Social free energy was recently introduced as a measure of social action obtainable from a given social system, without changes in its structure. In this article its relation with physical free energy for a toy-model of interacting agents is analysed. Values of the social and physical free...

For an organisation with a Pareto-like distribution of the relevant resources we determine the social free energy and related social quantities using thermodynamical formalism. Macroscopic dynamics of the organisation is linked with the changes in the attributed thermodynamical quantities...

Characterisation of unbounded resources of a social system within the sociological interpretation has resulted in a large number of different notions, which are relevant in different situations. From the view point of statistical mechanics, these notions resemble free energy. In this paper the...
