Sociom - Toward Social Axiom

We are decoding the DNA of social harmony.

Our society is becoming increasingly complex. Although efforts to reduce conflicts are growing, coordination costs continue to rise.

Why does this keep happening?

Sociom Research Institute Inc. begins with this question. Rather than attempting to solve these problems immediately, we first study why society behaves the way it does.

Sociom refers to social axioms necessary for coexistence. It is not a belief system or ideology, but a set of shared principles that enable people with different perspectives to reduce conflict and live cooperatively. The aim of Sociom is not to change individual beliefs, but to identify the minimal shared foundations required for sustainable coexistence. 

The Earth operates in a delicate equilibrium. In human societies, however, the conflicts arising from different rules and systems have intensified. If this situation persists:

• social costs increase

• cooperation becomes more difficult

• systemic instability grows

Sociom Research Institute Inc. seeks to identify the structural causes of these recurring problems and aims to support the development of more stable and sustainable social systems.
