Homeokinetics is the study of complex systems, such as galaxies, social systems, or planetary subsystems.

Division of complex systems

Complex systems are divided into atomistic-like units called "atomisms", which exist in a nested hierarchy of systems. A system is defined as a group of relatively common atomisms which are bounded above and below in the space and time domain. For instance, in the study of the universe, a person could be considered a system which is bounded in time and space, and a person's cells could be considered atomisms. Homeokinetics attempts to treat all complex systems equally, animate and inanimate, providing them with a common viewpoint. The complexity involved in learning how these systems work is reduced by the emergence of common languages in all complex systems.

Complex systems are defined by the internal exchange by their actors. In homeokinetics, the goal can be considered an understanding of what these complex internal agents are doing.

Using the principles of homeokinetics

At least two scientists are needed to employ the principles of homeokinetics; one expert in physics and irreversible thermodynamics, and one trained in "flatland" science.
