The prospective evolution of social networks from the perspective of neurophenomenology
Abstract
The purpose of the present article is to identify neurophenomenological aspects that influence the future development of social networks and to develop a corresponding concept of regulatory policy. The following methods are used in the article: collection and analysis of information, modeling of a conditional social network, systematization and separation of neurophenomenological factors, determination of functional dependencies, development of analytical conclusions and proposals. It was established that instigators and a favorable environment of social networks form prerequisites for the spread of negative information campaigns (conditional attacks). At the same time, it is mathematically proven that with minimal development of resistance to information attacks among users of social media platforms, the potential for stabilizing the information environment of social networks and promoting sustainable advancement of natural society was determined. Based on the research results, it was determined that fostering critical thinking skills, maintaining information stability, and practicing sound personal digital hygiene among users are key factors in upholding the overall stability of social networks. Additionally, these practices promote sustainable development of a psychologically healthy community. Additional investigations are focused on elaborating the notion of regulatory policy to facilitate the prospective advancement of social networks.
