A Sophisticated World

Summary/Abstract: The emergence of innovation and novelty associated with global transformations has impacted the evolution paths throughout history. Because of that, the world transformations can be understood through persistent framings that arise from Industrial Revolutions and minimization of spatiality. From a historical perspective, two established desktops are identified in persistent framings as dominant in the evolution of the international system and which make the distinction between global transformations and systemic transitions. First, what actor's experiences in history due to space reduction, much of it resulting from increasing interaction intensity. The second frame emerges from the world reconfiguration based on new hierarchies. Yet, a particular frame in world evolution is identified in transformative changes in space structuration. This perspective describes the historical stages that request a cultural rethinking of the world as an act of social and political resilience to modernity. In this presentation, we discussed the transition from complex to sophistication as a certain consequence of world transformations. As a syntax, ”a sophisticated world” refers to a supra-merging of spatiality. Through that, the syntax of “sophisticated world” mentions: a) a transcendence of international environments and structures; b) compression of the socio-cultural framework to a point that induces ubiquity; and c) the gap between the coherence of evolutionary explanations and logic of transformation. Finally, the syntax “a sophisticated world” is about the world's tendency to assemble into a dense and compact organizational model where the sense of the classical philosophies are dissolved into the size of information fields. This new character of the world is examined to identify its key features and its potential to address the open issues about the redescription of evolutionary patterns.
