“…According to the DTI approach, main goal of any human being is ''generation, securing and propagation of the person's own conventional information'' (Chernavskii, 2000(Chernavskii, , 2004Haken, 2000). It should be stressed that the notion ''conventional information'' means not the objective data, but the notions accepted in the given society.…”

“…At the same time, since information is generally accepted as one of three basic substances of the world (matter, energy, and information), this term is generally valid, which presumes the need for its unified definition. As a general scientific definition of information in natural sciences, preference is given to the following definition [29,30]: "information is the stored choice of one version from several possible and equal versions" by virtue of its intelligibility, constructivity, and acceptability for both natural and human sciences, which also allows for the introduction of a measure, namely, the amount of information. The most important property of living systems is their ability to store, use, and develop information.…”

The author considers the disciplinary structure and the structure of the organizational management of science, hierarchy of the structure of reality, and questions of the evolution of nature and its components. The essence of the logic of the nature evolution process is shown to be the continuous creation and selection of ne w structures in the hierarchy of reality in the context of direct and reverse interlevel transmission of results of creation and also the inflow of matter, energy and/or information from the outside. It is obvious that it is this logic that must form the basis of the evolution of progressive intelligent systems and that the information support of scientific investigations must be adequate to the structure of the hierarchy of reality.Keywords: disciplinary structure of science, transdisciplinarity, global evolutionism, hierarchy of the structure of the world, evolution of information, functioning of knowledge and problems in society.

Motivated by recent developments impacting our view of Fermi's paradox (absence of extraterrestrials and their manifestations from our past light cone), we suggest a reassessment of the problem itself, as well as of strategies employed by SETI projects so far. The need for such reevaluation is fueled not only by the failure of searches thus far, but also by great advances recently made in astrophysics, astrobiology, computer science and future studies, which have remained largely ignored in SETI practice. As an example of the new approach, we consider the effects of the observed metallicity and temperature gradients in the Milky Way on the spatial distribution of hypothetical advanced extraterrestrial intelligent communities. While, obviously, properties of such communities and their sociological and technological preferences are entirely unknown, we assume that (1) they operate in agreement with the known laws of physics, and (2) that at some point they typically become motivated by a meta-principle embodying the central role of information-processing; a prototype of the latter is the recently suggested Intelligence Principle of Steven J. Dick. There are specific conclusions of practical interest to astrobiological and SETI endeavors to be drawn from coupling of these reasonable assumptions with the astrophysical and astrochemical structure of the spiral disk of our Galaxy. In particular, we suggest that the outer regions of the Galactic disk are most likely locations for advanced SETI targets, and that sophisticated intelligent communities will tend to migrate outward through the Galaxy as their capacities of information-processing increase, for both thermodynamical and astrochemical reasons. However, the outward movement is limited by the decrease in matter density in the outer Milky Way. This can also be regarded as a possible generalization of the Galactic Habitable Zone, concept currently much investigated in astrobiology.
