Abstract: Building upon the 5-tier information-axiomatic meta-metaphysical architecture (TIPAM) established in [Treatise I], this paper constructs an applied socio-political philosophical framework that elucidates the dynamics by which social systems are constructed and corrupted in human society, which is a multi-agent system. This study establishes a 22 social system matrix by orthogonally crossing the establishment methods of state institutions (rationalism versus empiricism) and the prescriptions of the human subject (idealism versus materialism), and proves that the system's descent into the fourth quadrant (totalitarianism) is driven by the mutual feedback loops of four gravitational drivers: the fear of survival, the messiah complex, existential anxiety, and constructivist hubris. Furthermore, this study rigorously distinguishes between the "temporary and dogmatic axiomatic selection" of authoritarianism and the "enforced absolute good" of totalitarianism, tracing the completion process of a novel form of totalitarianism wherein the hierarchy of the ethical-aesthetic three-stage spectrum (enforced order—reciprocal contract—aesthetic subjectivity) collapses due to ideological runaway and the "dogmatization of deconstruction (tribal dogmatism)" spawned by postmodern relativism, thereby invading even the individual's soul. Finally, this study redefines a republic as the "blanking of ideologies" and democracy as a "technical rule-of-law procedural apparatus," presenting an existential alternative for an open society where individuals restore their aesthetic subjectivity and autonomy as sovereign subjects.
