The “People” in the Salaam Matrix
Since the Salaam Matrix is designed as a fairly neutral and inert model, its study of and usage by humans can be applied to:
- Persons and Individuals – real, fictional or ideal (as the case may be)
- Groups, Clusters, Formations – in neighborhoods, families and lineages, tribes and clans, races and bioregional groups, migrants and transients, nations and specie.
- Scattered Formations: Harder to study than groups and persons, non-structured and scattered populations in a study can still be analyzed with the Matrix, with application of appropriate statistical analysis tools
BONUS: The Curious Case of Non-Human Populations
For the creative individual who may want to use anthropic tools to study non-human zootic populations, the tool may still surprisingly yield results. That would be an anthropomorphic application of the tool.
We may even study a society of created populations, such as… robots; though this is an edgy application of the model. Since the model is also applicable in fictional literature scenarios, it may be used to describe alien or wizard and other humanoid populations in the fictional world. The generative applications of the Matrix are only limited by the imagination of the user.
Ramala Hubb’Allah believes that approach is not illegitimate. Each observing specie sees the world through its own spectrum, bias and projection. Studies hint that cats perceive human faces as cat-like!
