ANNOTATION:
Selfpreservation issues
The system "human" includes some subsystems called "instincts"
in order to preserve the physical existence of the system.
During the system transition to the "super-brain", the control
system may limit the freedom of his subsystems in order to achieve
higher freedom level for the whole system. Thus, the system
transition may result to a system unable to preserve his
physical existence.
We may expect an evolution process, where many system transitions
to "super-brains" will be needed before a stable, able to
self-preserve system comes up.
This process may be even more delayed if we think about what the
impact of the "death" of the "super-brain" on his subsystems
will be.
I would like to hear some comments about this issue - has it
been discussed before, and if yes are there any pointers to
related documents ?

I think you are correct to believe that there will be a sequence of mst in the development of any complex structure. This continues the trajectory of history. Post-historical implies an MST at a whole scale such as a globe, at which point this new entitiy makes artifice at a new scale, and thus a new scale of MST..as when the world organism begins to design planets.
