sociophysics

sociophysics
 n.— «I’m not the only person to think of using spin waves to model crowd behavior; there is an entire field generally referred to as “Sociophysics” which uses them. I originally read about it years ago in a book called Synergetics by Hermann Haken (a book which has been formative in my way of looking at the world).» —“Music, Molecules, Misanthropy” by lupoleboucher The Butcher’s Block June 22, 2006.
