Abstract
Presents a view of the combinations of the levels of social, political , economical cultural and technological (SPECT) factors at different p oints in time pertaining to a human society (or a country) to gain a p erspective of the development process. In this direction, a system cal led SPECT has been recognized in the form of a cybernetic system which is defined by the elements of which it is composed, and by the mutual relations among them. In the broad sense, a set defines the levels of input elements of SPECT factors at a particular point in time; and an other set includes the rules of operation, inter-relationships and its relationship with the external environment. Further, considers a coup ling between two SPECT systems in respect of the two societies (or cou ntries) and the vector space properties used for their analysis.
