Matrix Thinking: How Society Works
Welcome to MTHom: The Matrix Thinking Home Page
This is the Home Page for "MT: Matrix Thinking: How Society Works" -- a collection of articles all about the inside workings of human societies, social groups, individuals in society, and their analogues elsewhere in nature. The MT1 articles are based on chapters of David Noel's 1985 book "Matrix Thinking" -- details at MT126. The MT2 articles listed at the end are later offerings, but more or less follow on from the MT1 articles.
