Abstract
. The article is devoted to the problem of the human consciousness nature, the possibility of its purposeful formation and reformation (flashing). It is substantiated that in this aspect it is necessary to consider the issues of the correlation of primary natural codes, the na-ture of their interaction with secondary cultural codes. The structure of human consciousness, due to its natural origin, is considered through the prism of computer terminology as "hard", and artificial secondary codes as "soft" ("software"). Particular attention is paid to the problem of clarifying the limits (framework) of the arbitrariness of "soft" in relation to the available "hard", which, in relation to humanity, has ethnogenetic specificity.

The factors that determine the boundaries of the plasticity of consciousness to the adoption of new secondary codes, as well as the boundaries (frames) whose transition leads to the breakdown of the entire ethno-cultural and natural system of the people as a whole, are analyzed.
