2. Metapotentialist theory

2. Metapotentialist theory (from the Greek. Meta-after, through, from the Latin. Potentia - power, opportunity) - sees the essence of genius in his striving and gift for the discovery of new content spaces and the expansion of life horizons, in the ability to build new worlds and wholeness , to create new semantic measurements and plowing the boundaries of possibilities.
According to this theory, a genius appears as the discoverer of new worlds, systems and entities, as a demiurge and creator of realities of a fundamentally new type, as a creator of new world pictures, paradigms and creative methods, as the founder of fundamentally new disciplines of concepts in science, original directions and styles in art, as the founder of empires, cities, new scientific schools, movements and parties.
Genius - the discoverer breaks into new, previously unexplored spheres, goes beyond the limits of being, bravely takes off over the usual and ordinary. He not only improves actual reality, but creates new worlds, not only effectively solves problems, but seeks and formulates new ones, not only realizes the existing goals, but sees and identifies those that no one has yet known. It is distinguished by the fundamental novelty of ideas, the revolutionary discoveries and the historical scale of accomplishments, which lead to upheavals in science and art, to the discovery of new eras and plowing up spaces and horizons.
At the heart of the creative achievements of the genius-discoverer lies the painful experience of the limitations and incompleteness of current and famous worlds, the dizzying awareness of semantic infinity, abundance and dynamic inexhaustibility of the Universe. At the same time, its existence is filled with the call of mysterious limits and is drawn by the attracting lines of new horizons. A genius mentally creates a harmonious whole, and then fills it, awakening new properties in it, hidden potencies and opportunities, boldly expands the framework and gives freedom to its actions, lays the foundation and then builds a building, recognizes a beautiful girl in a marble clump, and then cuts off all unnecessary . Geniuses discoverers, - writes A.V. Shuvalov, - they change the boundaries of their mental reality, go beyond the existing culture, enriching it, thereby expanding the experience of mankind.
Metapotentialist theory asserts that the essence of genius consists not so much in the maximum full realization of all internal and external possibilities, as in the search and creation of qualitatively new, invisible from the position of an actual figure, opportunities. At the same time, the genius is proficient in the art of “obsolescence” of reality, and his interaction with the world unfolds along the path of increasing the degrees of possible with respect to existing being (M. Epstein)
V. Frankl stressed the limitations of the “potentialist” approach, which implies the deployment, actualization of the innate potential of the individual. If a person makes self-realization by his intention, he loses himself - wrote V. Frankl, - “the point is not in the realization of any possibilities, but, on the contrary, in the realization of the need — the only thing that is needed at the moment. The point is to strive every time not for the possible, but for the due. ” True existence is possible only in the process of overcoming oneself, in entering the world of a substantially larger and richer human being.
In this case, A.N. Leont'ev noted the evolution of the “potentiality” paradigm of humanistic psychology, based on the actualization of innate potential, towards an existential theory regarding the very existence of man as a “transcendental opportunity” (N. Abbaniano) and a project of one’s own capabilities (M. Heidegger, J.P.Sartre). So A. Maslow in his latest works as a central feature of a self-actualizing person put forward the concept of the mission of the individual, dedicating himself to some significant and worthwhile cause to which a person feels a vocation. There may be other ways in other cultures, but in Western culture this is the only way. "All the happy people I knew were people who worked well on something that they thought was important."
Following M. Heidegger, N. Abbaniano considered the possibility as the most important existential of being. At the same time, he believed that the opportunities themselves are unequal, and the true is the one that is constantly being consolidated in its being, that is, the possibility of the opportunity itself or the "transcendental opportunity." Opportunity is always an openness to the future, it acts not as a potentiality that must inevitably be realized, but as a method of searching.
The fundamental difference between the "potentialist" and metapotentialist "theories of genius" is in the position, in the location of the center of vision and understanding, which can be found in the field of relevance, problem and deficit, and in the space of successful results, ideal opportunities and abundance. From the point of view of the actualistic approach, - says A.G. Dugin - opportunity itself is understood "as under-reality, as a level of quasi-reality that has not yet" taken place "," has not come true. The essence of the category of opportunity can be understood only in a broader poten- tialist paradigm, in which the metaphysical emphasis is not on relevance (reality) , but on potentiality (possibility). At the same time, possibility is ontologized, and all being, all reality is concentrated in the possible. “Actualism,” writes A.G. Dugin, “is a dungeon of the soul, an actualistic monocosm of education creative ability exists kosmotvorchestva Where the soul is freedom, it is not just faced with other worlds like with other relevant, it becomes much more profound and substantial capacity -. it can update itself new worlds. "
Feeling an irresistible desire and thirst for finding new opportunities for geniuses, pioneers, pioneers, ancestors, founders and founders realize their desires and inner imperatives in several ways:
1. Searches for and discovers new lands, continents and satiated spaces with qualitatively new possibilities.
2. Creates new integral systems, models, concepts and realms of reality, independent worlds, self-sufficient, organic structures capable of self-compositing, self-development and generating new opportunities.
3. Creates virtual, gaming, fictional realities, new possible worlds and draws out, freely use their fundamentally new, unexpected and self-revealing possibilities.
4. Potentiates, “realizes” actual worlds and real objects, seeks out, opens up their endless, hidden opportunities, gives them new potencies by changing the positions of perception and creative, game manipulation of their qualities and forms. At the same time, he is not only able to see what is relevant in some new light, but also to distinguish and intuitively grasp something deep and fundamentally new.

1. Geniuses are pioneers and discoverers.
Leif Ericson, the Norwegian navigator and ruler, who was the first European in about 1000, visited North America, the genius discoverer of new lands and continents, the valiant explorers who expanded the boundaries of the universe, Marco Polo, the first Venetian traveler from Europe who studied 1271-1295 The years of Inner Asia, Christopher Columbus, who discovered America (New World) in 1492, Vasco da Gama is a Portuguese explorer, the first European who made a voyage to Asia, Amerigo from 1497-1499 Vespucci-Italian, whose name was named America (the name was suggested in 1507 in a book describing his travels and mentioned on a general geographical map in 1520), Fernand Magellan, who made the first known world tour (1520-1522), James Cook, who led three round-the-world expeditions to explore the world’s ocean in 1768 -1779.
At the same time, the internal source of the movement of the geniuses of the discoverers to new lands, as is clearly seen in the example of Columbus, was rather not the instinct of freedom or the desire to overcome borders, but, to a greater extent, the search for new opportunities and often quite real material wealth and resources.

2. Ancestors of independent spheres of culture , fundamentally new scientific disciplines, trends and styles in art, founders of religions, concepts and institutions.
The geniuses of the pioneers include those great personalities who initiated the development of new content spaces, the most important spheres of culture, which were the founders of world and national literature, music and painting schools and trends.

2.1. Demiurges and cultural heroes. The term ancestor has more fundamental semantic connotations and relates to demiurges (from the Greek. Dnmioyrgos - artisan, master, creator), mythological cultural heroes and common ancestors.
EAT. Miletinsky, to a greater extent based on the philosophy of Neo-Platonists and Gnostics, believed that demiurges appear in the images of gods, creators of the world, in two ways: by making — like the Egyptian god Khnum, who created the world and people on the potter's wheel and through ideal magical transformations — like the Egyptian Ptah, who creates the world "with the tongue and the heart" or by verbal naming.
Demiurge, - considers Е.М. Miletinsky, they make objects that had never existed before, and in this sense it is comparable to a cultural hero, acting, as a rule, as an assistant to a supreme deity, discovering and mining what already exists, but has been removed and hidden. A cultural hero is a mythical or real character, a great creator and explorer with magical powers, initiated by a higher power. Cultural heroes are courageous, courageous and resourceful, possess supernatural creative power, but at the same time they are not sacral and live in real worlds and ages. Their mission is the invention, creation and getting for people of such cultural goods as fire, tools, language and writing, as well as the formation of social organizations and training people in crafts and arts. Cultural heroes include outstanding historical figures, whose life and work have become legendary, mythologized and turned into a cult. Such geniuses include Moses , Thales, Alexander the Great, Genghis Khan, Pythagoras, Leonardo, Michelangelo , Shakespeare, Goethe, Napoleon, Kant, Nehru, mother Teresa, Greta Garbo, Elvis Presley.
The cultural hero can also play the role of the first ancestor, giving rise to a clan. So in Iranian mythology, Giomarth is considered the ancestor of humanity, and in the myths of the ancient Greeks, Deucalion, the son of Prometheus, the progenitor of all people, and Bel (Belus) as the ancestor of the heroes. At the same time, real cultural heroes are called the ancestors and "fathers" of open, invented and created by them fundamentally new systems, concepts and trends. So Aeschylus is considered the father of the tragedy, and Aristophanes the comedy, Aristotle the father of logic, Hippocrates the father of medicine, George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton are called the founding fathers of the United States, Max Planck and Niels Bohr called the fathers of quantum mechanics, and Tim Berners -Li, Paul Baran and Vint Cerf - the fathers of the Internet.

Необходимо отметить, что согласно метапотенциалистской теории гений отвергает старые парадигмы, теории и направления предельно позитивно, утвердительно, не путем отрицания, а посредством созидания и утверждения новых. Он совершает перевороты в культуре не вследствие своего бунтарского нрава, а потому, что чувствителен к невидимым, но властным влияниям новых возможностей.

3. Computer geniuses - the creators of the virtual worlds of the Internet, global search engines, social networks and Internet projects.
The birth of the Internet was a landmark event in the cultural, creative and even cosmic evolution of mankind. The creation of a self-sufficient, ontologically independent virtual space led to the unfolding of a new, additional dimension of the Universe, to the spontaneous, explosive generation of each point of the virtual space of new, unexpected possibilities.
Artificially created new, alternative reality, at the same time embodying in itself the convention and truth, also has the resource and effectiveness, the ability to influence, to cause real feelings, experiences and actions.
Среди компьютерных гениев, создателей Интернета, сумевших найти техническое воплощение великих гуманитарных идей - идеального общества и гипертекста, выделяются: Тим Бернерс-Ли и Роберт Кайо, которые изобрели технологию Всемирной паутины (World Wide Web), Пол Бэран, разработавший механизм передачи информации от компьютера к компьютеру, а также сеть ARPANET, Винт Серф и Роберт Канн, разработчики протокола TCP/IP, лежащего в основе обмена информацией между коппьютерами, Коэн Брэм, создавший протокол передачи файлов BitTirrent, Стив Джобс и Стив Возняк –создатели персонального компьютера, Билл Гейтс и Пол Аллен соучредители корпорации Микрософт и создатели программного обеспечения для персональных компьютеров.

4. Geniuses - constructors of realities, fiction writers, experimenters , "bead players", modernists, alchemists, wizards and magicians freely using fiction, imaginative power and virtual constructions to get closer to a living and genuine "reality of realities." The construction of multiple possible worlds makes it possible to overcome the limits of the impossible and freely exhaust the possibilities of new content spaces and reservoirs of new potencies.

The creative and potentiating activity of “geniuses – wizards” is realized in the following ways:
- Creating virtual worlds and spaces and using their new possibilities.
- Potentiation, giving new opportunities to existing worlds.

4.1. Creating virtual worlds. One of the most important characteristics of a genius is the ability to create and build virtual worlds, to construct new integrity from active voids. It is distinguished by the desire and ability to multiply the worlds of the Universe and freely use their new, unexpectedly powerful resources.
The creation by genius of possible worlds in art is based on the so-called “secondary convention”, which, unlike the “primary convention” that characterizes the figurative nature of art in general, consists of deliberate departure from likelihood, distortion of visible reality and conscious application of fantasy and fiction techniques These methodological guidelines and artistic principles are manifested in such literary genres as the fairy tale of romantics and symbolists, in some areas of literary modernism, and same in mythological novels (O. Wilde, M. Meterlink) and in philosophical prose and parables (F. Kafka, T. Mann, G. Hesse). “In the poetry of N. Gumilyov,” wrote T. Scriabin, “Acmeism is realized in The path of the poet in the poetry of Gumilev is the path of the warrior, the conquistador, the discoverer. ”At the same time traveling in verses of the poet bore the impression of his specific expeditions to the unknown, but very real lands of the African continent and, at the same time, they echoed the symbolic wanderings in the "worlds of others." The mental construction of possible worlds with particular vividness is manifested in the works of representatives of magical realism, which consciously incorporate magical elements into a realistic picture of the world. Among them, such outstanding creators as Nikolai Gogol, Mikhail Bulgakov, Gabriel García Márquez, Carlos Castaneda, Jorge Luis Borges, Julio Cortazar, Milorad Pavic are particularly notable.
Conscious and skillful design of possible worlds that help highlight new opportunities in current reality characterizes such representatives of social-philosophical and science fiction as K. čapek, A. Tolstoy, J. Verne, G. Wales, A. Azimov, A. Clark, K. Simak, R. Bradbury, K. Bulychev.
Constructive potencies of creative consciousness are also manifested in the fantasy genre, in which the boundless imagination of the authors is organized and justified by the use of mythological and fairy tales and archetypical scenes. At the same time, fictional worlds are created with their supernatural inhabitants, life norms and rules, with their harmonious system of laws that act with the inevitability of the laws of nature, which distinguishes this genre from a fairy tale. The most prominent representatives of the fantasy genre are R. R. Tolkien, Robert E. Howard, R. Zelazny.
Metapotentialist theory of genius asserts that genius is distinguished by extremely developed abilities for mental design and inner vision, for the discretion of enticing, possibilities, unexplored, but useful phenomena, essences and forces, as well as developed imagination and the gift of potentiation - the ability to fill the world and objects with infinitely new possibilities. .
At the same time, the independent goal of the creator is to live, experience, and use not only the new possibilities of the real world, but also all the possible, including the fictional worlds created by them.
The genius acts as a demiurge of new inner worlds, a pioneer of new mental realities, as the creator and multiplier of new inner possibilities.
A genius is able to create new multidimensional inner worlds and project them into the space of his activity and, thereby, create new universes and eras in the sphere of his creativity. Geniuses create and live in their own worlds - the world of music, the world of mathematics or the world of the Internet. So A. Astvatsaturov, analyzing the work of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, wrote that the world had become for him the musical Universe, in the center of which was man. At the same time, Mozart created his own special inner world and “created, saw the world and built its relations from the center of its musical world.”
The genius sees the world as an infinite potency and an inexhaustible resource, he realizes with dizzying clarity that he has the whole Universe at his disposal, he becomes ready to use everything that is available, possible and accidental, and also independently generate new opportunities. With the exhaustion of the resources and capabilities of the basic phenomenal worlds, the genius boldly creates new possible worlds, and freely uses their new, acquiring reality reserves, capabilities and forces. It creates new ontologies, new spaces of abundance, a new reality, built from possibilities, active voids and places saturated with pure energy. Geniuses create a virtual perpetual motion machine, which is a collection of virtual worlds full of “free” energy, information and power. In the virtual worlds, the laws of ordinariness are violated, the laws of nature cease to operate, and by virtue of this, new higher laws come in, making a miracle and dreamlike realization of desires possible.

4.2. Potentiation of reality. Geniuses are owners of such an important quality as the ability to "potentiate", to awaken in the worlds and objects of new properties, qualities, potencies and possibilities. Their activity is directed not only to the construction of possible worlds, but to the generation of new opportunities in the already existing phenomenal worlds, to build an independent world of the Possible.

M. Epstein and G. Tulchinsky defined potentiation as a search for hidden opportunities and potencies, as “overcoming of the world” and the potentiation of reality. M. Epstein asserted the importance of not possible worlds, but worlds of the possible, that constructive possible, which is compatible with our world and gradually transforms and potentiates it.
“Brilliant personalities,” wrote the author, such as Mozart, Goethe, Pushkin, Lermontov, Nietzsche ... therefore attractive and mysterious because they realized themselves, but not completely, in which, with every realization, then new opportunities that remain beyond the edge of life and history. ”

Within the framework of the metapotentialist theory of genius, curiosity, a thirst for novelty, a desire for play, an almost childlike curiosity and a capacity for surprise act as the most important qualities of a genius. Einstein argued that having reached the desired, he never stopped and continued to look for new and deeper problems. Geniuses, the semantic and determining center of the inner world of which is the possibility, as a rule they ask themselves the sacramental question “What if?”, Entrust their own intuition and start to create new theories, concepts and paradigms. Their capacity for inner vision lies in the discovery, construction and enrichment of inner worlds, traveling through “exotic inner spaces” and semantic continents.

At the same time, genius is distinguished by the ability to mysterize reality, manifested in the pursuit of the unknown, mysterious, intriguing and miraculous, in seeing and giving objects features of mystery, incomprehensibility, intimacy, depth and inexhaustibility. Mystery is the most important property of reality, it is manifested in such characteristics of the world as inexhaustibility, integrity and productive tension. The mystery in its depth and scale is commensurate with the concept of genius. Mystery, in itself, has an extraordinary attracting power, at the same time possessing it and its severe preservation, gives rise to exceptional hardness of spirit.
