This means one or more modules saturated to the extreme with various aspects of the future life order model, which can be easily integrated with the current life order of the society, and deployed, with all their aspects, into the living system of the society with the least conflict with the existing organs and systems and the respective risks.

In this respect, the most suitable module seems to be that of the creation of "Cities of the Future." Cities of the Future are obviously the one module with most complete attributes of human life and society of the future, being essentially a scale model of the society, so all the necessary aspects and spheres of the new life model can be elaborated in the process of creating Cities of the Future.

To achieve this goal, an important element of prioritizing specifically the module of creating Cities of the Future is its multitasking – the ability to raise and solve simultaneously a great number of systemic issues necessary to build a new public system, without facing the significant risks of full-scale development of such a system, as any specific aspect and the entire system can be declared as experimental, until we are confident enough in the status of that aspect or the system in general.

Also, the Cities of the Future module can be used to address one of the most important objectives for Russia – that is, gluing together all its territories and turning them into a single effective and well-orchestrated organism. It seems necessary to address this task by defining various development concepts for different parts of Russia – Okrugs or Regions, each of which would have to perform its own unique function aligned with the predominant strengths, determinations and qualities of the respective territory and its population. At the same time, the development concept of each region must be fully aligned and integrated with the overall development concept of the country as a carrier of the new model of society’s life order – the Humane Society, revealing its various facets. This approach will enable turning the country into a single living organism, where each part is an organ performing its own function, rather than all doing the same thing, interfering and competing with each other and thus undermining each part’s capacity and ruining the synergies. It is therefore possible to develop each region into a unique competency center and the respective center of gravity for the people of appropriate nature, aptitudes, abilities and talents for certain areas of life coming from all over the country and beyond. These competency centers and centers of gravity can emerge in such sectors as education, science, culture, energy, security, economy, management, technology, production of certain goods, agriculture, various intellectual spheres, etc. It is important to emphasize here that we are not talking about the division of functions and their isolated performance by one or another part of the country; each region would still have all the institutions necessary for a fully independent functioning, with a focus on the development of a specific aspect.
