In a series of articles, I discuss a book by Steven Pinker with the title: “The better Angels of Our Nature“. In this book, the author argues that violence in the world […]

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, […]
Two deficiencies undermine strategic thinking
Military operations – at various levels and involving a multitude of parties and interests – are now closely intertwined with political activity and processes. Military activity is now politicized. Two […]
This is how Radicalization works
In this article, I discuss radicalization. The degree of radicalization of a social system and its level/amount of entropy are closely related. As I explain in my research, all natural […]
Our thinking about war and strategy must change
Von Clausewitz is the author of the work “On War” (“Vom Kriege“), and until today dominates thinking about war and strategy-formulation. However, Von Clausewitz’s theory and strategic imperatives are based […]
A system always restores equilibrium (eventually)
A gradient can be understood as a “slope”. The gradient of a graph or series of measurements is the rate at which one set of amounts changes in relation to […]
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 […]
DISSIPATIVE STRUCTURES EXPLAINED: PART 4, PATTERNS IN WAR DYNAMICS EXPLAINED
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 […]
DISSIPATIVE STRUCTURES EXPLAINED: PART 3, MODERN THERMODYNAMICS
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 […]
DISSIPATIVE STRUCTURES EXPLAINED: PART 2, PATTERNS IN WAR DYNAMICS
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 […]
