Allgemeine Sozial-System-Physik (ASSP): Eine Theorie sozialer Integrationsdynamik auf Basis des SME-Modells

This work introduces the General Social System Physics (ASSP) as a theoretical framework for analyzing the dynamics of social systems across multiple levels of organization, including individuals, groups, organizations, and societal institutions. The framework builds upon the SME model and expands it into an integrative theory that combines perspectives from psychology, sociology, systems theory, and organizational science. The central premise of ASSP is that social systems function as dynamic integration systems. Their stability and effectiveness depend on the interaction between several key forces: motivational activation, relational resonance, institutional structure, trust, integration capacity, and responsibility coupling. These productive forces interact with systemic constraints such as control intensity and friction costs, which can limit the capacity of a system to translate individual initiative into coordinated collective action. The theoretical model proposes a formal representation of social effectiveness and derives empirically testable hypotheses concerning the relationship between integration, trust, institutional control, and system performance. By introducing a structured set of variables and a formal model of system dynamics, ASSP provides a framework for analyzing how complex social systems maintain stability, adapt to change, or enter phases of conflict and institutional rigidity. The framework is designed to operate across multiple scales of social organization and aims to connect micro-level interaction processes with macro-level institutional dynamics. In doing so, it contributes to ongoing interdisciplinary discussions about complexity, coordination, and resilience in social systems. ASSP is proposed as a foundational framework for the emerging research field of Social System Physics, which seeks to develop integrative theoretical models for the analysis of social dynamics. The work is intended as a starting point for further theoretical development and empirical research across disciplines.
