That simple interactive motion creates the collective's characteristics. At a collective level, the story of the collective force is the social pressure. One can tell a human army, a gang, or a group to 'go kill' or 'go build a nation' and the bunch will walk out together and act no longer as individuals, but as a collective. A complex system is one where there is a tremendous amount of internal exchange by the actors. The physics of complex systems is played out on the basis of trying to understand what these complex internal agents are doing.
Ordinary physics is a flatland physics, a physics at some particular level.
Examples include nuclear and atomic physics, biophysics, social physics, and stellar physics. Homeokinetic physics combines flatland physics with the study of the up down processes that binds the levels. Tools, such as mechanics, quantum field theory, and the laws of thermodynamics, provide key relationships for the binding of the levels, how they connect, and how the energy flows up and down. And whether the atomisms are atoms, molecules, cells, people, stars, galaxies, or universes, the same tools can be used to understand them. Homeokinetics treats all complex systems on an equal footing, animate and inanimate, providing them with a common viewpoint.
