I am posting this to see if anyone else had heard of something like it.
I’ve been studying human behavior informally for about 15 to 20 years. About 9 years ago when I reached college and came to enjoy algebra, I could see people behaving in common patterns and came to the conclusion that human behavior was somewhat algebraic. Now in my thirties, I’ve come up with this thing I call “Human Society Behavior Dynamics Algebraâ€. Essentially the idea is that human behavior on the societal level can be predicted and/or manipulated once the behavior pattern contained in historical records is adequately understood. Just like numerical algebra, you could take what has happened in the near past and calculate the approximate outcome of the near future. You could also start with a future and your present and calculate what approximate events and decisions need to occur to reach the desired future.
Of course the entirety of human history is too large for the human mind to contain and process, but a supercomputer could. I could see such a computer being a pivotal part in guiding a Technocratic Government. I see government decision makers comparing and debating computer projections and recommendations.
I would be interested in seeing any websites on this subject matter or just your thoughts on it.

History is inherently repetitive, thus the highest achievment humans may reach on their own is to chose which part of history repeats.
What the heck, let the machines take over. they can't screw things up worse than we have.
