ABSTRACT
Human sciences can rarely be expressed in precise mathematics. However, quasi-mathematic notations are useful in clarification of political relationships. Our discussion so far has focused on identifying the main elements of human security. In this chapter, these elements and their relationships will be compressed into notational form, and summarized in five linked formulas. For the task of analyzing evolution of the Chinese MSNS, two of the formulas will be of greatest relevance and utility. Formulas Three and Five address the two forms of state sovereignty – actualized and claimed. To derive these notational expressions, we begin with the core human individual in raw nature.
