Where:
1,2,3>0 are coefficients representing responsiveness to voter behavior, material incentives, and ethical constraints.
Ap[0,1] denotes the degree of legislative arrogance or neglect.
3. Democratic Degradation Dynamics ()
Democratic degradation aggregates micro- and meso-level effects, including voter rationalization (), legislative behavior (), and social norm reinforcement ():
\frac{dD}{dt} = \gamma_1 A_r + \gamma_2 A_p + \gamma_3 S_\text{meso} - \gamma_4 J
Where:
1,2,3,4>0 quantify contributions from individual behavior, legislative response, social networks, and counterbalancing justice perception.
D[0,1] reflects macro-level democratic degradation.
4. System Stability Dynamics ()
System stability depends on the trade-off between monetary incentives () and perceived justice (), modulated by the level of democratic degradation ():
