Based on EMIS Framework v0.2.0

Politics is not about “Justice”. It is about Root Access, System Stability, and Coercive Energy Control.

Political Science Index - 20 Core Concepts

Switching the variable system:

From:
“Rights, Sovereignty, Legitimacy”

To:
“Root_Access, Boundary, Feedback_Loop”

1. [State]

  • Legacy Definition: A political entity with a monopoly on violence.
  • EMIS Definition: The Central Processing Unit (CPU) of a territory, holding exclusive write access to energy constraints.
  • EMIS Code: 
    class State {
    // Monopoly on high-energy coercion
    private violence_monopoly: boolean = true;
    public territory: Spacetime_Boundary;
}

2. [Sovereignty]

  • Legacy Definition: Supreme authority within a territory.
  • EMIS Definition: Root Access (Administrator Privileges) over a defined energy-spacetime domain.
  • EMIS Code: 
    Sovereignty = sudo.has_permission(Root)
# External interference = Firewall breach

3. [Government]

  • Legacy Definition: The group of people with the authority to govern.
  • EMIS Definition: The active runtime kernel executing the state’s energy allocation algorithms.
  • EMIS Code: 
    Government = Runtime_Instance(State_Protocol)

4. [Legitimacy]

  • Legacy Definition: Right and acceptance of an authority.
  • EMIS Definition: The degree of protocol compatibility between the ruling structure and the ruled nodes (Low Friction).
  • EMIS Code: 
    Legitimacy = Consensus(Governing_Protocol) > Stability_Threshold
# Low legitimacy = High friction (Police cost spikes)

5. [Law]

  • Legacy Definition: Rules created and enforced by social institutions.
  • EMIS Definition: Hard-coded constraints written into the social substrate to predictable energy flows.
  • EMIS Code: 
    def Law(action):
    if action.violates(Constraint):
        System.trigger(Punishment)

6. [Constitution]

  • Legacy Definition: Fundamental principles of a state.
  • EMIS Definition: The Bootloader and Core Architecture definition of the political system.
  • EMIS Code: 
    Constitution = System.Init_Config()
# Hard to patch, requires reboot (Revolution) to change core

7. [Democracy]

  • Legacy Definition: Rule by the people.
  • EMIS Definition: A distributed feedback loop mechanism for energy allocation decisions.
  • EMIS Code: 
    Democracy = Aggregate(Signals_from_All_Nodes) -> Allocation_Vector

8. [Autocracy]

  • Legacy Definition: Rule by one person with absolute power.
  • EMIS Definition: A centralized control topology with minimal feedback bandwidth.
  • EMIS Code: 
    Autocracy = Single_Node.write(All_allocation_tables)

9. [Coercion]

  • Legacy Definition: Persuading someone to do something by force.
  • EMIS Definition: Applying external energy pressure to force a node’s state change.
  • EMIS Code: 
    Coercion = Force_Vector > Node.Resistance

10. [Liberty / Freedom]

  • Legacy Definition: The power or right to act, speak, or think.
  • EMIS Definition: The volume of viable structural paths available to a node within system constraints.
  • EMIS Code: 
    Freedom = count(Available_Energy_Paths)
# Freedom is a function of Energy Surplus

11. [Rights]

  • Legacy Definition: Moral or legal entitlements.
  • EMIS Definition: Guaranteed minimum energy/information access reserved for individual nodes.
  • EMIS Code: 
    Rights = Reserved_Bandwidth(Node)

12. [Justice]

  • Legacy Definition: Just behavior or treatment.
  • EMIS Definition: Error correction mechanism to restore system equilibrium and symmetry.
  • EMIS Code: 
    Justice = restore_equilibrium(System_State)

13. [War]

  • Legacy Definition: Armed conflict between different nations or groups.
  • EMIS Definition: Maximum entropy injection to forcibly restructure boundaries or energy flows.
  • EMIS Code: 
    War = Energy_Dump(Target_Structure) -> Structural_Rupture

14. [Peace]

  • Legacy Definition: Freedom from disturbance.
  • EMIS Definition: A steady state where energy flow friction is minimized without violence.
  • EMIS Code: 
    Peace = d(Structural_Stress) / dt ≈ 0

15. [Policy]

  • Legacy Definition: A course of action adopted by a government.
  • EMIS Definition: A specific algorithm for routing energy to specific sub-systems.
  • EMIS Code: 
    Policy = Route(Energy_Stream, Destination)

16. [Taxation]

  • Legacy Definition: Compulsory contribution to state revenue.
  • EMIS Definition: Systemic energy harvest to maintain the root structure (State).
  • EMIS Code: 
    Taxation = Energy_Harvest(Node_Output) -> System_Budget

17. [Corruption]

  • Legacy Definition: Dishonest conduct by those in power.
  • EMIS Definition: Unauthorized energy leakage or routing bypass within the admin structure.
  • EMIS Code: 
    Corruption = Admin_Node.divert(Public_Stream -> Private_Stream)

18. [Voting]

  • Legacy Definition: Formal indication of choice.
  • EMIS Definition: A periodic, low-cost signal aggregation event.
  • EMIS Code: 
    Voting = Batch_Process(User_Inputs) -> Update(Gov_State)

19. [Ideology]

  • Legacy Definition: System of ideas.
  • EMIS Definition: The Source Code compiling the logic of “Why we allocate energy this way”.
  • EMIS Code: 
    Ideology = Logic_Compiler(Allocation_Rules)

20. [Geopolitics]

  • Legacy Definition: Politics influenced by geography.
  • EMIS Definition: The interaction of energy constraints imposed by the physical map (Matter/Space).
  • EMIS Code: 
    Geopolitics = Game_Theory(Map_Constraints, Resource_Locations)
