| Popis: | Familiar laws of physics are applied to study human relations, modelled by their world lines (worldlines, WLs) combined with social networks. We focus upon the simplest, basic element of any society: a married couple, stable due to the dynamic balance between attraction and repulsion. By building worldlines/worldsheets, we arrive at a two-level coordinate systems: one describing the behaviour of a string-like binary system (here, a married couple), the other one, external, corresponding to the motion of this couple in the medium, in which the worldline is embedded, sweeping there a string-like sheet or brane. The approach is illustrated by simple examples (semi-quantitative toy models) of worldlines/sheets, open to further extension, perfections and generalization. World lines (WLs) are combined with social networks (SN). Our innovation is in the application of basic physical laws, attraction and repulsion to human behaviour. Simple illustrative examples with empirical inputs taken from intuition and/or observation are appended. This is an initial attempt, open to unlimited applications. Comment: 16 pages, 11 figures |
