Our efforts to prevent and control war are as misguided as the research methods they are based on
Despite extensive analysis of war-data, regularities in war dynamics were not discovered, at an earlier stage. Why not; how could this happen: Why were regularities in war dynamics not discovered […]
The System is a network of events
The System, as I also argue in my research can also be considered a network of events. In case of the System, these events include kinetic activity (KA, war), issues, […]
DISSIPATIVE STRUCTURES EXPLAINED: PART 5, SOME IMPLICATIONS
In this series of five posts, I explain the workings and implications of dissipative structures that regulate kinetic activity (wars) in our System. The series consists of five parts and […]
