On the Foundations of Social Dynamics: An Efficient Mathematical Statement of a General Framework Underlying a Complex Nonlinear Social Determinism, Incorporating a Supra-Observer and a Suprastructure

Abstract

What social scientists, as detached observers, write about society’s dynamics carries in it an inevitable contradiction: on the one hand, it is always a product of the imagination and thus it is fiction; on the other hand, it is an effort to replicate social reality as closely as possible and code it in a transmittable manner, while minimising the always present and requisite variety for reasonable interpretation and extension. It is the requirements for precise replication and transmittable coding of social reality which distinguishes social scientists from novelists.
