- Title
"CATASTROPHE NOISE" AS (1) A NECESSARY CONDITION FOR THE SURVIVAL OF CIVILIZATION AND (2) AN UNREMOVABLE THREAT TO ITS EXISTENCE.

- Abstract
The paper discusses the fundamental contradiction of evolution. On the one hand, evolution laws require sociums to develop, the termination of the development leads to sociums' death ("social production can exist only as expanded reproduction"). On the other hand, catastrophes (and stressful situations in general) are a driving force for development, because they stimulate evolutionary self-assemblies. That is why "catastrophe noise" is always present in the life of sociums. However, if its level is significantly higher or lower than some optimal level, the socium degrades and then perishes. To ensure their survival, sociums create special mechanisms -- war, market, and science, which generate "catastrophe noise". But sociums are not able to maintain "catastrophe noise" at an optimal level which, in principle, is incalculable. Because of the unremovable imperfection of the controlling of its "catastrophe noise", civilization will sooner or later perish due to it, if it does not perish earlier from catastrophes of external origin.
