From notes made in "General Systems Theory": Elements of Cultural strength: 1) Mood ( economic climate/ Kondratieff-Mandelbrot cycles) 2) Resources ( Club of Rome "The Limits of Growth " simulations) 3) Population dynamics (Verhulst/ Lotka Volterra nonlinear differential equations) 4) Other elements ( cultural competition) A nonlinear equation like: Csf'=Csf+w1*P(mood)+w2*P(resources)+w3*P(population)+w4*P(competition) {w1,w2,w3,w4} are observed weights from statistics like the stock market, oil and rare metal prices, census and wars. The map represents a multidimensional chaotic equation that isn't easy to solve. Isaac Asimov pointed out that the course of such events could be changed by one man's invention or discovery of a new technology ( his Mule). Using a Jacobian with a social structure matrix Det[M(i,j)]<=1 J=log(N)+3*log(detM)+log(1-K*detM/N)-->1 which gives: N-K--> Exp(1) The social structure matrix assumption as being unitary or below is that cultures have a convex hull structure: that they live for a time then die. This assumption is pretty much what history tells us. That cultures have cycles like the stock market... and sometimes just collapse in a catastrophe. The Club of Rome results are pretty much the same projection the Petroleum Geological predictions for future oil reserves and were never a surprise to anybody. What math says and what happens is usually different, but many times because we heed the math. This is an example Mathematica notebook showing a solution of a type of 4d system. x is taken as population like and w as resource like: y,z are taken as mood and competition variables. I further added a cultural strength variable in another version and it worked as well. This set is not a "serious" model, but one that I thought might calculate from my previous 4d chaos work. It is to show how such a model can be set up and solved using Mathematica. Respectfully, Roger L.
