A Universal Systems Framework for Understanding Discrimination: Application to Antisemitism, Racism, Religious Conflict, and Political Extremism

Abstract This paper presents a formalized Universal Balance–Feedback Framework (UBFF) for analyzing persistent forms of human discrimination, including antisemitism, racism, religious conflict, and political extremism. Grounded in four proposed universal laws—(1) the Law of System Integrity (Karma), (2) the Universal Law of Balance, (3) the Universal Feedback Loop Mechanism, and (4) the Universal Interconnected Nodes—the framework offers both a conceptual and mathematical apparatus for diagnosing systemic societal failure. We demonstrate that large-scale discrimination and conflict emerge not from isolated individual pathologies but from identifiable structural dynamics: defective belief propagation, equilibrium breakdown, runaway reinforcing feedback, and network-level amplification. A formal dynamical model is developed, stability conditions are derived via Lyapunov analysis, and case studies are applied across four historical and contemporary domains. The framework contributes a transdisciplinary diagnostic lens with implications for conflict prevention, governance, and social policy.
