I got a very physical "field-like" (Maxwell...) theory on some processes observable in human group dynamics.

Like thermal dynamics or magnetic fields, it might be worth sharing predictive equations for many general maxims about political/group dynamics. (Apophenia, Dunning–Kruger effect, Eudaimonia, Gell-Mann amnesia effect, Hitchens's razor, List of eponymous laws, List of fallacies, Principle of charity, Pyrrhonism, Stoicism, etc.)

A pendulum is predictable. Add another point and it gets hardcore-complicated.

Yep. I feel understood. Most likely. This is quite a strange day.
