Why We Exist

Toward Sociom 

The Earth we live on maintains a delicate equilibrium as a convergent ¹⁾   system. However, human societies are structured around divergent ²⁾  social systems, becoming fragmented and unstable. The Sociom Research Institute is dedicated to building convergent social systems through identifying and establishing social axioms.

¹⁾, ²⁾ Here, convergent and divergent refer to systemic properties related to stability and instability, not to uniformity or diversity of opinions.  

What is Sociom?

Truth Given by Life

Sociom refers to social axioms ¹⁾ that are what we live by before arguing. We use axiom in the same sense as in logic, mathematics, and the sciences: a principle that is self-evident, accepted without proof, and foundational to further reasoning. Hence, Sociom is different from the term used in sociology, which refers to generalized beliefs or perceptions about people and social entities.

¹⁾ Individual Sociom or social axioms are identified within knowable domains, referring to epistemic boundaries of observability rather than cultural, temporal, or group-specific variation.

Our Orientation

Nature, Humanity, and Harmony

We seek coexistence among people and between nature and humanity, guided by balance, sustainability, and harmony. We identify social axioms by examining the natural rules of existence within the limits of our knowledge, deliberately ruling out speculation.

Being Here — Before Why.

Sociom is not a religion, ideology, or moral doctrine. It does not prescribe beliefs or rank groups. It identifies the social axioms that already exist—buried beneath the noise of argument—that make coexistence possible before affiliation and debate.
