In the first world-understanding, measure (Russian “mera”) and matrix are different words for the same objective phenomenon. And if one understands God’s Predetermination of Life as a multidimensional matrix of possible states of all matter in the Universe, then some portion of the matrix — God’s Predetermination — is accessible to the human sense of measure (sense of proportion). Accordingly, any attentive and good-willed human, who is given from Above the ability to distinguish (discriminate) cause-effect chains of his own life and the circumstances around him, perceives the manifestation of God’s Providence as Hierarchically Highest All-enclosing control, and is thus able to and strives to act in harmony with God, within the course of His Providence based on the individual’s own sense of measure.

The second worldview may be called “I-centric”, or ego-centric. In its essence, it is either completely atheistic, lifting human to the level of God or conqueror of Nature, or arrives at pantheism, equalizing the Universe with God, and accepting that not everything in Nature can be controlled by humanity. But in either case this worldview insists that the Universe, the Earth and its biosphere and humanity have somehow “self-created” (but even then the unconscious of adherents of this worldview generates the question: “from what?”) either as a result of an explosion (again a question: “of what?”) or as a result of lengthy evolution (again: “of what?”).

Such a worldview also has the property of perceiving the objective reality as a collection of unconnected accidental facts or coincidences, processes and phenomena, the constantly changing multitude of combinations of which determines for them the evolutionary development of the universe, happening “by itself” in accordance with the discovered and still undiscovered laws of nature. This is a result of the fact, that the invisible for the atheist cause-effect chains between different (from the atheist’s point of view) phenomena, in which directly manifests the Hierarchically Highest all-enclosing control of the Almighty, are considered as objectively “non-existent”: everything that the individual cannot perceive directly is by many considered as objectively non-existent.

Such a worldview places at the center of the universe (be it unconsciously) either the person and his limited capabilities, or the laws of nature, having discovered which the person begins to see himself as the “crown” of nature. But “I-centrism” stays “I-centrism” independent of the breadth of his horizons: “If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants”, said Isaac Newton.

And due to lack of understanding of their own atheism, adherents of “I-centrist” worldview perceive the strive to comprehend the one God and His Providence for his creation as opposing the strive to cognize the laws of nature.

In orders (arrangements) of mutually nested matrices of Objective reality, specific matrices could be identified and distinguished, each of which may predetermine the flow of characteristically different processes: physical, biological, social. Matrices determining the flow of exclusively social processes, are of particular interest for the fate of the society, since alteration of such matrices is direct or indirect alteration of fate of peoples, civilizations and humanity as a whole.

In both worldviews described earlier, a “matrix” plays the role of a program of a multi-optional algorithm, within the course of which humanity develops its culture[6]. Under the influence of culture, in which grows a person possessing some genetic potential of development, conscious habits and unconscious behaviour automatisms are produced, as well as a person’s opinions on phenomena in his internal and external world. Unconscious automatisms of mental activity are a dominant of internal and externally observable behaviour of a person in the objective reality, and are due to limited capabilities of the human concious: to simultaneously hold no more than 7-9 objects or processes, and digest information at a rate not higher than 15-16 bits per second[7] in a normal state of wakefulness.

Sometimes (like in a number of works by L.N. Gumilev on ethnogenesis) these unconscious automatisms are called “stereotypes”. Their essence could be consciously identified and classified as “good” or “evil” in certain life circumstances. Uncertainty of behaviour stereotypes and undetermined relation to various phenomena of the Objective reality, as well as unwillingness to determine their ethical essence “good — evil” in relation to God’s Providence, is one of the main signs of the fact, that the life of humanity flows in a course of some anti-human matrix. This matrix forms a certain type of culture, the anti-human essence of which is protected by its owners from being identified with various direct and indirect taboos on perception of it. Such stereotypes create internally conflicting algorithms of mental activity of individuals and the society as a whole, which manifests in various mental and psychosomatic illnesses, high accident rates, traumas, and other troubles, intrinsic to the lifestyle of the current civilization.

That is why it is not only possible, but vitally necessary to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of any particular matrix, and the culture created by it[8]. The exit from one matrix inevitably means transfer to another matrix with a different type of culture.

Accordingly, there exists a type of power, not seen by traditional politology and, therefore, laying outside of its understanding, which is nevertheless inseparably connected to processes, which take place in the world (reality) of matrices-predeterminations. Firstly, it is a subordination of the society to some matrix or some group of matrices. Secondly, it is a power over the society of those, who are capable of destruction, transformation and creation of previously non-manifested particular matrices, that predetermine the life of societies within the All-enclosing Matrix — God’s Predetermination.

If the content of such a matrix is described, this description becomes a conception of life of the society — a certain ideal and a set of means, by which this ideal could be brought into life. Accordingly, power based on control of matrix processes has been called the conceptual power by us for many years.

It should be understood that a conception of life of the society is not an ideology. Ideology is not always an expression of a conception, but is one of the means of implementing a conception into life. In the human history, all of the most sophisticated slavery systems were covered by ideologies of freeing people from oppression and exploitation. But slavery was still the essence of those conceptions which, while being covered by ideological systems of freedom, have remained the same for many centuries and also managed to changed several ideological shells. A conception of life of a society is not its acting legislation or legislative projects. Any legislation is only the border- or frontlines, at which one conception protects itself from implementation in the same society of another one, incompatible with the first.

But if someone has assumed, that the Internal Predictor of USSR has secretly decided to tie the notion of “conceptual power” with what the movie “The Matrix” has revealed to its participants, then they should look-up the works of IP USSR “Dead Water” (in all editions from 1991 to present), to the unfinished work “Towards the Kingdom of God on Earth” and should read, what is stated there directly and unambiguously about matrices-predeterminations and about the conceptual power; stated not in a figurative form of fictional film, which every person will understand in their own way.
