Welcome
Welcome to the sociomechanics project, which aims to model social behaviour using ideas from Newtonian Mechanics. Using the system dynamics methodology of stocks, flows, and feedback, concepts such as force, momentum, and energy can give insight into the ways social phenomena change over time.
For example, stock y exerts a force on stock x. Changes in y cause x to accelerate, which is a deviation from uniform change. Read more.
This website gives help on the Loop Impact Method and the Newtonian Interpretive Framework, both used in system dynamics and foundational to sociomechanics.
