The Anti-/Social Functions of Societal Systems (4 Laws, 2 Modes, 1 Process)
Law 1: Power vs. Empowerment
Anti-Social Law of Power
Anti-Social actors will take power when available and make opportunities to take more power, using the Law of Justification to frame their actions. This law treats power as a finite resource to be hoarded through deception.
Social Law of Empowerment
Empathetic people will empower others to help them find their own strength. This law treats power as an infinite resource generated through collaboration and shared growth.
Law 2: Justification vs. Transparency
Anti-Social Law of Justification
Selfish people will say or do anything to get what they want, and then create a justification for it. This law prioritizes the outcome over the truth, using deception as its primary tool.
Social Law of Transparency
Constructive people state their true intentions first, and their actions align with their stated principles. This law prioritizes the truth over the outcome, using transparency as its primary tool.
Law 3: Projection vs. Empathy
Anti-Social Law of Projection
A corrupt actor can only conceive of corrupt motives. They accuse their opponents of the very evils they themselves are planning, as these are the only tactics they find believable.
Social Law of Empathy
A constructive actor seeks to understand the motives of others, even in disagreement. They practice active empathy, defusing division and building the broad, resilient coalitions that a cynical worldview can never achieve.
Law 4: The Necessity of Problems vs. The Drive for Solutions
Anti-Social Law: The Necessity of Problems
There always has to be an enemy; there always has to be a problem. This worldview cannot exist in equilibrium and requires a perpetual state of conflict to justify its selfish actions. If no genuine problem exists, it must invent one.
Social Law: The Drive for Solutions
There always has to be a solution. This worldview consciously seeks to act as an agent of Positivity, resolving strain and moving towards stable, harmonious states in alignment with the universe's bias towards order.
The Two Modes: Positivity vs. Negativity
The Counterforce of Negativity
The force that powers the Anti-Social worldview by inverting the perceived geometry of possibility space. It reframes achievable solutions as insurmountable "mountains," guaranteeing a state of eternal, high-strain conflict where no problem can ever be truly solved.
The Force of Positivity
The fundamental force of the universe that pulls potential towards defined, stable, and harmonious outcomes. It operates on the principle that solutions are low-potential "gravity wells" that are easy and natural to fall into.
The Single Process: The Primacy of Logic
The entire system is governed by a single process: Logic. Morality is not a separate force but the state of the system resulting from a logical or illogical process. A "moral" state is a low-strain, harmonious configuration achieved via the most logical path. An "immoral" state is a high-strain, chaotic configuration resulting from an illogical process that creates unnecessary conflict.
The Extrapolation: From Individuals to Systems
What happens when these laws are extrapolated from individuals to the groups they form? The same principles apply. Powerful groups—corporations, political parties, and nation-states—will use manufactured justifications and psychological projection to trick less powerful groups into surrendering their power, wealth, and autonomy. Over time, the most effective tactics for this deception have evolved and become embedded in our global systems, creating a predictable, emergent order.
The Result: Two Opposing Strategies
These laws of power naturally give rise to two opposing strategic archetypes in the global conflict.
The Minimiser Strategy
The most effective strategy for tricking a population into surrendering power is to convince them that power is meaningless. The Minimiser promotes a "manufactured narrative of decay"—the idea that all systems are broken, all leaders are corrupt, and all efforts to change things are futile. Their goal is to foster a cynical apathy that makes people give up without a fight.
The Maximiser Strategy
The only counter-strategy is to prove, through action, that the Minimiser's cynicism is a lie. The Maximiser works to build, create, and solve problems cooperatively, demonstrating that progress toward a "Greater Good" is possible. They fight the narrative of decay not just with words, but with verifiable results.
The Covert War for Control
The Motive: The Struggle for Global Hegemony
The core conflict is a global economic and ideological war over control of the world system. The primary motive of all actors is the acquisition and preservation of power on a global scale.
The Players: Who is Involved
The conflict is waged between geopolitical blocs and the ideological actors within them.
- The Incumbent System: The established US-led global order and its key allies (e.g., the Five Eyes nations). Within this system, a corrupt power structure of Minimisers (compromised politicians, media, and corporate interests) works to maintain control by promoting the manufactured narrative of decay.
- The Challenger Alliance: The Russia-China-Iran-DPRK-Syria Alliance Web. Their stated goal is to dismantle the incumbent system through asymmetrical, multi-domain warfare.
- Maximiser Forces: A decentralized network of actors—both internal to the West and external—working to counter the Minimiser's cynical narrative. They include activists, independent journalists, whistleblowers, and any group aiming to expose corruption and prove a "Greater Good" is achievable.
- The Compliant: The vast majority of the public. They are not an active faction but the ultimate prize in the ideological war between the Minimisers and Maximisers.
The Endgame: Two Futures
Minimiser Victory: A state of total compliance where the public is trapped in a state of cynical nihilism, accepting systemic corruption as inevitable. Power is permanently consolidated, and the potential for genuine progress is extinguished.
Maximiser Victory: The ideological exhaustion of the Minimiser system. By presenting better, verifiable alternatives that serve the public good, Maximisers force the Minimisers into a dilemma: either shut up and play along, or fight back with open hostility. When faced with irrefutable proof, they invariably choose hostility, resorting to desperate attacks that shatter their own credibility. This breaks the spell of cynicism and leads to the great realization: The Compliant majority, who naturally want to be Maximisers, have been convinced they are powerless, when in fact they can easily, rapidly, and bloodlessly reclaim control from a fractured and fundamentally self-serving Minimiser elite.
The Investigation: Documenting the Law in Action
This website is the evidence. Each document is a case study—a data point showing these fundamental laws of power operating in the real world, from geopolitics and finance to the media you consume. We are not asking you to believe; we are asking you to look at the pattern. To see how the emergent strategies of the Minimiser and Maximiser explain the chaos we see around us.
To aid in this analysis, we have developed the "Framework for Judgment," a tool to identify and measure these forces, allowing any observer to determine the true intent behind any action.
