From a theoretical point of view, the narrow "neck" of exchange (Fig. 1), which arose as a result of negative selection, represents the emergence of a systemic integrity created by people with the help of dialectically connected economic or any other relations. Dialectical logic made it possible to link the exchange of the results of economic activity between dialectical pairs of participants with a structure-forming principle or with a system formation. From this moment, the arisen system integrity acquires the ability both for self- organization and for self-development. In other words, human organizations as systemic entities become self- sufficient due to the fact that dialectically related elements are mediated by structural connections that are constantly renewed, stable and unchanged. From a philosophical point of view, the structure of the system embodies "the principle, method, law of the connection of elements within the systemic whole" (Sheptulin, 1975, 1978). In other words, the dialectical laws are implemented through structural connections of exchange participants, regulating their changes. Further research of systemic integrities in the sphere of human activity led the authors to the conclusion that the change in the structure of the system under the influence of the dialectical laws of its self-movement makes it possible to distinguish two qualitatively different states of it. In the process of self- organization, the system becomes more complex by generating a hierarchy of structural levels that are vertically linked by cause-and-effect relationships (Pilipenko, 2020). While the higher levels in the structural hierarchy solve the problems of lower structural levels of the system, the latter remains stable, although its fragility as the integrity increases. The specificity of the self-organization of the system due to the generation of new levels by the structure is associated with the reproduction of direct and feedback connections by them, i.e. the system becomes more complex due to additional structural levels (Arthur, 2013), repeating and not changing qualitatively. It is about the stage of self- organization, a system that is in a static state, changing only organizationally, becoming more complex through the generation of new dialectically interacting structural links (levels). At the same time, the dialectical law of unity and struggle of opposites operates at the horizontal level of the structure, and the generation of new structural levels occurs under the influence of the law of the transition of quantitative changes into qualitative changes (Fig. 2, time intervals t0 – t1 and t1 – t2). However, everything has its limits. This is also true for the self-organization of the system in its static state. As for its transformation into a dynamic system, this dialectical leap is realized through the dialectical negation of its own static state. It becomes possible because the system in statics and the system in dynamics represent two forms of its self-movement which are dialectically interconnected: the dynamics of the system cannot be without statics, and statics is intended to form conditions for its dynamic state. This is because the structural complication of a static system objectively leads to an increase in its fragility (Taleb, 2007, 2012). The shock transformation of the hierarchical structure is associated with a change in the cause-and-effect relationships of structural levels from upwards to downwards causation process (Hodgson, 2002). Then, instead of strengthening the integrity of the system, it is destroyed. This is the result of the operation of the law of negation of negation, which consistently destroys both the structural levels of the effect and the structural levels of the causes that generated them in the previous static system. This is the limit of a self- organizing system. With the destruction of the structure, the point of no return is left behind, the direct and reverse structural interdependencies have been destroyed, and the system acquires the qualities of a dynamic one. The content of such a state of the system is due to the fact that only dialectically complex elements remain from the previous system, which will rebuild structural connections and dialectical interdependencies (Fig. 2, time interval t2 – t3). Actually, this theoretical fragment describes the essence of the future post-covid reality, the specificity of which today is complete uncertainty. According to G.W.F. Hegel (1892, 1967) self- organization and self-development of systems could be treated as characteristics of the objective world. They are inherent in all systemic integrities. With this approach, self-development should be understood as endless changes in the system as a whole, including certain stages (of self-organization) of structural complication of an unchanging system. In other words, it is only about changes in the "left to itself" systemic integrity in the economy, society or technology. The complexity of the above construction is due to the fact that it deals with such dialectically interrelated categories as static economics and dynamic one, as well as self-organization of static economy and self- development of dynamic economy. This list should be continued by including two dialectical laws (of unity and struggle of opposites and of transition of quantitative changes into qualitative ones), which are related to each other as dialectical pairs of phenomena. Likewise, the dialectic of the law of double negation is manifested in its unity with the laws operating in a self-organizing system and in their complete negation in a dynamic system. As a result, the economy appears as the integrity in its two forms of manifestation - in statics and in dynamics.
