Post-Social Human Condition Framework

The Post-Social Human Condition Framework

A multidimensional assessment of lived experience, designed to compare eras without confusing capability with human outcome.

The Human Condition Fingerprint

The Human Condition Score is derived from ten structural dimensions: Survival, Home, Work & Finance, Education, Agency, Relationships, Community, Time, Technology and Wellbeing.

The Lifestyle Expectation Index measures what people considered a normal or acceptable standard of living within their own era. It explains why objective improvements do not always produce greater satisfaction.

The Friction Reduction Index measures how much unnecessary effort technology, infrastructure and systems removed from everyday life.

Comparison Horizon measures the breadth of the people against whom individuals compare themselves. In 1930 this was largely local. By 2025 it had become global and algorithmically amplified.

Together, HCS, LEI, FRI and CH form the Human Condition Fingerprint. Scores are provisional, evidence-led and open to revision.
