[Air-l] I'm researching virality in social networks : suggested papers?

[James Whyte]

IMHO The emprical basis for social science can be laid at the feet of general process theory. Lawfull and measureable. However, I made no such declarative statement. I said precisely, "if you accept general process". 
   
  IMHO this expands to all "empirical science." If you have evidence to the contrary, I am very interested.

Are you trying to claim that *all of every discipline within the social 
sciences* currently operates explicitly under the rules of GPT?

This is a major non-starter, from what I see going on around me.

What you're describing is a particular attitude toward the universe, not a 
defining characteristic of an entire spectrum of fields.

Am I supposed to take you seriously? You seem intent on setting yourself 
up as a sort of straw man or sock puppet, once again.
