TL;DR

This paper develops a neo-Gibbsian thermodynamic framework for social systems, using economic and cultural parameters to model equilibrium and dynamics without relying on classical thermodynamics equations.

Contribution

It introduces a new conceptual basis for defining intensive variables in social thermodynamics, emphasizing cultural diversification and multi-currency phenomena.

Findings

Defined a non-decreasing function S representing social laws and norms.

Analyzed thermodynamic forces in equilibrium between two social systems.

Proposed a thermodynamic approach grounded in social and economic parameters.

Abstract

This work proposes a first approach towards a neo-Gibbsian thermodynamic theory for social systems, grounded in quantifiable economic and cultural parameters, while deliberately avoiding direct analogies with classical thermodynamic equations of state. Building on previous thermodynamic approaches to economic modeling, we introduce a conceptual basis for defining intensive variables capable of characterizing equilibrium states and evolutionary dynamics in societies. Particular attention is given to cultural and structural diversification of goods and resources, as well as to the phenomenon of multi-currency systems. A non-decreasing function $S$ is defined over all social processes to represent the accumulation of laws, norms, and other quantifiable symbolic elements. Finally, we examine its interpretation in terms of thermodynamic forces, focusing on the case of equilibrium between two simple interacting social systems exchanging resources.
