One of the main problems that came with independence was a failure to have a mathematical model that could apportion responsibilities and power along lines similar to those of most ancient Kingdoms and chieftaincies. BTW, it can be shown that most African kingdoms were similar to Plato's ideal state.

But there is hope because traditional cultures were based on mathematical models that can be modified.

As such, there exists a science, art and economy called 'African socialism'. The idea then is accessing and elaborating on these (this) science(s).

Ancient cultural behaviors can be taken as design models for contemporary use. For example, ancient institutions allowed for relevant initiates to have Capital, and their work was closely monitored for optimization. Why can't this happen with respect to the unemployed youth?

If an economy can be modeled, then we can model an expanding economy that creates new markets, products, and welfare at a constantly expanding rate. And all would be happy because we'd be having the economic model under control.

Therefore, let us awaken our scholarly lives and work this thing out together...

There is no mathematical model to work out and account for human behavior and free will. None. That's how the soviet union fell and disintegrated thinking central planning can work.

Traditional cultures were based on subsistence living, superstition and isolationism. Could not survive contact with other societies

There's nothing like African socialism. That was BBI nonsense of the 60s from leaders who didn't have ideas to bring prosperity to their societies.

African cultural behaviors are irrelevant for the challenges of today and tomorrow. They weren't that useful in the past either. That's why they were discarded.

Economy models are just that-models. They don't work in the real world with irrational human behaviour and black swan events.

Fortunately for us, we can design an experiment or experiments to show the computational nature of human behavior at any instance. I hope that all will be well and the research will be completed.

Meanwhile, a relevant literature review will show that humans are behave via computable mechanisms. My favorites entail the presence of bio-photons, their following of Bose-Einstein statistics, and finally, the formation of electron pairs. Combined with the human anatomical structure and function as understood from Egypt to precolonial times, it follows that there exists a computational field shared by agents. This field is also known as the Mind.

Traditional practice is replete with evidence for the use of this field. This field and relations there in are reduced to 'African Socialism'. It was used in traditional Africa and the evidence is in Cultural practice.

For example, it has been argued that the traditional African had no religion, and all he cared for was 'force' and the application of force (Mbiti, Tempels, et al).

What you people call superstitions can in fact be viewed as computational reiterations that work so much like quantum computers. Others are things we may not understand due to distortions in contexts of analysis. As an experiment: mention one superstition and I will attempt to decode it for you.

Cultures and peoples have shared memories and ideas. How can such complex information be exchanged, to the exclusion of others? The simplest answer I can think of, is that cultures are in fact frequency bands that are differentiated from others.

Myth, ceremony, institutions, are markers also on a psycho-physical plane that activate, regulate and sustain the energy levels. Such drift of thought can be seen in accounts of Pythagoras giving advice to a certain city.

Pythagoras knew that all was number. Therefore even the temples were according to number...
