A metahistorical information theory of social change: an application

Abstract

In part 1 of this article a new metahistorical approach called sociohistory was created. Its aim is to explore the possibilities of tracking and explaining social change. Here, in part 2 of the article, EPI is placed in a form that enables it to be directly applied to subject societies. An example is an application to the sociohistory of postcolonial Iran, that some would say presages the rise of Islamic fundamentalism.
