In this improved mental climate - through the Transcendental Meditation of many millions of people worldwide - the research impulse known as synergetics emerged in the 1960s and 70s: which allows the interaction in collective systems to be researched, regardless of the type of individual units interacting with one another, be it elementary particles, atoms, molecules, cells, organisms, people or ecosystems. The applicable universal laws apply in physics and chemistry as well as in biology, psychology, sociology and ecology and allow a uniform mathematical description of the spontaneous emergence of synergistic structures, which is referred to as self-organization.
A particularly important finding of synergetics for those responsible for government is that the state of order of a totality of N individual units is determined by the square root of N. So in order to improve the quality of life in a country and keep it at a high level, it is only necessary that the square root of N residents, e.g. B.: in which Transcendental Meditation is taught in schools and thereby promotes the foundations of progress. The “square root of N” rule can also be used specifically if a certain percentage of N individuals succeed in quickly reaching the coherence threshold of the collective through suitable group dynamic effects and thereby become a pacesetter for the entire collective. Then the square root of 1% of the population is sufficient to realize the foundations of progress. Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, who first recognized this effect, has repeatedly tested it in peace projects so that its effectiveness has been repeatedly scientifically confirmed.
In order to bring such insights closer to those responsible for society, we will use some current developments to show that the phenomena of self-organization, as they are mathematically described in synergetics and related theories of collective systems, can be traced back to the action of 5 foundations of progress, i.e 1. Flexibility, which is psychologically experienced as a decrease in anxiety, 2. Stability, which psychologically involves less depression, 3. Integration, which psychologically means a decrease in rigidity, 4. Cleansing, which psychologically means less hostility and 5. Growth, which includes reduced aggression in the psychological area. Research has shown that these 5 foundations of progress are effective and proven not only psychologically, but also physiologically, sociologically and ecologically.
Justifying self-organization through the foundations of progress integrates interdisciplinary concepts from psychology, systems theory, sociology and ecology:
The five principles (flexibility, stability, integration, purification and growth) act as transformative dynamics that enable systems to evolve from lower states of order to higher ones. These principles can therefore be interpreted as universal mechanisms that influence psychological as well as physical, biological and social phenomena. Some analogies would be:
Flexibility (decrease in anxiety): In systems theory, corresponds to increased adaptivity to external influences. In physics, for example, this would be the ability of a system to switch between states with minimal resistance.Stability (decrease in depression): Refers to the ability of a system to remain robust under moderate change without falling into chaos. Physiologically, this corresponds to homeostasis, for example.
Integration (less rigidity): Can be understood as coherence between subsystems, for example in neural networks or in social structures (e.g. stronger cohesion).
Purification (less hostility): Could correspond to the detoxification of disruptive factors in biological or social systems, such as through mechanisms that eliminate dysfunction.
Growth (reduced aggression): Corresponds to the expansion of capacities, such as in neural plasticity, biological evolution or ecological diversity.
Flexibility and stability, for example, could be modeled as competing forces leading to a stable equilibrium.Integration could be described mathematically with correlations between system parts, for example through coherence metrics.
Purification could be represented by mechanisms such as redundancy or damping of unwanted modes.
Growth could be modeled by positive feedbacks that enable exponential or sustainable growth.
Psychology: The reduction of anxiety, depression, rigidity, hostility and aggression indicates a state of higher self-regulation.
Physiology: These principles could be considered parameters for states of health, e.g. stress reduction (flexibility), immune response (cleansing) and neuronal coherence (integration).
Sociology: They could describe social dynamics such as cooperation, conflict resolution and cultural growth.
Ecology: Here they could be applied to biodiversity (flexibility), resilience (stability), network coherence (integration), pollution reduction (purification) and sustainable growth.
The principles of progress also allow an understanding of the creation or reduction of entropy (disorder) in a system::
Flexibility and stability correlate with entropy production and reduction.
Purification and integration could be linked to the minimization of dissipative losses.
Growth could be understood as maximizing the available energy for future processes.
The five foundations of progress could therefore be understood as overarching principles that can be applied to different types of systems. They can be described mathematically using a combination of non-linear dynamics, attractor theory and network models. In-depth research into the fundamentals of progress could not only expand synergetics, but also clarify the connection between psychology, sociology, biology and physics.
1 The fundamentals of progress as universal principles
The five principles (flexibility, stability, integration, purification and growth) act as transformative dynamics that enable systems to evolve from lower states of order to higher ones. These principles can therefore be interpreted as universal mechanisms that influence psychological as well as physical, biological and social phenomena. Some analogies would be: Flexibility (decrease in anxiety): In systems theory, corresponds to increased adaptivity to external influences.

Growth (reduced aggression): Corresponds to the expansion of capacities, such as in neural plasticity, biological evolution or ecological diversity.
2. mathematical description of self-organizatio
Self-organization is often described by nonlinear dynamics, attractors and phase transitions, as they occur in the synergetics of Hermann Haken or the theory of dissipative structures (Prigogine). Their proposed principles could be incorporated as abstract parameters in such models:Flexibility and stability, for example, could be modeled as competing forces leading to a stable equilibrium.
Purification could be represented by mechanisms such as redundancy or damping of unwanted modes.
Growth could be modeled by positive feedbacks that enable exponential or sustainable growth.
3. transferability to other levels
The universal validity of these principles depends on whether they can be interpreted consistently across scales. A few examples:Psychology: The reduction of anxiety, depression, rigidity, hostility and aggression indicates a state of higher self-regulation.
Physiology: These principles could be considered parameters for states of health, e.g. stress reduction (flexibility), immune response (cleansing) and neuronal coherence (integration).
Sociology: They could describe social dynamics such as cooperation, conflict resolution and cultural growth.
Ecology: Here they could be applied to biodiversity (flexibility), resilience (stability), network coherence (integration), pollution reduction (purification) and sustainable growth.
4. reference to entropy
The principles of progress also allow an understanding of the creation or reduction of entropy (disorder) in a system:: Flexibility and stability correlate with entropy production and reduction.
Growth could be understood as maximizing the available energy for future processes.
The five foundations of progress could therefore be understood as overarching principles that can be applied to different types of systems. They can be described mathematically using a combination of non-linear dynamics, attractor theory and network models. In-depth research into the fundamentals of progress could not only expand synergetics, but also clarify the connection between psychology, sociology, biology and physics.
The following examples are analyzed applying the fundamentals of progress:
Example 1: End of the traffic light coalition in Germany in autumn 2024
Example 2: Peaceful termination of the declaration of martial law by the government of South Korea in the fall of 2024
Example 3: The fall of the Assad regime in Syria in December 2024
Example 4: Opportunities in autumn 2024 for an end to the destruction in Ukraine by Russia
