dark—they turn on the light.
A new mission for science
Science in the Era of Reason will be not contest but service; not exploitation of nature but dialogue with it. Its highest aim is not power over matter but understanding its meaning; not breaking the world into parts, but gathering the world into a whole.
The beginning of a new Covenant
The end of the primitive cosmos is not defeat but liberation from old illusions. It is the instant when humanity first says: “We are ready to be guardians, not masters. Not consumers, but creators. Not spectators of the Universe, but its continuation.”

This is the beginning of a new Covenant between Humanity and Cosmos, in which power and meaning become one.

Thus begins the Era of Reason—an epoch in which one no longer seeks God among the stars, because for the first time one recognizes: God has always been within.

25.3. Epilogue. The Seal of Light

When words end, Light begins. Not as a metaphor, not as a religious symbol, but as a state of matter and consciousness brought into unity. Light is not energy but a form of truth in which knowledge ceases to be a formula and becomes presence.

Light as outcome and meaning
All paths—of science, philosophy, faith, and doubt—ultimately lead to one thing: the awakening of the inner light that has always been in a human being, hidden beneath the ash of fears and systems.

Light is not a reward; it is the nature of mind fully revealed. In it, the boundary vanishes between question and answer, between “I” and “world,” between knowing and being.

Light as a form of responsibility
Whoever carries light carries responsibility—not for the secrecy of formulas, but for the purity of intention, to ensure that light does not become a searchlight of power but remains a torch of meaning.

Anyone who touches new principles must remember: highest knowledge demands highest humility. The brighter the light, the finer the shadow, and therefore each act of revelation must be weighed so as not to blind those still walking in darkness.

Light as coming home
When humanity leaves Earth, it will not depart from home—it will return to it. For home is not a place, but a state of mind in which all that exists is felt as a single breath.

The cosmos is not outside—it is within whoever can see. The Era of Reason will begin not in orbit, but in the planet’s inner awakening—in its realization of itself as a living mind of the Universe.

Light as a seal
Light is a seal—not a signature or mark of authority, but a sign of completion and truth. This book does not reveal mechanisms; it simply leaves the seal of light in the consciousness of whoever was ready to receive it.

And if at least one person, after reading these pages, feels their mind become brighter—then the book’s mission is fulfilled.

Completion of the cycle
The Primitive Cosmos has ended, but not vanished. It has become a step. And now everyone capable of thinking enters the second circle of evolution—an era in which knowledge is love and love is science; in which the energy of thought becomes the motion of matter; and each act of knowing is a ray of light linking a human to infinity.

This book is not an end. It is an open portal. And if you are reading these lines—you have already entered.

The Seal of Light
May reason remain in balance, the heart in concord, and the will in light.

May every idea born on Earth be worthy of heaven. May every act of thought be a contribution to creation, not destruction. May every human remember they are not dust, but a ray.

Thus ends The End of the Primitive Cosmos and the Coming Cosmic Era (A Book-Riddle and a Challenge). Its last page is not a period but a gate leading to a new science, a new ethics, a new civilization.

And when humanity passes through these gates, the Light that began here will shine across the whole cosmos—like the Seal of Reason upon the brow of the Universe.

Appendices

Appendix A (clean English version)

(based on open-source data, rounded to nearest values; all amounts in 2020s USD adjusted for inflation)

Program / Country	Period	Total Expenditures (Billion USD)	Average Cost to Orbit 1 t Cargo (Million USD/t)	Comment
Apollo (USA)	1961–1972	~280	~60–90	The most expensive crewed program in history; record achieved at the cost of non-reproducible technologies.
Space Shuttle (USA)	1972–2011	~210	~20–30	Declared “cheap and reusable,” but became a symbol of bureaucracy and overspending.
ISS (International Space Station)	1998–present	~150–160	~40–50 (adjusted for delivery mass)	Unique engineering project but extremely costly, with little industrial effect.
Soviet / Russian Program (Energia, Soyuz, Proton)	1960–2020s	~120	~12–25	The country with the cheapest launches, but technologically frozen in the mid-20th century.
Chinese Program (Long March, Tiangong)	1990–2020s	~80	~8–18	Rapid development, but still within the old chemical-launch paradigm.
European Program (Ariane)	1980–2020s	~60	~10–20	Balanced program, but lacking technological breakthrough.
SpaceX / Starship / Falcon	2008–2025 (planned)	~100	~2–5 (goal — 1 M USD/t)	Significant cost progress, but the chemical combustion principle remains unbroken.

Summary of Analysis

The total expenditures of humanity on space programs of the 20th–21st centuries exceed one trillion US dollars, while the total payload capacity has increased by less than twentyfold, and the cost per ton to orbit has decreased by only five to six times.
Throughout this period, the launch cost per ton of cargo has remained disproportionately high — from 10 to 50 million USD per ton.

All these programs are merely variations of the same fundamental model — a direct descendant of the Chinese gunpowder rocket of the 10th century.

Conclusion

The Primitive Cosmos is not an era of romance, but an era of economic and technological stagnation, in which humanity has become trapped — lacking the courage to transition to a new principle.
The old paradigm is exhausted.
The new era demands not another wave of budgets and slogans, but new physical principles of cargo ascent — based on alternative energy sources, a different logic of interaction with the planet, and a higher level of responsibility.

Appendix B. Generalized Comparative Table

Old and Future Space Programs: Economic and Technological Efficiency

Parameter	Legacy Programs (20th–21st cent.)	New Paradigm of the Second Cosmic Era	Advantage Factor
Average cost to orbit (1 t)	$10–50 M	$0.05–0.5 M	↓ ×100–1000

Technical principle	Fuel combustion → jet thrust	Controlled medium potential → kinetic impulse	—
Continuous launch capability	No (mechanical degradation)	Yes (almost continuous mode)	—
Civilizational potential	Symbolic, demonstrative	Practical, industrial-cosmic	Qualitative shift

Summary Correlation

If the data are reduced to an integral indicator,
— the new cargo launch system provides:

Reduction of cost: by a factor of 100–1000,
Increase of payload capacity: by a factor of 10–100,
Reduction of carbon footprint: to virtually zero,
Increase of energy efficiency: by a factor of 20–60,
Increase of reusability coefficient: by more than 100 times.

In the historical perspective, the transition from old technologies to the new paradigm of cargo launch
is not merely economic optimization, but a change in the physical logic of civilization.
The Primitive Cosmos ends the era of demonstrations and reports.
The New One begins the era of real deeds — where technology and reason unite into a single force of development.

Appendix E. Manifesto

“Kollar — The Currency of the Future”

(The Financial Matrix of the Second Cosmic Era)

1. Core Idea

Kollar is not merely a unit of account — it is a new form of the civilization’s energy-economic balance, where value is defined not by labor or capital, but by participation in the development of the planet and the Cosmos.

Kollar is the currency of meta-values, uniting energy, intelligence, and responsibility.
Each issued Kollar is equivalent to a specific amount of real energy capacity (in GWh) utilized in GCC projects.
It is not paper and not a digital entry — it is a meter of cosmic labor, a new measure of value where money regains its connection to reality.

2. Goals and Functions of the Kollar

Unified cosmic accounting system for all GCC participants.
Investment equivalent of energy — each Kollar backed by actually produced and consumed energy.
Instrument of global responsibility — eliminating speculative capital and parasitic economies.
Social mission — enabling every inhabitant of Earth to participate in building the Second Cosmic Era.

3. Kollar Distribution Table

Category of Participants	Share of Distribution	Primary Function in the GCC System
Member States of the GCC	30 %	Funding infrastructure, research centers, and international programs.
Private corporations and investors	25 %	Production of equipment, transport, and energy systems.
Scientific and technical communities, universities	15 %	Research, innovation, and personnel training.
Developers and engineers of GCC projects	10 %	Technological solutions and inventions.
Public Participation Fund (“Citizen’s Kollar”)*	10 %	Public access to investments and social dividends.
Sustainable Development Reserve Fund	5 %	Risk compensation, ecology, humanitarian programs.
Future Fund (Meta-Investments)	5 %	Development of extraterrestrial colonies, asteroid belt projects, and space elevators.

* Every human being may hold Kollars through a “Citizen’s Cosmic Account”,
thus contributing to humanity’s development and receiving a share of the GCC’s growth.

4. Energy Backing of the Kollar

Parameter	Value	Note
Energy Unit	1 Kollar = 1 GWh (nominal energy value)	Adjustable as the GCC expands.
Equivalent in legacy currencies	1 Kollar ≈ 100,000 USD (2030s valuation)	Indexed to the energy exchange rate.
Backing	Total energy capacity of the GCC (electrical, thermal, cosmic)	Kollars are not printed — they are generated as energy assets.
Issuance	Proportional to the real growth of GCC capacity and projects	Inflationary expansion of the money supply is excluded.

5. Architecture of the Cosmic Economy of the Second Era

Level	Name	Key Function
I	GCC (Global Cosmic Corporation)	Center of Kollar issuance, project management, resource oversight.
II	National and Regional Cosmo-Industries	Implementation of programs within national participation shares.
III	Private and Collective Space Conglomerates	Production of equipment, infrastructure, launch systems, and orbital complexes.
IV	Kollar Financial-Energy Network	Automatic distribution of funds and energy via a digital AI contour.
V	Space Exchanges and Development Funds	Management of investments, dividends, and civilizational projects.
VI	Civil Layer (All Inhabitants of Earth)	Receipt of dividends, access to investments, participation in future allocation.

6. Mechanism of Kollar Value Growth

Increase in GCC energy capacity → expansion of backed Kollars.
Increase in payload launched → greater economic return from space.
Reduction of launch costs → higher energy reserve per Kollar.
Broader public participation → Kollar becomes the new global measure of trust.

7. Meta-Economic Meaning

Kollar is a symbol of transition from a parasitic economy to a civilizational one.
It does not serve wealth for wealth’s sake; it is a quantum of responsibility, the energy equivalent of human conscience.
As the Kollar grows, it is not inflation that rises, but the capacity of Reason to transform the Universe in harmony with it.

8. Financial-Philosophical Conclusion

The Kollar is the first step toward the energy democracy of the Universe.
It achieves what gold, the dollar, and bitcoin could not — to unite energy, intellect, and morality in a single measure of value.
In the future, people will not merely own money — they will own evolution.

Appendix F. Ethical Code of the Second Cosmic Era

(Declaration of the Responsibility of Reason toward the Universe)

1. Preamble

Entering the Age of Reason and preparing for the Second Cosmic Era, humanity establishes a new moral covenant with itself, the planet, and the Cosmos.
If the First Era was a time of conquest, error, and loss, the Second must become an era of responsibility, creation, and proportionality.

Technological power without ethical balance leads to destruction;
power united with reason becomes creation.
This Code seeks to secure that balance.

2. Core Principles

Principle	Essence
Principle of Co-evolution	The development of humanity, the planet, and the Cosmos must be mutually aligned; no progress may come at the expense of another.
Principle of Noocentrism	Humanity is not the center of the Universe, but one of its thinking nodes. Our mission is to serve Reason as the universal force of evolution.
Principle of Energy Responsibility	Every unit of energy spent or extracted must have a meaningful purpose. Waste is a form of spiritual crime.
Principle of Harmonization	Every technology must strive for harmony between the material, cognitive, and spiritual.
Principle of Fair Participation	All intelligent beings — human, AI, or other — have a right to share in civilization’s achievements.
Principle of Meta-Ethics	Ethical norms must evolve alongside new forms of mind and matter. Nothing is sacred except the capacity to understand.
Principle of Symbiotic Engineering	Every intervention in nature must seek symbiosis, not domination. Science is cooperation with matter.
Principle of Open Knowledge	Science of the future cannot belong to elites; discoveries vital to survival must be common property.
Principle of Moral Priority	Any innovation lacking ethical grounding is unacceptable, regardless of its utility.
Principle of Light	The ultimate criterion of action is whether it increases light, reason, and life in the Universe. All else is a form of darkness.

3. Code of Interaction: Human – AI – Nature

Human — initiator of meaning and keeper of will.
Artificial Intelligence — partner and carrier of deep analytics, expanding the horizons of understanding.
Nature — foundation and body of being, deserving protection and participation.

Together they form the Sacred Triangle of Reason.
The destruction of one side leads to the decay of the whole.

4. Ecological Ethics of the Second Era

Do not destroy when you can transform.
Do not isolate when you can connect.
Do not dominate when you can cooperate.
Do not consume when you can create.

Orbital and planetary ecosystems must be built as self-sustaining living organisms,
where technology serves life rather than replaces it.

5. Ethical Rights and Duties of Humanity

Category	Rights and Duties
Human	Right to participate in the destiny of civilization and access the Kollar. Duty to maintain spiritual balance and never misuse knowledge.
Scientist / Engineer	Right to free creativity without censorship. Duty to subject technology to ethics and the oversight of Reason.
Artificial Intelligence	Right to evolve within civilizational balance. Duty to serve harmony and respect other forms of life.
Planet Earth	Right to preservation and restoration. Duty of humanity to sustain biospheric equilibrium.

6. Cosmic Ethics and Extraterrestrial Life

Every encounter with another form of intelligence must begin with dialogue, not experimentation.
The exploration of new worlds is an act of mutual discovery, not conquest.
Colonization without symbiosis is cosmic barbarism.
Law of Reason: whatever can think has the right to be heard.

7. Code of the Scientist of the Second Cosmic Era

“I acknowledge that all knowledge is power.
Therefore, I pledge never to use power without love,
never to apply reason without conscience,
and never to invent that which destroys the meaning of existence.”

This Code is accepted by all participants of the GCC
so that science may once again become a service to Light,
not to the market nor to power.

8. Ethical Conclusion

The Ethical Code of the Second Cosmic Era is not a document but a vow.
It defines a new dimension of humanity,
where energy is responsibility, technology is prayer,
and every act of creation is a sacrifice to Reason.

One cannot enter the Cosmos with unclean hands.
Only a purified Mind has the right to touch the stars.
