Abstract

This paper proposes a radical alternative to the prevailing materialist determinism in political science. The author postulates that the traditional measurement of power through tangible assets (GDP, military might) is no longer predictively valid in the context of 21st-century asymmetric conflicts. Instead, the framework of Deontic Topology is introduced, where political agency is viewed as a derivative of the internal logical structure of an actor's "axiomatic code."
