That&#x27;s pretty negative. Some parts of society are constrained by physics e.g. energy, food, transportation.<p>Engineering has a thing called &#x27;control volumes&#x27;, where you draw circles (volumes actually) around a system, and measure inputs and outputs. They must balance for a steady state to be achieved. Maybe by measuring things that actually matter (instead of for instance completely imaginary point systems like money or votes) we could constrain society to at least be stable.
