Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to descriptive deconstruction methods of socioenergy balance, whichare used or can be used in economic disruption of the adversary (competitor).The main research problemis: what methods of socioenergetic imbalance can be legitimately distinguished from the cybernetic pat-tern of an autonomous system? The following hypothesis is an attempt to solve the research problem:from the cybernetic model of an autonomous system, one can reasonably derive methods of disruptingthe socio-energetic equilibrium by interfering with the circulation of information, control processes, andenergy distribution within social systems, which leads to the destabilization of decision-making structures,disorganization of goals, and disruption of feedback loops essential for the system’s selfregulation andadaptation. The considerations are based on the strategy of theory prior to research and the classicalmethod of inference, analogy, opposites and completeness. The authors uses the terminological conventionsfound in the theory of autonomous systems/processes, information logic, the theory of action systems.The adversary’s disruption is carried out in two main stages, the first: recognition of the object to be destroyed (passive and active), and the second: proper disruption, which consists of direct and indirectdisinformation and proper disorganization (indirect and direct). As a concretization of the direct disor-ganization method, administrative measures (embargoes) and measures based on trade policy (customsduties) are used. Indirect disorganization involves the disruption of economic norms that determine whatis economically beneficial to society and the methods of achieving such benefits. The present paper fitsinto this current of deliberation and metatheoretical search. It is a promising research direction, whichcomplemented by detailed and monodisciplinary knowledge, can improve and deepen the knowledge ofsecurity, its essence, manifestations and possibilities of exercising.
