| contents | <p><span>This paper introduces the Civilization Integrity Index (CII), a quantitative framework designed to measure the balance between stored systemic capacity and extraction dynamics as a determinant of societal stability.<br><br>It operationalizes civilizational performance as a ratio between Stored Capacity (institutional trust, human capital, infrastructure, innovation) and Extraction Load (corruption, inequality, instability, and systemic inefficiency).<br><br>The framework uses proxy-based indicators across multiple domains to construct a prototype dataset, demonstrating clustering of countries into high-integrity, transitional, and extraction-dominant systems.<br><br>It identifies preliminary threshold effects, suggesting instability below certain CII levels and improved coordination capacity above others, providing a basis for comparative and predictive analysis.<br><br>Positioned as a proof-of-concept model, the work contributes to systems science and political economy by offering a structured approach to quantifying systemic resilience, institutional performance, and long-term developmental trajectories.</span></p> |
