Global Geopolitical Psychodynamics

Abstract

This paper models global geopolitical psychodynamics. The globe’s land surface is specifically divided into distinct regions called geopatoms. A single target space is defined for the entire ensemble of geopatoms. The target space is parameterized by the segment . Three target points, marked with the numbers , , and , play a special role. The three listed target points define: the geopatoms’ desire for individual existence for goal , for unification into large associations for goal , and in the absence of a desire for the first two goals for goal . All geopatoms in the ensemble are classified as geopatoms of goals , , and . To describe the individual behavior of individual geopatoms, as well as groups of geopatoms of an ensemble in the target space, a mathematical model of psyphysics, previously developed by the author, is used. In the target space, the movement of geopatoms is described in terms of “will”, “freedom”, “force” and “power”, which are defined and calculated in the model of psyphysics. Using a computational experiment, we study various types of psychodynamics in the target space of low- and high-ranking geopatoms’ associations. It is shown that all types of psychodynamics can be roughly divided into two categories: indefinitely lasting quasi-periodic movements and regimes in which geopatoms dynamics may cease. The presence of the latter mode fundamentally distinguishes psychodynamics from ordinary dynamics over time. The work calculates a single index for all states on the globe, which describes the relationship between psyphysics and geophysics in the structure of each state. A primary analysis of the values found is carried out, and a table of index values is provided for  countries and territories with other status.
