Abstract:

Quantum social science (QSS) is the latest and swashbuckling progress in the genre of social science research, which got off to a start since 2013 only. This is an extrapolation of Heisenberg’s and Schrödinger’s empirical research on quantum mechanics harbouring on entanglement and complementarity principles. The present paper delves deeper into the possibility of its application in studying extension science, the realm of behavioural dynamics of technology response, networking and socialization across the planks of entanglement, complementarity and multiple reality. It also focuses lights on Schrödinger’s empiricism on super positioning of single truth with dual expression and possibilities as well. This is going to be a breakthrough conceptual revolution for elucidating technology-behaviour duality in drawing upon policy implications for both extension methods and strategy in the light of the most advanced physics of present-day civilization. The study was conducted on the technology socialization behaviour of rice, oilseeds and vegetable growers, 90 in count, in the selected locations of West Bengal, India. The study reveals the unique entanglement of response behaviour of 45 coupling farmers reigning in different locations. The complexity index, ecology entanglement index and entropy index were developed to estimate the degree of entanglement beyond the locational and geographical settings. The diode of cases was considered rather than the number of respondents. Crop ecological entanglement network; Functional ecological entanglement network had been created based on Factor Eigen Values.
