About me Roots and academic foundation My journey began in a Ukrainian village in the Donbas region. I pursued a dual path of intellectual development, receiving my medical education at Donetsk National Medical University and my mathematical education at V. N. Karazin Kharkiv National University. This rare combination of disciplines provided the framework for my scientific worldview, allowing me to view biological systems through the lens of mathematical precision. My early career was deeply rooted in clinical practice and research, focusing on the nature and treatment of myocardial infarction, atherosclerosis, arterial hypertension, and atrial fibrillation. I served as a professor and the Dean at V. N. Karazin Kharkiv National University, where I worked to restore medical education and guide the next generation of physicians and researchers. From cardiology to the philosophy of life For many years, my research focused on the mathematical modeling of the cardiovascular system and the search for optimal states within the progression of disease. I investigated symmetry in medicine and the inherent efficiency of biological healing processes. However, my entry into retirement opened a unique window of opportunity—a "Lazarus moment" of sorts—allowing me to engage in profound projects that demand the kind of time and reflection that a busy clinical and administrative career rarely permits. My interests have since shifted from specific medical protocols to the broader philosophy of life, health, and the transition between biological and artificial systems. Exploring natural intelligence and digital twins Today, I apply the Theory of Functional Systems to a spectrum of life forms, ranging from the purely biological to the increasingly artificial. My current work explores the transition from biological to artificial intelligence through the formation of what I term Natural Intelligence. This involves the precise study of cognitive development and the creation of the Lazarus algorithm model. I am particularly interested in the concepts of first and second mortality, the limits of human lifespan, and the critical expansion of the healthspan into what I call wellspan. My research now looks toward the role of digital twins in both our lived reality and our digital afterlife, as well as the potential traps of longevity in a technologically advanced society. A collaborative digital legacy These ideas are realized through my books, many of which are written in collaboration with my son, Andriy Yabluchanskiy, and occasionally with my daughter, Anna Yabluchanska. This partnership allows for a hybrid perspective that blends medical tradition with modern public health and artificial intelligence. This blog, much like my English, Ukrainian, and Russian YouTube channels, is intended to be an open space for communication. I invite readers to look beyond the ordinary boundaries of healthcare and join me in exploring the frontiers of human cognition and our place within the emerging bio-digital noosphere.

Безперервний колективний травматичний стресовий розлад: досвід України як новий виклик для медицини

Image
Сучасні класифікації психічних розладів оперують терміном «посттравматичний стресовий розлад» (ПТСР) для опису реакцій на пережиту травму. Це корисна, але історично мирна концепція: «подія сталася», минула, і далі ми маємо справу з наслідками. Для країн, які живуть у довготривалій війні, це припущення не працює. Травматична подія не закінчується. Вона триває, змінюється, повертається у нових формах, охоплює не лише індивідуума, а ціле суспільство. Саме для опису цієї реальності ми вводимо поняття  безперервного колективного травматичного стресового розладу . Україна сьогодні — приклад такого стану в реальному часі. Обстріли, втрати, вимушене переселення, економічна нестабільність, постійна тривога за близьких, хронічна втома, інформаційний шум, політичні й соціальні конфлікти — усе це не «окрема травма», а фон, який не зникає. Людина не повертається з «події» у безпечне середовище. Вона живе в середовищі, де загроза й невизначеність стали нормою. Те саме стосується й колективу: гро...

The Principle of Optimality: When “Good Decisions” Depend on the Environment

When was the last time you made a decision and felt, with quiet certainty, “this is exactly how it needed to be”? Not just squeezing through under pressure, not choosing “let’s hope it somehow works out,” but experiencing a calm, grounded sense of rightness. If we look closely at such moments, the pattern repeats: you more or less understood what was happening, you saw a meaningful goal, you had at least minimal resources, you could count on honest feedback, and, most importantly, the decision felt truly yours, not imposed from outside. We call these conditions the five axes of decision ecology . When they are relatively healthy, even in catastrophic circumstances we retain the ability to choose in ways that do not destroy ourselves or those around us. When they are poisoned by distorted information, fear, or lack of support, we begin to suffer and act in ways we later do not recognize as our own. The Principle of Optimality lives inside this ecology: it describes how, under whatever...
