QUANTUM SOCIAL SCIENCE

The current level of specialization of knowledge in a variety of fields of inquiry may make it quite challenging for a researcher to be at the same time a “developer” and a “tester” of a theory. Although a theory can exist without a necessary clear and obvious practical end goal, the ultimate test of the validity of a theory (whether it is situated in the exact or social sciences) will always be how measurement can “confirm” or dislodge a theory. This book is largely dedicated to the development of a theory. We will be the very first to accept the accusation that the duo “theory-test” is widely absent in this work, and we believe it necessary to make this statement at the very beginning. This book is about a very counter-intuitive development. We want to use a physics machinery which is meant to explain sub-atomic behavior, in a setting which is at the near opposite end of the size spectrum, i.e. the world as we know and live it through our senses. We may know about the sub-atomic world, but we do not have human experience of the sub-atomic world. Do we have credible and provable stories which can explain how the sub-atomic engages into the mechanics of the statistical macro-world? Probably not. Why do we bother then about being so exotic? The interested reader will want us to provide for a satisfactory answer to this obvious question, and we want to leave it up to him or her to decide whether we have begun, via the medium of this book, to convince that the level of “exoticality” (and “yes” how exotic is that word?) is sensibly less than anticipated.
