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 […]

From a Directed to a Centrifugal Force
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 […]
The System
The System consist of interacting communities and societies, and of their interactions with their respective environments on which they also depend. State-structures represent and regulate societies in the State-System and […]
Optimization between Order and Disorder and the Role of Chaotic Dynamics
Life – including the sustainment of a dissipative structure as the FTS – requires an intermediary level of entropy: Not too much entropy – too much disorder – and not […]
Attack Tolerance of Networks
Networks differ in their attack and error tolerance. Scale-free networks have a typical ‘error and attack tolerance’ (1), which is related to the distribution of nodes with a certain degree […]
Social Entropy
Entropy in social systems appears – manifests itself – as tensions. Entropy in social systems appears – manifests itself – as tensions. Tensions – ‘social entropy’ – are generated by […]
On the Thermodynamics of War and Social Evolution
Global4cast has published a new study with the title “On the Thermodynamics of war and Social Evolution“, which provides the scientific explanation for patterns in war dynamics that were discussed […]
