Abstract

To prepare the theoretical foundation for the rest of this book, in this chapter, based on the basic attributes of the yoyo model, we introduce the structure of meridian fields that helps to hold the dynamic spin field of the yoyo model together. With the spin field of a systemic yoyo structure fully established, we establish various properties of general systems, which will soon be fully employed in the following chapters in the investigation of social organizations of different scales from civilizations, the largest forms of human organizations, to individuals, the smallest units of social organizations.
