Strings of Social Energy (SSE): A Dynamic Framework of Human Connection, Emotional Physics, and the 27 Social Topologies
Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: Most contemporary personality models rely on static trait categorization, failing to account for situational thresholds, metabolic exhaustion, and directional emotional contagion. This paper introduces the Strings of Social Energy (SSE) framework, a dynamic behavioral and mathematical model that conceptualizes human interaction as signal routing along interpersonal strings. The framework classifies behavior across four base directional mechanics—Emission (E), Absorption (A), Reflection (R), and Negation (N)—organized into two processing tiers: Model 1 (16 Automatic/Sequential stress-routing circuits) and Model 2 (11 Manual/Modular mood-gated switchboards), totaling 27 distinct social topologies. Furthermore, this work formalizes six operating laws governing directional string tension, thermodynamic conservation across three internal sinks (Cognitive, Somatic, Kinetic), acoustic reflection decay, and biological override thresholds under sleep deprivation and acute stress, accompanied by a dual-mode field diagnostic protocol.
