Human societies are living systems with definable boundaries, structures and processes. Like weather systems, societal systems have chaotic dynamics that develop and change within predictable parameters. In both cases an understanding of past patterns can help us forecast probable futures.

Time-Space-Technics (TST) is the first study to apply evolutionary systems theory to history in order to model societal dynamics. It explains how societal systems are organized by world-views (views of reality), and how they maintain themselves in relationship to their environments. TST also explains the factors that cause them to change and eventually either collapse or evolve.

In particular, TST explains why industrial civilization first emerged in Europe, and why it must either evolve into a sustainable system in the coming decades or collapse.
