Principles and Implications of Authoritarianic Effect

If the word seems new to you, or if you find it extraordinarily difficult to digest, please don't bother worrying about your sanity. Keeping the cake away from plagiarism, I think of Authoritarianic effect more like the dynamic patterns and schemes of change in any given system in the presence of some 'authority', or something higher as in some selected hierarchy, which would otherwise be subtle. Please note that the authoritarianic effect is more to do with the philosophical musings of a 16 year old kid on psychology. Ideas presented might sound pretty immature, and are subject to future refinements/redefinitions.

The authoritarianic effect (a-effect / a-theory for short) is controlled by an assortment of triggers and parameters. The magnitude of dynamic changes introduced may differ substantially from system to system, depending upon two critical parameters: first of which being the degree of (absolute) asymmetry. The magnitude of corresponding changes varies directly with the degree of initial asymmetry. The next, but equally crucial parameter appears to be the initial (relative) position of a system(s) on a scale (which further dictates the scheme of proportionality).

As of today, the 9th of January 2010, the best specimen for observation would be my very school; the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA for short) is expected to commence a general, but rated inspection. The a-effect must depend on the two parameters mentioned afore: First, the absolute degree of asymmetry. As many would agree, the school (as a whole) isn't very coordinated with the standards (and policies) promised, which would certainly translate higher degrees of asymmetry. Second, the relative position. It's relative position (in the domain of established educational facilities) tips higher than what conventions must permit. The latter would, in this case, imply a more dynamic degree of changes incorporated, and the former would, as expected, add more to it. Put in another way, the a-theory projects explicitly altered codes and conduction mechanisms.

Corresponding observations are anticipated to place a-theory under direct and convincing scrutiny. Observations and inferences shall be recorded and published in the very same post. Please view the same, time and again to track further progress/development.
