1． I皿trOduCtiOm
工t is need1ess to say that in the progress and development of the human society，
science and techno1ogy bave made a great contribution in drasticany changing the structu1＝e
and course of the soρiety，which is recognized as“Technological innovation”．
Technological innovations have occurred discontinuous1y and thoroughly changed th−e social
stmcture being promoted by the economic factors，their accumu1ated and a㏄e1erated
inertia is ever more threatening the deepest roots and fundamental stmctures of our very
existence，the values of our human society and culture．
We wi11introduce thie SINIC theory−An approach to the future．
SINIC is an abbreviation for Seed−Imovation ＆ Need−Impetus Cyclic Evolution of
Technologica1innovation，being accidenta11y ana1ogous to the CYNIC theory of Greek phi−
1osophers’schoo1−the essence of virtue is se肚一。ontrol，
The SINIC theory consists of exp1oring and forecasting what society presumably，at1east
with a high plausibility，might be bound to appear，if the autonomous forces now at work
in socia1history were going to proceed in a possible，desirable and realized way．
2． ImterreIatiom Amo皿g Scie皿。e，Techno1ogy amd Socie11y−
Looking back On the history of technological innovation，it is noted that technology
makes rapid progress with great spin off heteronomous1y by receiving Seed from science
and Need from the society．WhiIe，technology．in tum causes Imovation in the society and
gives necessary Impetus to science．A㏄ording1y，the evo1utive interre1ation among science，
techno1ogy and society cou1d be understood，as shown in Fig．！，to be the Seed−Innovation
＆Need＿Impetus Cyclic Evolution of Techno1ogical innovation＿that is，the SINIC theory．

（1）Primitive society（1000M B，C．一12M B1C．），GNP per耳ead：1ess than＄50 Man
came to exist on the earth．He started to ask questions，exp1ore his enjoyment possi・
bilities and wanted to determine his own fate，while keeping the highest place of
dignity and motivation power in harmonious balance and fixed order．He surrendered
to any experience as ultimate proof of truth with everything inc1uding himse1f，
Man’s greatest scientific discovery−the use of fire and his greatest invention−1an・
guage go far back in this prehistoric time，Furthermore，bows and arrows，manufacture
of earthenware and so on were invented．
（2）Co11ective society（12M B．C．一700B．C．），GNP per head：＄50一＄100 The transition
of food gathering to food growing is the main feature of this society．That is，raising
of domestic anima1s，cu1tivation of1and，and construction of stone buildings were
introduced．The social form developed from the famiIy community into a c1an．This
change is ca11ed “Socia1ization” and the four greatest civilization rose． Exact
observation and record of nature started the primary sciences in such fie1ds as astron−
omy，mathem早tics，meta11urgy and anatomy were developed．
（3） Agricu1ture society（700B．C．一1302），GNP per head l＄100一＄170 This Period saw
widely spread agricu1ture，a rise of new commercial and industrial classes with the
appearance of monetary economy．The Athenian Civilization was at the zenith of
prosperity，when ancient science was developed amazingly since the beginning by
Tha1es in the seventh century B．C．
In addition to the Roman Civi1ization，the frequent1y undertaken crusades between
the years of Mediaeva1Age1096and1291intensified the development with such
general effects asξreater awareness of the wor1d about，the greater demand for
improved traditional technics and the increased circu1ation of coinage．
ω Handicraft society（1302−765），GNP per head：＄170一＄300 This period marks a
transition from Agricu1tura1society to Industrialization society．The inventions of a
mariner’s compass，gun powder and printing paved the way for a deve1opment of
handicraft．The Renaissance Period witnessed the deve1opment of various branches
of fundamenta1science necessary to provide techno1ogy for the next Industria1ization
SOCiety．
Leonard Da Vinch took the role of pioneer of Modern science＆Technology．And
later on，Modem science was estab1ished by Gali1ei，Newton and others．
In the meantime，after the discoveries of the New Wor1d and the Indian route，
England enjoyed the maritime suPeriority a11over the wor1d with the first modem
joint stock companies．Within the comtry，the civil revo1utions such as the Puritan
Revolution and the Glorians Revo1ution removed the restriction on Production there
before exercised by guiIds and estab1ished the freedom of the industriaI bourgeois
thereby opening the main road for capitalism．
（5〕Industrialization society（1765−1876），GNP per head： ＄300一＄700 ．The Industria1
Revolut1on（1760t01830）mvo1ved the subst1tut1on of machmery for hand too1s，the
introduction of the factory system and the rise of mass production．
As more and more manufacturers began to tum to steam power to run their
machines，the Industria1Revo1ution gained momentum，and mass production became
more preva1ent，which accelerated the growth of the moderp．capita1istic society． In
1825，the fifst cyc1ic depression occurred，that is a sign of high1y deve1oped capitalistic
society．In1857，the first financia1panic on a world−wide sca1e started．
The18th and19th centurie3saw three major revolutions，i．e，the Industria1Revo1u−
tion in England，the po1itica1revo1ution in France and the phi1osophica．1revo1ution in
Germany．
（6）Mechanization society（1876−1945），GNP per head：＄700一＄2500 ・Advances in
scientific know1edge have1ed to advances in technology．And from1870toユ920took
p1ace the2nd Industria1Revo1ution especia11y in electric power，automobi1e，machinery

and chemical industry，and in addition to the existing traditiona11ight industries，
expansion and strengthening of heavy chemica1industries were seen．The rise of
these new indus−tries resulted in the creation of mi11ions of new jobs．At the same
time in Germany，a renovation of the patent system and a systematization of educa・
tion were carried out as one program for promotion of science and techno1ogy，
which reflected the mounting competition among capitalistic comtries．Futhermore，
the research activities by giant monopo1istic enterprises gradua11y became organized・
In the United States，the Nationa1Research Counci1was established after the end
of World War I as a pemanent organ to solve various technologica1prob1ems afising
as a resu1t of the war．Under the counci1，1arge−sca1e research organizations such as
ρo11eges，state or private research ins」titutes were estab1ished．
To cope with such new development of various kinds of industria1equipment，a
new big stride in the pro墓ress of technology was essential；more precise production
techniques and mass production of machine tools．
It was for such mass production purposes that a scientific method of production
control was developed by Tai1or，Meanwhile，the way for automation was being
paved by the systematization of machine techniques and deve−opment of automatic
machines．
In the20th century，Einstein established・his mass＿energy equation，which in later
days resu1ted in technology，whereby a huきe amount of energy condensed in the form
of mass can be released．
（7）Automation society （1945−1974），GNP per head：＄2500一＄5000 Remarkab1e
techno1ogical innovations took p1ace from1940t01960，the features of which may be
summarized as follows：
（a）Growth of concentrated science type of industries（such as chemic耳1，electropics，
aerona食tics and nuclear Power industries）
（b）Wide−spread use of synthetic materials
く。）Introduction of NC（numerica1control）machine tools and e1ectronic contro1tech−
no1ogy with comPuter
（d）Deve1opment of systematic method（system engineering）
（e）Promotion of big R＆D Projects by the government
Automation which had stemmed from mechanization became widely used in indus−
tries as mechanica1automation，business automation and process automation by
means of computers having feed−back contro1function．
Economy became more and more intemationa1and the activities of world enterprises
became further intensified．And in business，the stress shifted from the conventional
stab1e market to the continuous deve1op卿ent of new products．ConsequentIy，the
concept of a business fie1d also shifted to the widest definition−a system aiming at a
function，as D Schon says，which is more particular1y described as fo11ows：
（a）Gigantic products of which number of component parts exceeds the order of105
（such aS1arge−size comPuters，jet P1anes，rockets，etc．）
（b〕System industries having compIicated sub−systems（such as educational system，
data processing system，ocean exPloitation system，city develoPment system）
（8） Cybernation society （1974＿2005），GNP per head：＄5000＿＄ユ5000 In the socia1
backgromd described−be1ow，the human beings in this society wi11be freed from
such disregard of humanity as were necessari1y fomd in Mechanization and Automa−
tion societies and will establish their subjectivity and responsibi1ity．
This wiIl be a creative period where we can find a1ife worth1iving，as follows：
（a） The importance of informational function wi11 be greatly increased resu1ting in the
enhancement of selective functio口．
（b） ApProach to and Practical aPP1ication of−quantification of eva1uation standards

that may be tentative1y ca11ed biocybemetics，i．e，bionetics．
（9）Optimization society（2005−2025），GNP per head：＄15000＿＄40000 In this society，
individual and socia1desires of men and women wi11change，and a function of finding．
out the best route to satisfy such desires win be deve1oped−
Thus，increased se1ective function for the optimal information will enab1e man to
find the most suitable and p1easant job，according to his own individual ability．
And this wi111ead to the optimization of the who1e society1Subsequent1y，a method
will be invented and put into practical use wherein an men and women（including
those whose knowledge leve11s so low as to be well rep1aced by machmes）can be
given a job which wi11 make them feel worthy mder the socia1circumstances of
ζeviving tl■e arts and crafts and of making personal services more respectable．
The individua1and the society are in what may be ca11ed a dualisdca11y monistic
relation．In terms of systematics，tota1system and the sub−system are we11 balanced
in their respective directions toward optimization．We should Iike to call this an
optima1combination of optimization．In this society，the nature of knowledge itse1f
which has passed through the preCeding Cybemation society wi11mdergo a major
change and know1edge wi11come to occupy the most important position for everybody．
Thus，the development of techniques for optimization of the entire socia1system
wi11make the who1e society more normative and with the he1p of high1y advanced
science a台d techno1ogy wi11enabIe a contro1of natura1’human environments，and
human nature itself．
Particu1arly，menta1phenomena wou1d be treated with in the fie1d of tentatively
called psycho−bionetics，i．e，Psychonetics．

The human beings who1ive in this society！are required to have undergone a rea1

wor1d where there is no real struggle for existenc・e，because through the1ong history
of mankind they have been much indebted for their progress to their resistant power
evinced・in the face of three struggles mentioned by B，Russe1；the strugg1e with

Thanks to the high1y advanced supe卜psycho1ogy and re1ated fie1ds，that may

by himself，The latter case could be dimly seen in the grown−up being ab1e to operate
with the maximum use of his power potential，part1y because he has realized its
rough1imitations．The value resides only in the creation of something new and the
members of the society will be able to1ive beyond their natural span of life．
The c1arification of the super−psychologica1phenomena wi11tremendous1y increase
the human capabi1ities and as a still higher society，a natura1society wi11be sought
after as the Utopia for mankind．By that time any temporary confusion caused by
super−techno1ogical imovations to cope with such supe卜psychologica1phenomena may
have been overcome．The technique of face−to・face communication between individuals
wi11reach the highest stage of development where they can even communicate with
each in some telepathica1mamer．
Due to such human revo1utions，the human society，emerging out of the miserable
and atrocious dark eras where ignorance and greed dominated wi11be entirely trans−
formed into a society where the wisdom and goodwi11of man prevail and peace and
human life are of supreme importance．Thus，what we can Autonomous society has
been realized．
（11）Natura1society（the future after2033） The human society wi11develop from the
vi11age community in Optimization Period to the clan in Autommous Period and
further to the family community in this Natura1society．It is noted that the form
of the human society cyc1ica11y comes back to that of−the primitive society，though
these two forms of society are on different p1anes．

In the dua1istic monistic re1ationship between mind and matter，and time and space，
vita1ity springs up and the p1easure of1ife is sought after．
As is clear from the above explanation，Autonomous society which is positioned at
the end of one cyc1e in the Cyc1ic EvoIution is now just around・the comer．
At present，such spiritua1or psycho1ogica1phenomenon as te1epathy or appearance of a
ghost is considered to be something remote from science．In the near future，however，
such phenomenon wi11present itself as a very important problem for us．Filg．’ Rshows the
ten deve1opmental stages of the society and the re1ated science and technology projected
into the future through the SINIC diagram．
4．M批hematica1Approach to Socia1Progress
41The胆。gressivo㎝岬e of s㏄iety We assume that the states of the Ten Develop・
menta1Stages of Society can be interpreted as the1evel of socia1progress being marked
off from O to1．O．Then，we get the broken line，as shown in Fig．4by taking common
1ggarithm of the years back from A．D．2033along the abscissa．
The solid curve shown in Fig．4is the first−order approximation of the broken curve and
can be represented by the fo11owing equation．

（3） when in」f1ection point，T＝1，945，P＝O．6．
We shall discuss a few points about the pattem of social progress shown in Fig．4．
Firstly，we might reasonab1y expect th盆t the social progress is controlled−by some“1aw
of nature”The two m1tla1cond1tlons for the pattem of soc1a1progress m1ght be the man，s
basic．desire for higher standards of1iving and his use of tools．The 1atter evo1ved so
remarkab1y in the form of technoIogy as to threaten even the d−eepest f00ts and fmdamental
structures of our very existence，the va1ues of our buman society and cu1ture．AccordiI1g1y，
so1ong as the two initial conditions are maintained without any change，the future society
after A．D．2033might be rather stagnating．That wi11be mathematica11y demonstrated
1ater．
Secondly，the progress rate dカ／励 can be obtained by using the change rate of socia1
progress6P／dT and T＝1og1o古，that is，
。ap 6p 6τ 0．4343 aP
＝ ・ ＝ 一 （2）
励 6丁 励 K dT−
where K＝10T，the time−sca1e factor，that is the factor of acce1erating the socia1change
asτbecomes smalIer with calender time．
Therefore，the progress rate”ノ励might be defined tentative1y as the“apparent progress
rate of society”，corresPonding to the“qualitative change rate of society” aP／6T that can
be measured independently of the time−sca1e factor K in the semi−log graphきhown in Fig．4．
It should be noted that
at T＝0，il e． A．D．2032， K＝1．
then，
6P 6P
＝04343 ｛3）
批 ’ ゴT
Third1y，at the inf1ection point（T＝1，945，P＝O．6）the qua1itative change rate of society
becomes the maximum．亘ence，it may be interpreted as｛o11ows：It was on the advent of
Automation society around A．D．1945that the most advanched society at that time was
subjected to the biggest qua1itative change in the pattern of social prog1；ess of the type．
4．2S㏄ia1Pm駆ess and I㎜o柵tivemss Man’s desire takes an important role parti㎝一
1ar1y in the relationship between the society amd techno1ogy．
From the SINIC diagram shown in Fig．2，the fo11owing fmctional relationships can be
obtained：
P＝九（∫，T） （4）
6P
ト九（P・・π1γ） （1）
∂P
π一九（Pl∫・γ・T） （1）
where P is the leve1of social Progress，∫is the Ieve1of innovativeness，T is the lgga−
rithm of the years back from A．D．2033，andγis the progress−oriented vo1ition．
Hereby，the innovativeness may be defined as the degree of innovating society through
Techno1ogical Innovation，Social Revolution，Cultural RevoIution and Consciousness Revo1u・
tion，i．e．the degree of progress feasibility of society．
And the Progress−oriented volition is genera11y raised by the higher level of achievement
motivation，which is actua11y a fmction of changing economic，socia1and religious con・
ditions in the culture．
In order to evaluate∫mathematica1Iy，the fo11owing hypotheses have been on the basis

request of their fellow members of the Bund der Kommunisten（Communist League）and
published in London a few weeks later．
It is primari1y a propaganda documement ca11ing for action and was issused just on the
eve of the revolutions which swept Europe in1848fo11owed by1arge−scale outflows of brain
from EuroPe to tbe Unit♀d States・

Then，interpreting from出e above−mentioned historica1affairs that−the qualitative change

It could be said that with its ever−increasi莇g rate of change，the apparent progress rate
becomes maximum aromd Al D．203ユ，steeply fa11ing off afterwards partIy because of the
dec1ine of innovativeness after A．D，2024for F＝O．5．
But，the higher the sPeed，energy，imPulse，frequency and intensity of its innovative

the coI1cePts of a probabiIistic distribution and a noise factor should be introduced for

Fig．9 Dualistic evo1ution curve of society
Fina11y，the graph of the qua1itative change rate of society shown in Fig．7could be
assumed to be the matter−oriented evol・ution curve of society with its maximum value at
A．D．1945．
Accordingly，we can get the“Dua1istic Evo1ution Curve of Society”as shown in Fig．9，
that for♀casts the gradua1shift of society from the“Matter Wor1d”to the“Mind World”
corresp㎝ding to the West and the East，respectively．
Further，we suppose that the1ine of MODERATION wou1d indicate the situation of Japan
that has been taking the middle−of−the−road course，and wi11be，as a“Bridge of Progress
and Hamony”between the臨st and the West．

5． ConcIusion
The SINIC theory is an approach to the futlユre through normative and mathe㎡atical
analysis of the process of innovation ranging a11 the way from technological advances to
socio−economic changes and man’s motivation with such parameters as Factor of Progress
Feasibility and Psychological Factor．
The pattern of socia1progress was revea1ed，according to the SINIC theory，to be an
exponenticaI growth curve on the digitalized scale of socia1development from the prehistoric
era to A．D．2033，that was initia11y conditioned by human use of tools and his desire for
higher standards of living，and contro11ed qua1itatively by the innovativeness of society on
the“time phase”of time−sca1e factor．
A㏄ording to the Marxian genera1theory，a11history is a history of c1ass strugg1e，and
a11historical changes are u1timately determined by changing reIations of production due to
changes in technica1conditionsl
In correspondence with this，we could rather say that all history is a histo士y of raising
GNP per head，and a11historica1changes are u1timate1y determined by the imovativeness
of society，which is spurred by the deve1opment of techno1ogy．
In order to make certain of even−progressing society，the pursuit of rationa1ity should be
conducted so as to raise“menta1productivity”as wen as“materia1productivity”．Because
the pursuit of“real”rationality means approaches from the dual sides．
Therefore，it should a1so be emphasized that the“Dua1istic EvoIution Curve of Socieキy”
obtained as in Fig．9is nothing but the nature as it is，tempered with the dual sides．
