Con as a Process of Coordination in the Formation of System Viability

This paper examines Coordination (Con) as one of the fundamental processes involved in the formation of system viability within the framework of Vitology as an interdisciplinary research program centered on the concept of viability. Coordination is understood as the process through which system components establish coherent interactions that preserve integrity, reduce systemic noise, support regeneration, adaptation, and continuous development. Unlike approaches that interpret coordination primarily as organizational management or functional synchronization, Vitology considers Coordination (Con) a universal systemic process operating across biological, ecological, social, organizational, technical, and artificial systems. The paper analyzes the relationship between Coordination and existing scientific approaches, including systems theory, cybernetics, complexity science, resilience studies, synergetics, and complex adaptive systems research. Particular attention is devoted to the role of Coordination as the process linking Awareness (Aw) with the emergence of the state of coordinated systemic integrity (CON), thereby supporting the continuous increase of system viability.
