Introduction to Politiphysics

Abstract

A simple classical mechanics model is proposed to describe the political dynamics of human society. The model provides a mathematical structure for the philosophy of the state-man paradigm. The proposed model borrows many classical mechanical terms and generalizes them into the political domain. The well-known political terms (like freedom and revolution) are given mathematical definitions. Several abstract but solvable problems are presented to demonstrate the general principles of politiphysics, including the Laffer curve and effects of war, immigration, and random forces on society’s momentum of inertia.
