Dominant Feedback structures determine dynamics

Blog / 21/05/2019

In chapter 29 of the study “On the Thermodynamics of War and Social Evolution“, I discuss feedback structures and how they shape dynamics in the System. During a typical KA/war-cycle, […]

Ecosystem degradation affects our social order

Blog / 07/05/2019

The Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystems Services (IPBES) has published an alarming summary of its findings. The report looks at the decline in biodiversity across the globe and […]

KA/war-cycles and the fundamental differences between non-systemic and systemic KA/wars

Blog / 03/05/2019

KA stands for “kinetic activity” of the System, and is equivalent with war. Analysis of war data shows that during the transient period (1480-1945), the System produced four accelerating KA/war-cycles, […]

Eco-terrorism is a matter of time

Blog / 12/04/2019

Eco-terrorism only seems a matter of time. There is always a tendency in systems – including in social systems – to “eradicate” – neutralize – gradients, including entropy-gradients. As discussed […]

Interacting self-fulfilling prophecies: Buildup of tensions

Blog / 11/04/2019

In case of the (State-)System, self-fulfilling prophecies of various ‘actors’ (e.g. societies and decisionmakers of states) – their mutual expectations – interact and shape each other; it is a process […]

Blog / 11/04/2019

The upscaling of the (State-)System from a core/non-core to a globalized State-System, respectively regulated by the 1st and 2nd (global) FTA, was accompanied by a dramatic shift in the force […]
