I would like to see some work in this area.  Path dependency can be
easily interpreted along the lines of patterns of cognition, that is,
ideologies/worldviews we use to make meaning out of phenomenon on a
personal level has social correlates.  Our current system needs to be
seen as embedded in a partially deterministic web of relationships.  Our
simple cause/effect and self-deterministic models of activity do not
accurately model existence.
	
	Every action requires cognition which is selective perception and
		selective meaning.
