VIII. Earth Earns: An Open CoCreative Earthropocene to Astropocene PediaVerse4. A Natural Genocratic Complementarity: me + We = US
A crucial benefit would be to apply the abiding universal bigender principles to the United States and national elections everywhere. As viewers know, this country ever splits into right/left, Republican/Democrat, conservative/liberal, red/blue, COVID mask or baldface destructive polarization. These preferences align with individual autonomy or communal support, militarism/negotiation, conflict/tolerance, past/future, see Complementarity of Civilizations for more. For example, the 2000 election between Al Gore and George Bush divided to a few votes out of a 100 million. Recent elections in Germany, France, Mexico, Africa, have similarly split, often with violent results. , . Ermann, Leonardo and Dima Shepelyansky. Confrontation of capitalism and socialism in Wikipedia networks. arXiv:2408.07606.. arXiv:2408.07606. Comisión Nacional de Energía Atómica, Argentina and Université de Toulouse, France physicists (search DS & website) distill a distinct theory of a mathematical complexity as an insistent tendency that drives human activities to divide into these generic, polar options. We introduce the Ising Network Opinion Formation (INOF) model and apply it for the analysis of networks of 6 Wikipedia language editions. In the model, Ising spins are placed at network nodes/articles and the steady-state opinion polarization of spins is determined from the Monte Carlo iterations in which a given spin orientation is determined by in-going links from other spins. The main consideration is done for opinion confrontation between capitalism, imperialism and socialism, communism. We find that the global network opinion favors socialism, communism for all 6 editions. We also present results for opinion competition between Christianity and Islam, and USA Democratic and Republican parties. We argue that the INOF approach can find numerous applications for directed complex networks. (Excerpt) Radical Middle Newsletter. www.radicalmiddle.com.

Abele, Andrea and Bogdan Wojciszke. Communal and Agentic Content: A Dual Perspective Model. Advances in Experimental Social Psychology. Volume 50, 2014. University of Erlangen-Nurnberg, Germany, and University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Poland scholars contribute perceptive insights upon these perennial archetypes. Once again a constant reciprocal code of self and others, autonomy and intimacy is proposed. Their erudite distillation is then proposed to replace olden Big Five traits with a Big Two marriage of entity/agency and empathy/community. An integral mutuality of me individual and We grouping is another version. As anthropologist John Terrell writes (search), could we ask for a better instance than liberal and conservative political parties, which beg to be seen as a coincident of opposites. For further avail, an eternal yang and yin is the core basis for Klaas van Egmond’s Sustainable Civilization (2014) recommendations. We summarize and integrate a large body of research showing that agency and communion constitute two fundamental dimensions of content in social cognition. Agentic content refers to goal-achievement and task functioning (competence, assertiveness, decisiveness), whereas communal content refers to the maintenance of relationships and social functioning (benevolence, trustworthiness, morality). We present a Dual Perspective Model of Agency and Communion (DPM-AC) developed to show that the two dimensions are differently linked to the basic perspectives in social interaction, that is, the actor versus the observer/recipient perspectives. (Abstract excerpt) Abele, Andrea, et al. Facets of the Fundamental Content Dimensions: Agency with Competence and Assertiveness – Communion with Warmth and Morality. Frontiers in Psychology. November, 2016. A. Abele, University of Erlangen (search 2014), Nicole Hauke, University of Queensland, Kim Peters, University of Strasbourg, Eva Louvet, University of Strasbourg, Aleksandra Szymkow, University of Social Sciences, Warsaw, and Yanping Duan, Hong Kong Baptist University contribute to this overdue shift in psychological studies from olden Big Five personality traits to more distinctive Big Two qualities. Their occasion may be traced to Abele, Oscar Ybarra, et al in the 2000s on to Susan Fiske circa 2018, as its validity gains a growing number of colleagues and usages. But it is so curious that as the titles well states, this ultimate pairing is still not realized to be complementary gender archetypes. Agency (A) and communion (C) are fundamental content dimensions. We propose a facet model that differentiates A into assertiveness (AA) and competence (AC) and C into warmth (CW) and morality (CM). We tested the model in a cross-cultural study by comparing data from Asia, Australia, Europe, and the USA. Both the two-factor model and the four-factor model showed good fit indices across countries. The findings support the model's validity by positioning the traits within a network of self-construal, values, impression management, and the Big Five personality factors. In all countries, A was related to independent self-construal and to agentic values, and C to interdependent self-construal and communal values. Our research shows that (a) the fundamental dimensions of A and C are stable across cultures; and (b) that the here proposed distinction of facets of A and C is fruitful in analyzing self-perception. (Abstract excerpt) Albrecht, Glenn. Earth Emotions. Ithaca: Cornell University Press, 2019. This passionate evocation by the Australian environmental philosopher is reviewed more in A Viable Gaia, which we cite here for his proposal of a “symbiotic democracy” based upon and guided by nature’s intrinsic, animate democratic reciprocity of individual and community. “Sumbiocracy” I define as a form of cooperative rule, determined by the type and totality of mutually beneficial or benign relationships, in a given sociobiological system. Sumbiocracy is a form of government where humans govern for all the reciprocal relationships of the Earth at all scales, from local to global. Organic form (all biodiversity including humans) and organic processes (symbiotically connected ecosystems and Earth systems) are primary in this new form of government. (106) Alexander, Gary. eGaia: Growing a Peaceful, Sustainable Earth Through Communications. Norfolk, UK: Lighthouse Books, 2002. As a response to environmental devastation, a worldwide network of cooperative communities enhanced by shared electronic resources is described. For a working metaphor, our home planet earth is seen as a living organism just now reaching individual and collective consciousness.

Perspectives on Politics.

A McGill University, Iranian-Canadian political scientist offers another nuance of what “democracy” might mean. The concept is traced all the way to Athens, but none of the myriad versions since anywhere seem workable. Indeed, built-in flaws lead to insular factions and selfish behaviors which do not serve any populace. Yet, as the Abstract alludes, a truly bicameral body whence personal interests are balanced by integral responsibility ought to govern in an egalitarian way. As one reads along, the two sides of an aisle appear as a description of brain hemispheres, with individual agency leavened by contextual empathy. As this binocular decade begins, cities from Santiago and Beirut to Hong Kong and Paris and nations from Australia, Brazil, the UK and especially this USA remain beset by polar forces of every kind. How can it finally dawn that these natural halves are not warring enemies but well complement each other? The two traditional justifications for bicameralism are that a second legislative chamber serves a legislative-review function (quality legislation) and a balancing function (checking power and protecting minorities). I furnish here a third justification for bicameralism, with one elected chamber and the second selected by lot, as an institutional compromise between contradictory imperatives facing representative democracy. Elections are a mechanism of people’s political agency and accountability, but run counter to equality and impartiality, and are insufficient for satisfactory responsiveness while sortition augurs for equality and impartiality. (Abstract excerpt) Archibugi, Daniele. The Global Commonwealth of Citizens: Toward Cosmopolitan Democracy. Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2008. A noted scholar with appointments from Italy to Britain wonders how a novel transnational humanist governance might be sketched in a way so as to guide the historic struggle from conflict, injustice, and poverty to benevolent participatory empowerment. But immersed in a continental mindset, an informing, intrinsic sense of a natural guidance eludes - see, e.g., Ellen LaConte below. Asir, M. Paul, et al. Critical Transition Influenced by Dynamic Quorum Sensing in Nonlinear Oscillators. European Physical Journal Special Topics. 230/3211, 2021. In a special issue on Tipping in Complex Systems, Central University of Rajasthan, India physicists study a generic instance of active movement from one state to another with a tendency to seek and attain an aggregate preference. But the payoff is to note that these generic results imply a widespread prevalent propensity across natural phenomena to achieve an optimum agreement. (One might say that political behaviors just the reverse – each individual wants their way, with no compromise) We investigate the critical transitions in the ensemble of nonlinear oscillators interacting with the dynamical environment. A threshold is encoded by the amplitude of individual oscillators present in the network. The key idea is that whenever the oscillator’s amplitude is above the threshold, that node will be coupled to the environment with particular interaction strength. This consideration mimics the mechanism of quorum sensing by which many biological and chemical systems attain collective behavior. We were able to deduce the general expression to obtain critical points in the chosen models. (Abstract excerpt) Bokanyi, Eszter, et al. Universal Scaling Laws in Metro Area Election Results. PLoS One. February 28, 2018. Eotvos Lorand University, Budapest and Harvard Medical School systems theorists including Gabor Vattay identify common underlying regularities even for such vicarious social activities. As so many papers across each area of life and mind similarly attest, a grand conclusion is becoming evident. For all this occur, there must exist a separate, independent mathematical domain which impresses and exemplifies itself in kind. In the late 2010s, here is an epochal discovery of a universe to human, ecosmos to culture, genotype and phenotype natural genesis. See also Scaling in Words in Twitter by this team at arXiv:1903.04329. We explain the anomaly of election results between large cities and rural areas in terms of urban scaling in the 1948–2016 US elections and in the 2016 EU referendum of the UK. The scaling curves are all universal and depend on a single parameter only, and one of the parties always shows superlinear scaling and drives the process, while the sublinear exponent of the other party is merely the consequence of probability conservation. Based on the recently developed model of urban scaling, we give a microscopic model of voter behavior in which we replace diversity characterizing humans in creative aspects with social diversity and tolerance. The model can also predict new political developments such as the fragmentation of the left and the immigration paradox. (Abstract) Bornstein, David. How to Change the World: Social Entrepreneurs and the Power of New Ideas. New York: Oxford University Press, 2004. Around the world grass roots activists are combining the latest technologies such as cellphones with innovative monetary and community solutions to improve the quality of life and opportunity of many emerging regions.

Reviewed more in systems Chemistry, RB Hasselt University, Belgium, David Doty UC Davis and David Soloveichik UT Austin metaphorically allude to an electoral polarity of aye and nay options as a good way to explain and represent chemical interactions.
