Abstract

This paper draws primarily on the diffusions of innovations literature, especially as interpreted by Everett Rogers, to present a probabilistic, diffusions-based framework for understanding all variation within human social systems. The assumptions of this model are presented and examined individually. The resulting system has highly skewed outcomes among innovations at a given time and across long periods, with small differences at the outset explaining a broad range of differences in institutions and norms across cultures.
