Using statistical mechanics to inspire a stable and universal functional form that evolves in time is one way to make a model of social systems. But even with that for model of the physical world, there are many possible models for control systems that could layer on top of it. If there are no shared concept types in these different models, there's nothing to do but go back to simulating the physics to determine what could happen next. Simulating these physics takes energy that is of no discernable value to users of any one model so at some point there will be conflict over that energy. The Libertarian claims that there is something in common between the users of these models, but it is nothing more than story that serves her purposes. There is no reason not to violate her sovereignty if the reward/risk is acceptable.

But the assumptions and simplifications are piling up fast. With anarcho-capitalism, I was trying to suggest a governing system that relies on as few assumptions as possible. And my sense is that social democracy relies on more assumptions (like the existence of stable functional forms).
