Mathematical simulation of ethnic processes (Q1374905)

I attempt to describe ethnic processes mathematically on the basis of \textit{L. N. Gumilev's} propositions [Ethnogenesis and biosphere. (Russian) Leningr. Gos. Univ. (1989)]. According to Gumilev, an ethnos is ``a human group formed on the basis of an original behavioral stenotype. This group exists as an energy system (structure) that opposes itself to all other similar groups, proceeding from the sense of complimentarity''. Complimentarity is a ``a sense of subconscious mutual sympathy between individuals that specifies the division into kindreds and aliens''. The main concepts and results of Gumilev's work are associated with passionarity -- a dynamical characteristic of the behavior of individuals of an ethnic system. In particular, according to Gumilev, a passionary impulse of behavior in an individual is a behavioral impulse that is directed against a personal or specific instinct for self-preservation; passionarians are individuals whose passionary impulse of behavior dominates over the instinct for self-preservation; a passionary field is a field associated with the presence of biochemical energy; and an ethnic field is a field of behavior and attractivity of the members of an ethnic system that arises form the passionary field. I propose the formalization of the concepts of an ethnic field, passionarity, a passionary field, and the dynamical relationships between these concepts by the equation of ``motion''.
