Global Politics Between Diffusion Theory and Electronic Structure   Capt Mohamed Hassan Al-Taher

The electronic structure is the organized distribution of electrons around the nucleus in different energy levels.

This structure is not merely a mathematical image; it reflects the fine components that determine the properties of matter and its behavior.

Electrons in their orbitals form a balanced system:

– defining chemical and physical interactions,

– and reflecting the laws of nature in their most precise form.

Diffusion theory explains how molecules or energies move through a medium. When linked to electronic structure, we find that electrons themselves are the tools of diffusion. They move, exchange, and transition between energy levels, creating dynamics similar to the movement of ideas and policies in the world.

Diffusion here is not just a physical phenomenon, but a model for understanding how values, cultures, and policies spread among nations.

The nucleus between the greatest and smallest common denominators:

The nucleus is the center of gravity, and it is:

– the greatest common denominator that unifies the electronic structure. Yet it also

– carries within it the smallest common denominator, the fine details that define differences between elements.

This balance between the whole and the part resembles global politics, where major powers (the greater denominator) exist, but small details (the lesser denominator) determine the course of events. Fire may come from a tiny spark; though its discovery changed human life, human instability and neurotic tendencies altered the nature of discovery into burdens of misuse.

The phrase “a burden in gravity” can be understood as symbolic of electronic structure:

– the burden is the heavy load carried by the nucleus and electrons in their balance,

– while gravity is the stability that prevents the system from collapsing.

In this sense, the term reflects the idea that global politics carries burdens and responsibilities, but requires dignity and stability to avoid collapse under the pressure of interactions.

The relationship between politics and the laws of nature:

Al-Jahiz, in his book Animals, pointed to the similarity between humans and animals, and how nature imposes its laws on all. Applied to politics, we find that natural laws—such as diffusion and balance—also govern relations between states.

Just as animals strive to survive, global politics seeks survival through balance and diffusion, shaped by the psychological structure that determines outcomes according to human neurotic tendencies, defined as:

– a deviation in behavior resulting from internal or external pressure.

Global politics often deviates from its rational path due to economic or military pressures, manifesting neurotic tendencies in the form of unexpected conflicts or alliances.

This theory explains how major powers may sometimes act irrationally, driven by existential anxiety resembling neurotic anxiety, as a direct result of cultural influence—since every vessel pours out what it contains.

Global political directions through the definition of culture (if… then):

If we consider culture as a mechanism and process that produces directions and outcomes,

then global politics is a reflection of this culture.

– Culture creates values,

– values determine directions,

– and directions produce tangible results in the form of alliances, conflicts, or international cooperation.

In this sense, politics is not merely decisions, but the product of an ongoing cultural process.

Thus, global politics can be understood through the projections of diffusion theory and electronic structure, where natural laws intersect with human laws, and political directions emerge as a result of a dynamic global culture—carrying burdens in gravity, seeking balance between the greater and lesser denominators, through the law of survival. And ultimately, survival belongs to God.
