Social Modeling

The following is a rough draft of the modeling framework. The hope is that it can be used to understand and analyze the way that sociological structures influence, dictate and manipulate people at a core level. In turn, that knowledge can be used to empower and liberate societies to be better and less coercive.

A summary of the pages below is as follows (and the hand written notes can be understood additionally through the “meanings” presented). Physical objects (speaking broadly) must engage in survival actions and avoid death actions to remain in existence. These are non-overlapping from moment to moment, but can shift thought time. With that shift it implies the object also shifts it’s existence through time. But as it shifts, it retains a knowledge of it’s survival techniques to increase it’s chances of survival. The object understands the world only through it’s own experience, and unconsciously rejects survival actions of the past that are now death actions. Additionally, the object cannot consider others to engage with survival actions or death actions that are foreign to it.

This in turn creates tribes with objects that it can empathize with (aka objects that do not engage with a foreign set of survival and death actions). Within this tribe one can create civility – first on an individual basis, based on it’s own experiences and expectations – then socially which helps to ensure the tribe remains consistent and cohesive. This social civility creates a reality which the object is forced to accept if it is to remain part of the tribe – and part of that reality are the myths that justify it. It is important to note that at this point, through both myth creation and the experiential limitations of each object, we must include non-materialistic objects into the conversation as well.

Radicality is then generated as the objects that act in opposition to that manufactured reality. It is important to note that – like the creation of civility – people are driven to be radical out of a need, specifically because the civil expectations cause them to suffer. Much can be discussed using this consideration, and hopefully the mathematical framework below will assist in that.

The final parts are extensions of all the above: how we can understand a sense of “self” which is an amalgamation of those objects which align with the subjects actions. Identity, which is the object which all aspects of the “self” have in common. Validation, the instance when a stranger’s view aligns with who a person actually is. The other, those objects which are not part of the subjects reality.

Hopefully the below helps people to understand themselves and others better.

While the above is a broader project, the below is more specific to the rhetoric within society and how the sway of social values tends to shift
