CAMS Research

🧠 Neural Network Approach

CAMS models societies as 8-node neural networks with stress-modulated plasticity, analyzing institutional dynamics across civilizations.

Key Features

• 8 Institutional Nodes: Executive, Military, Knowledge, Property, Trades, Labor, Archives, Merchants
• 4 State Variables: Coherence, Capacity, Stress, Abstraction
• Dynamic Learning: Stress-gated plasticity with error-driven adaptation
• 32+ Societies: 30,856+ data points from ancient Rome to present

📊 Grand System Metric (Ψ)

Unified measure of societal health: Ψ = 0.35 H' + 0.25 P_S + 0.20 P_C + 0.20 P_A

Where H' = System Health, P_S = Stress Penalty, P_C = Coherence Penalty, P_A = Abstraction Penalty

🌪️ Entropy Analysis

Societal entropy measures systemic disorder and energy dissipation within civilizational structures, analogous to thermodynamic processes in complex adaptive systems.

Entropy Dynamics

• System Entropy (S): Quantifies disorder across institutional nodes
• Dissipative Structures: Societies as energy-processing systems with entropy gradients
• Collapse Indicators: High entropy correlates with institutional fragmentation
• Energy Return on Investment (EROI): Metabolic efficiency of societal resource flows

Key Equations

Entropy Rate: dS/dt = ε·(S_external + S_cascade) - ζ·(K·C)/A

Capacity Evolution: dK/dt = γ·EROI·C - δ·S·(1 + 0.5√|A|)

Where ε=0.20, ζ=0.18, γ=0.15, δ=0.12 represent empirically derived coupling constants
