  • Abstract
    This presentation is based on the first reaction of the world famous systems theory scientists and researchers to the global events on our earth (starting with the contemporary banking crisis and finishing with the global environmental and marine systems catastrophes, which recently have shaken or are still threatening to shake the whole world). Comments on the events dealt with political, social and systems control theory aspects. The global management of world marine ecosystem, economy and social system was considered as SoC-the system of communities aiming a maximal profit instead of rational efficiency. Such an approach was based on a certain institutionalization of a global greed. On the other hand the environmental and marine systems are presented as a stochastic set of interdependent world-vide information and control systems considered as SoS-the system of systems, having no instruments (neither fundamental theory nor tools) able to cope with the current critical situation. The old and perfectly developed control theory with its well-known stability criteria is not adequate to the phenomenon of the contemporary world´s realities. New approach is proposed, adequate to the global arrangements and interdependence of actors in the contemporary world system of systems: 1) consideration of a new type of information-fuzzy knowledge-based data; 2) development of an extended independent space-time world coordinate system; 3) introduction and inclusion into the theory of a very important feature, such as anisotropy of our world´s structure. These three aspects up till now were neglected by the general systems theory, and this negligence coused society´s scientific impotence in the presence of the crises. So, a new branch of general systems theory is under development now; its name-GFSCT-general fuzzy systems control theory, and it is taking into account all three approaches mentioned above. In this presentation is emphasized also that the new theory, as well as wor- - ld´s community political will, is crucial for our future.
