Summary/Abstract: What happens to certain objects, concepts, customs, research areas, sciences, etc. which evolve civilizationally, progressively, ascensionally, generationally, vectorially, on each of the levels of human development, where do they find appreciation and financial encouragement to be cultivated and privileged? The music field, the code of good manners, the food industry and its gastronomic complement, among them, and information technology (IT), with its cybernetic extension... What if one day, one of these “explodes” exponentially, epistemologically and ontologically, irremediably transforming culture and civilization in a way never before seen and impossible to intuit until then? You will tell me that it would no misfortune if Mozart will be more than his current, immense legacy, even if in that negative utopia not only the sweets will bear his name, but also the rest of the benches in the park, and the subway will it have a shape vaguely reminiscent of the shape of his powdered wigs?! Is it possible to outline such an imminent transubstantiation? What might happen if information technology reached its unexpected peak, not yet calculated by any existing supercomputer? The history of culture tells us that, traditionally, it would spread across the globe, after which its influence would diminish and adjust conveniently (I don't give the most convenient example, religion). What does IT lack, however, to become independent, because it possesses all the avatars of a state of the art (including the rechargeable battery for eternity), apart from a consciousness, individualization, uniqueness... Or are all these already at their place?
