Synthetic psychological environment

In a synthetic environment, Synthetic Psychological Environment (SPE) (or rules of behavior) refers to the representation (i.e. modeling) of influences to individuals and groups as a result of culture (e.g. demography, law, religion)).

Synonyms

SPE is known by many names including:

  • Cultural factors[1]
  • Cultural modeling[2]
  • Human Terrain
  • Non-kinetic Effects
  • Political, Military, Economic, Social, Information, and Infrastructure (PMESII)[3]

Models

A few models that represent aspects of SPE are:

gollark: Just scoop up all the sand from a big desert and dump it there. Nothing could go wrong.
gollark: I thought they'd said something about it being too dangerous. Wonder what changed.
gollark: XML, so it's more horrifying now.
gollark: ```Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn</name><description>After discarding all his followers, Nyarlathotep sought to enslave the universe. Set against the backdrop of classic Greek mythos, our story follows investigators as they battle the elder god and his servant Cthulhu in the island of Santorini. </description><scriptName>Nyarlathotep1.sc</scriptName><issues> </issues><storyDescription></storyDescription><missionId>NKY1</missionId><played>false</played><adminToPlay>false </adminToPlay><percentageComplete>75</percentageComplete><designerInitials>MW</designer```
gollark: I kind of want to feed some of the Antimemetics Division SCPs in to see what it makes of those.
