The domain concerning the processes through which personal civilisations, circle civilisations, social relations and institutions influence one another and change over time.
- Explanation. Change at one level may create tensions or changes at another. Social processes are therefore reciprocal and recursive rather than simple linear chains of cause and effect. The domain also concerns conditions of stability, since stability itself depends on relationships that may change.
