Meanings and Fields

This monograph develops a unified framework for the analysis of human action by introducing a field-theoretic representation of decision, meaning, and interaction. The central claim is that action cannot be adequately described as the outcome of a function or a discrete choice, but must instead be understood as a trajectory within a structured field of possibilities. The framework builds on and extends the insights of “Operant Response Theory of Social Interactions”, which introduced a dynamic perspective on behavior based on reinforcement processes. While that approach captures local adaptation, it lacks a representation of global structure. The present work generalizes this perspective by embedding local dynamics within a global geometric framework.
