Is there an elementary structure of social reality sharing formal features of quantum processes? This book argues that there is.
Beyond established social theories, Social Quanta develops a non-commutative theory centred on a universal constant of social action (κ): the minimal coupling of information and social effect. Like Planck’s constant, κ establishes the scale of social action.
How are social order and disorder possible? Why does social transformation occur at all? It offers one framework for answering these questions, yielding testable predictions and a new understanding of human and non-human social realities.
Michael Hochschild, Professor of Social Epistemology at PISTech Paris.
