Social Arithmetic is amazingly
trivial!
The basic model has only one
parameter and three variables.
1. Calculating an Individual Social
Index:
ISI = smart*honest*active
with conditionings:
(a) if ANY of the multiples/factors
is equal to ZERO the whole product is ZERO.
(b) if ANY (or two, or all three) of
the multiples/factors is negative the whole product is negative.
2. Calculating the Compound Social
Index:
3.
If CSI
>> 0 the society is on the progressive path.
If CSI
~ 0 the society is in the turmoil, social incoherence, revolution-type
situation.
If CSI
<< 0 the society is on the regressive path, degrades, in a social decline.
In 2016 in America CSI was slightly negative.
In 2018 in America CSI is
close to ZERO.
The next model should include the
fact that peoples’ actions are not just positive or negative, but may point in
many different directions, hence they are vectors.
In this model, the resulting
direction of the evolution of the country may have progressive as well as
regressive components.
In particular, this model explains why
many strong but opposite political forces can cancel each outer and lead to
nowhere, but many relatively week but aligned forces can generate a sustainable
movement in a specific direction.
Conservatives (and dictators) use
this model when coordinating mass media to influence peoples’ minds (mind
manipulation, brainwashing).
Liberals are too busy with pushing individual
agendas that their actions almost neutralize each other (for example, watch this short video).
P.S. my shortest post so far; demonstrates the role of mathematics!
