Thermodynamic intelligence for a finite planet
We treat societies exactly like the dissipative physical systems they are.
CAMS is the first (and currently only) quantitative, thermodynamically lawful model of collective cognition.
No narratives. No ideology. Just energy, entropy, and phase transitions.

* Australia maintains artificially high health via massive per-capita entropy export (Φ_export = 1.68 W·K⁻¹·cap⁻¹) - coal/LNG dumping the thermodynamic cost abroad
A society only "thinks" (deliberative mode Ψ) when it has surplus free energy to pay the thermodynamic cost of low-entropy institutional coherence.
When surplus disappears, it switches to "feeling" (reactive mode Φ) — short-horizon, stress-driven, kinetic behaviour.
War, revolution, and collapse are not political choices.
They are physical phase transitions.
