Variable of political psychology

In Fig. 6.2 the initial condition Di (0) = D2 (0) = 0 leads to a permanently peaceful situation. The material variables Ei (r) and E2 (r) soon reach the saturation level 1.0 and afterwards perform small oscillations around this level sustained by the interaction between the economic and political variables. The variables of political psychology oscillate at higher amplitudes since they react strongly to economic disequilibria the oscillation is further enhanced in because of the more sensitive reaction of Pi to P2. 

Turning to the equations of motion for the six primary gross variables Pi, P2, E2, Qi and Q2 it is convenient to begin with the variables Pj of political psychology in In the simplest non-trivial case the socio-configuration (6.1) would consist of members of the society disposing of one dovish (a = 1) and one hawkish (a = - 1) attitude only ... 

The Figs. 6.2-16 present the resulting coupled paths of the variables y(r) (total equipment of fy), Py (r) (political psychology in ifj) and i)y(r) (destruction rate in y) in scaled time x for the values (6.54) of the first set of trend parameters together with the values listed in Table 6.1 for the second set. The paths for society ifi are shown as solid lines and those for if2 dashed. While the initial conditions P>y(0) are varied from case to case, the same initial conditions 1 (0) = 0.2, 2(0) = 0.5 and Pj (0) = - 0.2, P2W = 0 apply to all cases discussed. Hence, society starts from a poorer equipment level than if 2 despite...
