Transdisciplinary convergent approach - human factor

Abstract

The article is devoted to the systemic problems of the study of the human factor, which are associated with the cognitive aspects of human-computer interaction. The rapid development of mathematical modeling has created systemic problems of safety, control and forecasting of the functioning of dynamic transport systems in difficult conditions. The accumulation of latent contradictions and interdisciplinary conflict are the main reasons for the systemic complexity of the problems of education and science, which have increased the importance of the human factor. The main goal of the work is to further develop a convergent approach to studying the problems of the safety of the human factor on a transdisciplinary basis. The key reason for systemic security problems and the manifestation of the human factor is self-organized criticality, the manifestation of which in information transmission lines causes nonlinearity and instability of fractal signals of various natures. The work establishes a connection between the transitional functional states of a person with the individuality of his cognitive activity. A toolkit for identifying induced spatial and temporal inhomogeneities of information transmission media, which generate hidden spatio-temporal relationships at different scale levels, is proposed. These interconnections are determined by the individuality of the cognitive graphic images of fractal and multifractal signals of various natures. The creation of a knowledge base of cognitive graphic images of the dynamic structure of fractal and multifractal signals of various nature will allow finding solutions not yet available to the brain and computer separately. The application of the transdisciplinary convergent approach and tools based on it to electrophysiological signals of a human operator demonstrates advantages and new possibilities. In particular, revealing hidden spatio-temporal relationships that determine the manifestation of human factor in difficult conditions. The innovative potential of the convergent approach to training and forecasting activities of operators (pilot, dispatcher, etc.) is being discussed.
