Principles of Economic Behavior Quantum introduces Economic Behavior Theory (EBT)-an original framework that reimagines economic activity not as the aggregate choices of rational agents, but as a measurable, physics-like system governed by testable laws. At its foundation is the Economic Behavior Quantity (EBQ), a discrete, quantifiable unit of economic action built from the Economic Behavior Element (EBE) and linked into Economic Behavior Chains (EBC) that trace how value and decisions propagate through real economic systems.
The book situates this framework within a Triple-Space model (physical, information, and cognitive space), offering a unified way to describe how behavior moves between the physical marketplace, the digital/informational layer, and cognitive decisions.
Rather than staying purely theoretical, the book grounds every major claim in extensive empirical work-most notably a detailed case study validating the framework against China’s digital economy, alongside spatial economic analysis of cities as physical gathering points of economic behavior.
Written by a physicist-turned-economist with a background advising international science and technology policy bodies, this treatise offers economists, quantitative researchers, policy analysts, and digital-economy practitioners a rigorous, physics-inspired lens for understanding economic behavior in an increasingly algorithmic age.
