On the Future of Civilization in the Era of the Fourth Technological Revolution
IV. The Birth of the Hypothesis of Life “Above Chaos”
Throughout history there have always been “islands of resilience” — monasteries, universities, city-states. Today, such an island can and should appear on a global scale. We have named it Sanctum. It is a network of autonomous residences united by digital identity and a shared ethic. It is not a piece of real estate, but the infrastructure of a new way of being.
Each residence operates like an element of a living system: it adapts to the climate, adjusts to the habits of its inhabitants, and stores autonomous supplies. When relocating, the home “remembers” the owner’s preferred temperature, music, and everyday preferences.
Artificial intelligence manages security and comfort. A services marketplace takes care of routine needs: logistics, services, healthcare, education. The jurisdictions chosen for the network offer simplified entry and legal protection. Access to the system is determined not by passport, but by contribution: intelligence, capital, values.

V. Who Rises Above the Chaos
The residents of such a network are rational optimists. They are not fleeing from the world — they are creating an alternative model of survival. They do not try to fight — they integrate with the flow.
These are entrepreneurs with global businesses, scientists constrained by national bureaucracies, investors who diversify risks not by currencies but by systems of coordinates.
They form “tribes by meaning”: communities united by the idea and mission to advance progress for the benefit of civilization, to prevent it from stalling or transforming into a monster that feeds only on victims thrown into its mouth.
Their principle is not to fight chaos, but to adapt to it. Their lives are a continuous movement through the network’s orbit: from Singapore to Zurich, from Lisbon to Dubai.

VI. Sanctions Against Entropy
Every technological revolution gives birth to a new class and a new architecture of resilience.
Today this class is mobile rationalists who invest resources not in luxury, but in sustainability.
They do not seek a flag, but a system where they can continue to create value independently of political cycles. For them, Sanctum is not a refuge, but a superstructure: a layer of reality where new rules of autonomy, privacy, and purpose apply.

VII. After the Storm
Signs of a new civilization are already noticeable:
— a person who chooses the quiet of meaning instead of the noise of news;
— an entrepreneur building long-term solutions instead of short-term speculation;
— a parent who values awareness over isolationist “safety.”
Sanctum is not a place, but a direction. The city above the storm is already being built in the minds of those who choose creation over panic. And perhaps it is at the intersection of technology, ethics, and architecture that a new chapter of human history will begin.

“This is not utopia and not an escape, but a conscious attempt to see a new layer of civilization where autonomy, meaning, and technology are united into a sustainable space. Life above chaos is not utopia and not fantasy. It is a mirror of what is born when the minds of progressives are tired of reflecting on shocks and choose to create regardless of anything!”
