Social Health Disorders Hypothesis
2024-01-03
(ABSTRACT)
Contemporary social psychology analyzes social constants and variables within either sociological or psychological environments; however, when utilizing an interdisciplinary perspective through formal systems theory, an approach for diagnosing societal disorders as pathogens becomes plausible.
Layered within multiple overlapping systems, each individual and group should be considered as their own system that is able to generate feedback and influence the other system(s). With this interdisciplinary perspective, a pattern becomes recognizable whereby individuals with untreated and maladaptive mental disorders—and given positions of authority or social power—can propagate unstable societal constructs such as fascism, racism, sexism, and other negative societal feedback loops into other groups. These social infections expose healthy individuals to systemic stressors and trauma that replicate as a capsid for unstable negative societal feedback loops.
In essence, these constructs should be considered “social health disorders” due to their ability to operate similarly to public health issues in epidemiology, acting as a contagious social vector that replicates mental health disorders into healthy populations and individuals. Attempts to isolate either disorder—mental or social—from only the perspective of a single system will limit the effective treatment of the underlying disorder and the resulting pathology.
Further interdisciplinary research that combines all contemporary branches of science (i.e., formal: systems theory, natural: epidemiology, social: social psychology [sociology and psychology], etc.) will be required to identify how to analyze and diagnose the casual inference between mental disorders and social systems for effective diagnosis and treatment of affected populations.

Pssst: Hey, how’d you find this totally hidden super-secret link? Oh well, welcome!
Works in progress — don’t take seriously.
Try and challenge life more. See what you can observe. But still rely on the scientific method.
Go ahead: dare. Be a little crazy with me.

Societal momentum should not be viewed in two dimensions — like some basic physics puzzle with equal and opposite reactions on a flat paper with a clean velocity in either direction — instead, it should be viewed as a bubbling mass of smaller yet equal classification of objects at different velocities, as each individual is their own force upon society, and their respective values equally compared.
Example: One potential analogy would be balls bouncing around inside a confined space, such as a bouncy castle. If one ball (an individual) inside a bouncy castle (a group conversion) suddenly accelerates (shifts the overton window), their impact (results) depends on multiple factors. How thick (socially resilient) are the walls? How strong (social authority) is the ball?
If the ball goes at high speeds, it could potentially pierce the bouncy castle and fly off while the remaining balls continue their current momentum around inside a slowly deflating castle. But if the ball goes just below the threshold needed to pierce the bouncy castle's walls then it will instead transfer all that force across the entire surface area and flip the castle on the side.
Further example: like the difference between being stabbed versus being punched. One will go clean through your skin due to the tiny surface area, the other will send your ass flying backwards. Individuals who commit too much force onto a subject, community, conversation, or other social event risks ejecting themselves from the event.
Perhaps this is easier to visualize if viewed more as a chemistry level reaction, similar to particles interacting? Every sapient being an elemental chemical, depending on their societal composition. Unsure. Rough idea. Honestly still just reminds me of orbital mechanics due to learning physics through space simulators and not chemistry or whatever. Cognitive biases always at play; need to mitigate.

Our moods and emotions ride up and down like an ECG, at different frequencies, depending on the individual. Some have more erratic or atypical waves.
When a major event in time intersects that ride and is experienced with another person, we are temporarily "synced up" with them and can forge memories or bonds that continue through time.
Similar to orbital mechanics of the time period available in a docking procedure, this interaction only gives the individuals the opportunity to form these connections. They may choose to ignore each other.
This may be why people can forge long-life friendships through short, often traumatic experiences that were shared with another individual. A large knot of spacetime becomes woven between the realities of two or more individuals and permanently bonds them together, a shared "core memory."
Depending on which stage of the wave the individual is in, such as their current feelings, this can either make the individuals share positive or negative memories of the other individual in the interaction, such as someone in a current stage of rage being placed in a developing situation with someone else who is completely euphoric and aloof. Occasionally even these interactions can intersect at the next smaller scale and either escalate or deescalate the situation similar to social inertia.
I wonder what the range of "typical" rhythm is supposed to be? And how they differ between those suffering mental health disorders? How curious.

... and speaking of peculiar.
Could time act similar to Rayleigh surface waves? As in: what if we are not moving through time; rather, time is moving around us?
Maybe that's absurd. But I can't figure out why it wouldn't be a plausible hypothesis. The observer effect and singularities show us how temporal dimensions work in similar wave-like functionality and within the same sets of other branches and disciplines of science.
Could there be other scientific overlaps? More things about our reality that are only observable once we have another method to compare? Such as how our measuring instruments are created and evolved over society's lifetime -- creating more precise instruments that, in return, created more precise instruments.
Am I finally feeling "it" again? I sense a little of that old spark. Or is this another hapless rambling of an insane man?
Where are these thoughts taking me for this dive? How many levels into the mines of knowledge will this go? Will I finally complete the dimensionality hypothesis and get this damned equation out of my head?
I don't know.

From the perspective of cellular life, are humans gods? Their hosts are their own universe and respective creator.
What about from an ant's perspective? Or a dog's perspective? Our species' ability to construct aircraft, skyscrapers, and other features beyond their comprehension across the entire planet. Do they consider every human a god?
What if our universe is, by extension of the cellular perspective, the body of a god? Every person a cell, every planet a nodes in the larger cosmic body.
Would people find comfort or horror in that revelation? Perhaps both? Or does it not matter?
We already know our creators: our biological parents. We also know our creator's creator's and so on. How many generations do we need to know before we feel comfortable with ourselves?
Does it even matter?

Could fascism have a social science equation?
Individuals are consumed for its continued operation -- each citizen a unit of fuel for the government to expend.
More units are required (immigration, displacement, reproduction) to replace those consumed.
The focus of individuals (i.e. who gets consumed) changes depending on the executive's decision, similar to a human debating whether to sacrifice a limb in an emergency situation. Small groups, similar to individual digits on extremities, will go first -- the easiest, that which does not affect the core of body, individually or socially.
Each day a fascist regime survives, lives are lost. Can this be calculated?
And eventually the system becomes so desperate to consume that it looks outside its borders for solutions: invasion, theft, or other acts of violence to replace what is lost. An insatiable social hunger.
A hunger of an entire society (sociological) yet controlled nearly individually (psychologically). While there are factions, the body as a whole seems to operate in near unison; no different than how our little brains can command our legs to move even when it's injured.
Perhaps this is why fascism is so difficult to diagnose: it combines sociology and psychology. It becomes a hive mind, even though we see individual minds rebelling. But sociologically, it's all power yielded to an executive, and then psychologically is becomes about their individual issues.
This is a negative feedback loop and will destroy any and all societies in its path, it's hunger unending, more economics to consume.

What if black holes are tears into the fabric of the universe, a larger frame of reference and scaled version of cells noticing a body's skin with holes and seeing the outside world?
We might be those cells unable to physically grasp outside the cave of our reality without first exiting the cave and experiencing this reality, i.e. Plato.
Unlikely, but their ability to break down spacetime causes me to contemplate if they are somehow bridges to the outerverse.

GROUP DYNAMICS
Psychological to psychological interactions evolve into dimensional interactions when utilizing sociological concepts:
Individuals are individuals to each other; however, individuals who society has designated as having a social role (e.g. law enforcement, pilot, etc.) must also behave from what society expects of that social role.
But if either individual has a differing belief on a social role -- such as a cop who believes their own safety is more important than of another citizen -- then conflict between society becomes inevitable after sufficient social interactions.
Both sides will believe their interactions on a personal (psychological) level and social (sociological) level were appropriate, and that it was the other who misunderstood, and attempt to rationalize why: prejudice? ignorance? training? etc.
Individual A: Psychological v. Sociological
Individual B: Psychological v. Sociological
Repeat for each individual added (n+1).

Experiences such as Tetris may provide support for mental defragmentation of traumatic events, as evidenced by the Tetris effect.
If the brain operates on a similar mathematical logic as computers then low-level (e.g. "trivial, routine, relaxing, etc.") activities that encourage logic, self-reflection, and time to contemplate (such as doing solo activities) lead to opportunities to understand their past traumas within a safe environment.
Similar to a fidget spinner's design and effects: physical interaction while the mind is occupied elsewhere, yet a physical-mind connection is formed by the occasional (parallel computing) thoughts about the game itself.

The current capitalist industrial scale of growth from our global economy has overtaken the government's ability to effectively provide regulatory oversight, thereby creating an economic imbalance between the populace.
Capitol is now hoarded to levels of wealth whereby entire companies have become individual products for consumption. Each company must provide additional wealth to the shareholders during financial periods, incentivizing consumption of entire companies now to fund other companies later, or be consumed themselves through budgetary cuts.
Shareholders have so much global capitol that they control multiple industries and can override most countries' governmental reform efforts through sheer economic power of manipulation.
It's an alternative form of monopoly that subverts the legal requirements of being industry-specific, designed to maximize growth despite legal constraints.
Analogy: Rather than selling apples, or apple trees, they are selling farms.
Edit: And then using that profit to invest in homes, restaurants, and other industries, repeating the cycle.

Scientific layers of reference:
Formal > Natural > Social > etc., with Philosophy as the second point of reference (why's) to refine the scientific method.
Applicable is also another point of reference on a different plane to calibrate societal understanding of subjects. (e.g. how medicine teaches biology and vice-versa, or physics learning from engineering, and so on.)
Everything is tied together. Science should be used like a scope into phenomena. Like mathematics, all objects must be accepted in their sets -- you are just categorizing them.
The numbers remain unchanged.

Can we map the brain's experience during moments when a brain experiences "time slowing down"?
Possible way for a consciousness to focus on a singular task in a way that feels like actually slows down the observer's passage of time? And could another observer document or observe this phenomena?
Maybe when people feel time slowing down actually are? Like a biological frame-jacking to a lower computational rate?
When in this state, would the individual be considered in a state of "concentrating," "mindfulness," or et etc.? And what other factors?
I'd be very curious to read that paper.

Authority is a social calculus. Individuals being exerted upon by another individual--with assumed authority--can have all sides of the equation treated as rational actors.
Each individual will logically calculate their own agreement of the situation--with respect for contemplating other factors as constants.
You could progressively mathematically determine the odds on whether an individual will respond to a authorities' demand through formal logic.
Constants may include controlling for their own understanding and acceptance of the situation (e.g. impaired? language barrier? etc.), time able to think before deciding, known vs unknown options, and so on.
This will slowly establish a social truth statements and identity laws, such as when a statement is always true for an individual. And the ability to evolve constants and methods during this process.
Example: a method to preserve individual data in a controllable format. This clause ensures that new social phenomena can be fully added into the new method, such as how imaginary numbers were added to set notion.
Perhaps we could find something interesting.

Perhaps black holes are a variation of spacetime equilibrium?
Traveling to them would warp spacetime to the "end of the universe", yet they return their information through hawking radiation... maybe we're missing something?
Could all black holes be, in aggregate or cumulatively, a way to return information to a universal cycle? Like dropping a shitton of sponges into a massive pool--all the water remains, just concentrated, but slowly leaking?

Cognition is a circuit that, once stable and able to become general intelligence capable of self-modification, taps into the 5th Euclidean dimension (intelligence / imaginary) through a hypersphere. General intelligence (mechanical, biological, etc.) is then able to influence lower-level dimensions through interactions as a singularity.
Unknown as to why.

Education should begin with truth-functional propositional logic before any science.
Like binary for a computer, zero-order logic should be the foundation for training individuals of any age in a new field. Children should learn logical truth statements before mathematics to better grasp how variables change, and adults should learn the same concepts but applied to the discipline, trade, or area of study they are entering.
How far could they go with the proper foundation?

Religion may be proto-governments, unstable, and anarchic yet necessary building blocks or links for societal developments into stable authority systems through generations of refinement into information theory, theory of mind, and science.

Cognition is an electrical circuit with layers of abstraction and parallel processing to form higher processing, able to utilize low-level intelligence (cells, AI, etc.) to form a singularity able to warp spacetime around it.
Sapience is an additional dimension within Euclidian space able to modify and interact with the other dimensions and create quantum inferences.
Cognition is simply our bridge to these dimensions--sapience always remains, even after disconnection (sleep, death, trauma, etc.).

Disorders that involve trauma or genetics (i.e. BPD, NPD, etc.) may be a mental health equivalent of a "broken bone" not healing properly and eventually setting into place with fractures.
Gaslighting, abuse, neglect, and other adverse childhood experiential factors from caretakers may result in neural pathways forming successively over time to reward unstable social feedback loops, such as grandiosity (inter-negative loops) and vulnerability (intra-negative loops), where individuals may feel an emotional, chemical, or self-logical desire to extract resources from others in a manner that is negative in a larger social context (e.g. attention, authority, resources, etc.).
Over enough learned repetitions, these neural pathways may form an equivalency to addiction: thus requiring a combination of psychiatric drugs to assist with cognitive repairs (e.g., SSRI, SNRI, antipsychotics, etc.) and psychotherapy (e.g. CBT) to form both an intrapersonal understanding of their behaviors and a chemical regulation to assist with emotional stabilization.
This could be similar to an individual needing both physiological medical attention (medicine, splints, casts, etc.) to stabilize their ligaments and physical therapy (guided exercise, nutrition, etc.) to properly restore functionality.
Without therapy, the individual might not return to their self-learned behaviors, similar to an addiction, and reactivate those neural pathways. Without medicine, the individual might not be emotionally stable enough to resist behaviors they know are destructive.
