This project brings together social scientists and engineers to develop a predictive theory of social organization, as a conglomerate of mating flows that morph in time to flow more easily (people. goods, money, information). A team of Duke social scientists and engineers will explore a series of topics that will define a new research direction: the constructal theory of social dynamics. Examples are the multi-scale (organized) distribution of living settlements, the occurrence of multi-scale flow structure inside each settlement, 'development' as the relation between fast-flowing societies and advancement and wealth, migration patterns, and globalization. The team will organize a 2-year faculty/graduate student seminar with speakers from the US and abroad on social organization theory. The team will write the first papers on the constructal theory of social dynamics, and will define the research area that should be explored with greater force in the future. Funds are requested for the work of organizing the seminar, and for travel and lodging for the 12 speakers over the two years.

这个项目将社会科学家和工程师聚集在一起，开发一种社会组织的预测理论，作为一种随时间变化而更容易流动的交配流的综合。货物、金钱、信息)。一个由杜克大学社会科学家和工程师组成的团队将探索一系列主题，这些主题将定义一个新的研究方向：社会动力学的建构理论。例如，居住聚落的多尺度（有组织的）分布，每个聚落内部多尺度流动结构的出现，“发展”作为快速流动的社会与进步和财富之间的关系，移民模式和全球化。该团队将组织一个为期两年的教师/研究生研讨会，邀请来自美国和国外的演讲者就社会组织理论进行讨论。该团队将撰写关于社会动力学建构理论的第一篇论文，并将确定未来应该更大力探索的研究领域。请拨经费用于组织讨论会的工作，以及12名发言者在两年内的旅费和住宿费。
