Our Mission

Toward Sociom 

Sociom refers to social axioms—the fundamental principles of our coexistence. Quite simply, it is what to live by before arguing. When Sociom is obscured, social bonds weaken. We are here to bring it back into view.

On the Meaning of Sociom

In Sociom Research Institute Inc., the term axiom is used in its established sense in logic, mathematics, and the sciences: a principle that is self-evident, accepted without proof, and foundational to further reasoning. In this respect, sociom differs from sociological usages of the term, which often refer to generalized beliefs or perceptions about people and social entities. Sociom focuses on axioms as conditions of coexistence rather than as expressions of subjective or relative belief. 

Our Orientation

Living in Harmony

Sociom Research Institute Inc. is oriented toward coexistence, in which people cooperate with one another and with the world they inhabit. Fulfillment arises not from domination or excess, but from humility and moderation.

Neutrality

Being here, we are here—before belief, doctrine, or argument.

Sociom is not an ethical system, a religious doctrine, a political ideology, or an academic theory. It does not prescribe beliefs, values, or norms, nor does it depend on cultural, racial, or historical perspectives. Sociom refers to given conditions of coexistence that precede interpretation, affiliation, and debate. Its role is not to judge, persuade, or govern, but to remain neutral and make visible what is already there. 

Motivation

The Divergent

- The Structural Fragility of Modern Systems - 

Human societies have developed countless systems—economic, political, technological, and cultural. While diverse in form, many of these systems share a common structural trait: they are divergent. As they expand, specialize, and intensify, they tend to amplify imbalance, accelerate conflict, and undermine their own stability.

Divergent systems are not inherently wrong, but they are structurally fragile. When divergence exceeds the limits of life and coexistence, systems become unstable, competitive, and explosive. History repeatedly shows that such systems cannot sustain harmony, cooperation, or continuity on their own.

Sociom Research Institute Inc. begins from this diagnosis. If human societies are to remain livable, divergent systems must be examined in relation to the conditions that allow convergence—conditions under which difference can coexist without collapse. Identifying and recognizing those conditions is the motivation for Sociom research.
