The Power of Nations as a Complex Adaptive System

Abstract

The unicist archetype of a Nation expands based on what we call the economic power and the minimum strategy is based on its not exerted destruction power. When power has been exerted, it has been lost. This implies that the destruction power that sustains the archetypical power of a Nation is given by the dissuasion power which is needed in order to sustain economic power.

Economic power is materialistic power; it doesn’t mean financial power although it implies it. Materialistic needs are the essential drivers for evolution. The dissuasion capacity defines a context of energy conservation.

The Power of Nations has different agents with different roles:

1) The economic agents 2) The military agents 3) The religious agents 4) The country administrators

The Power of a Nation has a level established by the archetype of a culture. But it only works if all the agents develop their activity within the fundamentals of the archetype.

This implies that business, military, religious and governmental agents have to be consistent with the values of a culture. When they are not, they collide with the culture and produce entropy in the system.
