It seems to me intuitively odd to describe an economic reproduction process mathematically as a "mapping" relationship or a morphism. Presumably it is some kind of "iterative" relationship.
I assume that you try to model, that there exists a system of which elements are variable across time, although the structure of the system is preserved across time? It looks prima facie like that you are an Althusserian Marxist, in the sense of denying there are "goals" in capitalism, such as moneymaking, because that would commit the sin of "teleology" and "historicism". Thus, there is only a continuing totality of structured structures, in which human beings are the abstract appendages. Continuity and change are then explained in terms of the realignment of various structures. The question then is, what exactly is the use of this astronomically super-abstract picture? What is the explanans and the explanandum? If Marxism is the answer, what is the question? J.
