are functions of the indicator depending on which their behavior can be antag-

onistic, indifferent or cooperative. The main goal of the subsystem H consists in
reaching a high standard of living ensuring a long comfortable life. The goal and
behavior of the subsystem N is determined by objective laws of co-evolution. In
this sense, a division between N and H is conditional, and it can be interpreted as a
division of a multitude of natural processes into controlled and non controlled. It is
clear that with the growing population density, natural disasters will intensify the
feeling of discomfort, affecting the social and cultural conditions in many regions.
Without dwelling upon philosophical aspects of this division, we shall consider
the systems H and N symmetrical in a sense of their description given above, and
open. Here the system H disposes of technologies, science, economic potential,
industrial and agricultural productions, sociological arrangement, size of the pop-
ulation, etc. The process of interaction of the systems H and N leads to a change of
ʷ

ʷ

, whose level affects the structure of vectors H and H. Really, there is a threshold
ʷ max , beyond which humankind stops existing, and nature survives. The asymmetry
of subsystems H and N in this sense causes a change of the goal and strategy of the
system H. Apparently, under present conditions, interactions of these systems

g !
g max take place rather rapidly, and therefore some elements of vector H can be
attributed to the class of the cooperative. Since the present socio-economic structure
of the world is represented with a totality of states, a country should be considered a
functional element of the system H. The function ects the result of

interaction of countries between themselves and with nature. A totality of the results
of these interactions can be described by the matrix B ¼

Many theories have been dedicated to studies of the laws of interactions of
complicated systems of various origins. In the asymmetrical case considered here, it
is a question of the survival of the system H and an attempt to

nd a means to assess
the future dynamics of the system N. According to Podlazov (2001), the re fl exive

behavior of H will help humankind, eventually, to find a behavioral pattern “ able to

weight pro ts and danger, to understand principal limitations of our capabilities, and

to feel new threats in due time

. As Chernavsky (2004) notes, a human being is
versatile, and knowledge of this synergetic capability will make it possible in future
to describe the system H

N bearing in mind all social peculiarities in their vari-
ability, observing the boundaries of integral mentality of human society. Mecha-
nisms of self-organization and self-regulation of natural systems determines the
complexity of this method (Ivanov-Rostovtsev et al. 2001). Of course, deep semantic
and philosophical notions of personal architectonics, which should have been taken
into account when forming the model of vitality, at the present level of formalized
description of intellect remain beyond feasibility of present ecoinformatics.
