"Sociorelatology: The Science of Friends, Foes, and the Spaces Between" emerges as a revolutionary and scholarly exploration of this intricate landscape, offering an unprecedented academic study that meticulously dissects the dynamics of social relationships.
This groundbreaking work introduces the field of Sociorelatology, a novel discipline dedicated to the systematic study of social bonds, their influence on human development, and the underlying science of friendships. By integrating theoretical frameworks, original mathematical constructs, and philosophical insights, this book redefines our understanding of friendships through an interdisciplinary approach that bridges philosophy, mathematics, psychology, and sociology.
Within its meticulously structured chapters, this book presents:
•Theoretical Foundations: Introducing groundbreaking theories such as the Friend Paradox Theorem, the Friendship Equation of Reciprocity, and the Illusion of Proximity Principle.

•Diagnostic Frameworks: Unveiling original conditions and syndromes such as Chronorelatopathy and Reciprocitis Deficiency Syndrome.
•Quantitative Metrics: Presenting the Sociorelatology Index, a new metric for measuring friendship value through key dimensions such as authenticity, loyalty, and emotional return on investment.
•Philosophical Insights: Delving into the philosophy of friendlessness, emphasizing the power of solitude, self-sufficiency, and the cultivation of intentional relationships.
•Ethical Considerations: Examining the moral responsibilities involved in maintaining or dissolving friendships, and the impact of digital connectivity on social bonds.
