[BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY]
This first part of the strategic analysis of the Mathematics of History of Dr. Alejandro Deulofeu, constituted my thesis when I was a student at the Superior War School of Paris, being for me an honor to have had 106 French Officers as co-disciples and one officer for every country as follows: The United States, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Spain, Belgium, Switzerland, Greece, Israel, Turkey, Iran, Thailand, Cambodia, South Africa, Peru, Brazil and Argentina.
Then, in May of 1963, leaving the normal road of these academic school assignments, the thesis was studied by an organism higher than the Institute, in addition to having been read by Monsieur Le Ministre des Armées (Minister of Defense), which was a great honor for me.
It woke up such an interest, that I was asked for the French publication and it was delivered to the United States of America in July, 1963.
With pleasure I met requests from interested parties from various countries of Europe, Asia, North and South Africa, once this first part was edited in Spanish as a supplement to the magazine of the Armed Forces of Venezuela (August, 1964).
The Strategic Interpretation of the Mathematics of History, is the first synthesis of this nature that is done in the world of the mathematics of history (The Law of History), that was discovered by Dr. Deulofeu, a native of Catalonia, Spain. During five years at the Montpellier University (France), in history courses and assignments, he began these studies, on a different road from that taken by other historians, who, in general, conclude that starting from stone age man, humanity has been following a painstaking uphill road in order to reach levels that are increasingly higher through diverse civilizations.
They have also not given attention to the time factor, accepting that this process does not obey fixed and determined laws either in their evolution or in the time to execute it. They have concluded that human evolution cannot be measured nor is it predictable, that the factors that govern the process can vary at a given moment and change the direction of the evolution of nations and that, whether or not an exceptional man appears, it can change the course of history at any time.”
“With such conceptions it is impossible to reach an historical synthesis: man is the only one responsible for his acts, it is he who decides the future and the sense of history. It is not determined but subject to unexpected changes.”
“These basic ideas are the ones that have generally presided historical studies and have lead to certain conclusions that make human history a true chaos. Discord has been seen where there is perfect harmony, liberty or action where everything is subject to the laws, chaos has been seen where perfect order governs.”
“The conclusions of the Mathematics of History are totally opposed to those of the historians and philosophers who have preceded us” exposes Dr. Deulofeu. “Humanity does not follow a constantly ascending road, it instead follows an oscillating process; these oscillations lead to the creation of great civilizations that fall in order to be substituted by other new ones and that they are not developed arbitrarily or have a variable duration, but rather appear at the precise moment, and develop following the same phases, employing therefor the same space of time, that there is nothing indeterminate in the human process but everything obeys a mathematical precision. That humanity does not progress but simply goes through phases of maximum civilization followed by others of minimum civilization and so forth, notwithstanding that between these peaks and valleys remarkable differences are indicated where the degree of progress and culture is concerned”.
