Jiang Xueqin's Frameworks
Professor Jiang doesn't forecast by gut feeling — he reasons from a stack of explicit, reusable frameworks. This is a visual guide to the big ones: his named Laws of Game Theory and the civilizational models he returns to again and again. Each page traces the idea to its source lecture and links the live predictions it generated.
The Laws of Game Theory
Jiang's explicitly named “laws” — a parent Universal Law and four corollaries that, together, generate most of his war forecasts.
The Universal Law of Game Theory
Win = Mass × Energy × Coordination
The Law of Asymmetry
An empire's strengths become its fatal weaknesses.
The Law of Escalation
Control beats dominance — calibration wins wars.
The Law of Eschatological Convergence
Where the world's end-time stories agree, the future is written.
The Law of Proximity
The game inside a nation decides how it acts toward others.
Core Models
The recurring civilizational and strategic models he reaches for again and again across the series.
