Towards sustainable future by transition to the next level civilization

The universal and rigorously derived concept of dynamic complexity shows that any system of interacting components, including society and civilization, is a process of highly uneven development of its unreduced complexity. Modem civilization state corresponds to the end of unfolding of a big complexity level. Such exhausted, totally "replete" structure cannot be sustainable in principle and shows instead increased instability realising its replacement by a new kind of structure with either low or much higher complexity (degrading or progressive development branch, respectively). Unrestricted sustainability can emerge only after transition to the superior level of civilization complexity, which implies qualitative and unified changes in all aspects of life, including knowledge, production, social organization, and infrastructure. These changes are specified by a rigorous analysis of underlying interaction processes.
