This article aims to advance Social Relativity Theory (SRT) beyond a conceptual explanatory framework toward a Unified Theory of Structural Systems capable of systematically analyzing and designing policy-level systems. The study proposes that all systems social, economic, political, technological and energy systems can be understood through three fundamental components: Mass, Force and Structure. These components are functionally interdependent, where Structure acts as the transformation mechanism that converts Mass into observable Force while determining the system’s capacity to maintain stability. The paper extends the original SRT framework in five key dimensions. First, it introduces the possibility of quantitative measurement through proxy indices, particularly the Structural Capacity Index. Second, it incorporates contextual relativity, emphasizing that Mass and Force are not constant across time and space. Third, it integrates human agency and recursive feedback loops, allowing systems to evolve dynamically rather than operate under strict structural determinism. Fourth, it conceptualizes systemic energy loss as Social Entropy, explaining the gradual degradation of system efficiency. Fifth, it classifies structures based on rigidity, flexibility and adaptive capacity. The findings suggest that SRT has the potential to function as a unifying analytical framework bridging theory and policy design, particularly in assessing systemic risk, identifying critical thresholds and evaluating institutional capacity to absorb pressure. However, for SRT to fully achieve the status of a unified theory, it must transition from metaphorical reasoning toward predictive modeling applicable to real-world case studies and policy implementation.
