Structural Risk Analysis

Demographic pressure, narrative fragility, cultural memory. 25-100 year half-lives.

SELECT CONFLICT FOR DEEP ANALYSIS

Select a conflict above to view 5-paragraph structural risk analysis

THEORY

Asymmetric Decay: Tactical signals fade in days/weeks. Sociological structures persist decades. A ceasefire reduces tactical weight to 10% in 30 days. Cultural memory remains at 95%+.

Latent Conflict: High structural risk + low tactical weight = dormant but primed. Armenia at day 90: 15% tactical, 99% memory, will reignite with trigger.

Youth Bulge: Median age <25 + birth rate >4.0 creates structural unemployment. State cannot absorb cohort. Violence becomes employment.
