Cultural code as a “gene” of the human factor: a cybernetic approach to the creation of social and cultural space

Objective of the study. This article presents a cybernetic approach to the concept of the cultural code as a "gene" of the human factor, revealing its morphology and functions in the formation of the socio-cultural space. The main thesis is that a person and his "chosenness" should be perceived not as exclusivity, but as responsibility for transforming reality through a system of cultural codes designated as codes of anthroposocioculturogenesis. The concept of the DNA helix of culture is introduced, which is a mechanism that identifies and constructs cultural genesis. Important functions of this spiral are the encoding and decoding of information, as well as the activation of human creative abilities through cultural "genes". The proposed model considers cultural codes as functional regulators that form both individual potential and the structure of socio-cultural systems. Methodological basis of the study is based on an interdisciplinary approach, including systems analysis, cultural cybernetics and anthropological research. Methods of system, semiotic and semantic analysis and modeling are used in the work. Results of the study. To date, a systematic model of the cultural code has been developed as a regulator of individual and social processes. Within the framework of modeling, the mechanisms of activating human creative abilities through the "spirals" of cultural DNA have been identified. It is shown that cultural codes, acting as regulators, contribute to the formation of flexible mechanisms of human adaptation in the socio-cultural space, which is especially important in conditions of rapid social and technological development. As a result, the hypothesis is confirmed that the cultural code is not a metaphor, but a real semiotic structure capable of launching and constructing the processes of cultural genesis at the level of personality and society. Prospects of the study. This work can contribute to the expansion of the interdisciplinary base by integrating data from neuroscience, epigenetics, anthropology, political science, cultural cybernetics and cultural studies. This will make it possible to better understand the mechanisms of interaction between biological and cultural factors, as well as to develop new models of management and development of socio-cultural systems based on the concept of the cultural code as a "gene" of the human factor. Further disclosure of this topic and concept requires new interdisciplinary research combining the achievements of social and natural sciences, which will allow for a more complete understanding of the mechanisms of human potential formation and its role in socio-cultural development.
