Applying the Quyen Doctrine: A Structural Framework of Gainsions to Colonial Structures — A Gainsional Analysis of Power Asymmetry

This working paper applies The Quyen Doctrine: A Structural Framework of Gainsions to colonial power relations, proposing a structural reinterpretation of empire, domination, and resistance. Instead of viewing colonialism through purely moral, ideological, or economic lenses, the paper analyzes it as a Gainsional system — a network of interacting biological, psychological, material, and existential drives that shape behavior and decision-making on both sides of power asymmetry. The study argues that colonial relations are externally asymmetrical but internally symmetrical in structural mechanics. Empires expand not only for material extraction but to preserve internal structural coherence, while subjugated societies resist to avoid Gainsional collapse of identity, existential agency, and socio-political integrity. Through this lens, repression and resistance are not moral opposites, but mirrored reactions to structural pressure within different positions of the same systemic architecture. The paper introduces key concepts such as Gainsional Flow, Structural Coherence, the Gainsional Knot, and the Symmetry Paradox, offering a new analytical tool to reinterpret historical colonial systems and contemporary geopolitical power dynamics. It aims to contribute to theoretical discussions in sociology, political science, philosophy of power, and post-colonial studies.
