Abstract: The subject of this research is the influence of specific features of the conditions for existence of the open dynamic systems that refer to the type of “society”. Such issue is considered from the perspective of extrapolation of the universal systemic functions of an open dynamic system upon the forms of socio-political organization, which possess sufficient size, structural complexity, and relative autonomy. The article reviews the three main aspects of this problem: first, the current trends in the social sciences that create a number of obstacles, including of subjective character, for free use of extrapolation of the universal systemic functions at the social level of the integrational superorganization within the framework of sociobiological paradigm; second, it is the functional analysis of the mechanisms of adjustment and development of the open dynamic systems; and third, it is a consideration of influence of the specific features of conditions at the social level of the integrational superorganization of open dynamic systems. Methodology of the research is constructed within the sociobiological paradigm based on the principles of the system analysis, abstract functionalism, and extrapolation of general synergetic functions upon the development of the open dynamic systems at the social level of integrational superorganization. The scientific novelty consists in identification and analysis of the factors that cause deviations in formation of the adaptable mechanisms at the social level of integrational superorganization if compared with the adaptable mechanisms of the open dynamic systems of lower level. While concerning earlier and simpler forms of social organization extrapolation there can be noticed a rather high similarity with the adaptable mechanisms of lower levels, then in the course of evolution, complication, and growth of the "area of habitability" of social organisms has reduced, which led to modification of the adaptable mechanisms of modern societies. Taking into account the mutating factors will allow avoiding errors of the «blind» extrapolation of experience accumulated in the course of studying of the open dynamic systems of lower levels.
