What is A Theory of Group Structures: 2 Volume Set about?
One problem that cuts across many different social sciences is theaggregation of individuals into groups. Actually, we know very littleabout how to conduct an aggregation.. Yet we humans spend most of our livesin aggregations with others. The simultaneous presence of inadequate theoryand widespread evidence of the need for such a theory is stimulating.If two persons aggregate they will presumably interact on the two halfchannels between them. If three persons aggregate they can interact on threepairs of half-channels. Four can interact on six pairs of half-channels,five on ten, six on fifteen, etc. One method for describing aggregation isto determine how and under what conditions members of an aggregation do ordo not use these available half-channels. Equivalently, one aspect of theproblem of aggregation is the development of a theory of group structures.Such a theory should dwell primarily on how and why structures change.
