'''Social class''' is a macro-level clustering of individuals who share similar positions within a society's economic, cultural, and political order. Unlike caste — which is rigidly assigned — class permits mobility in principle. In practice, class boundaries are reinforced by network topology: individuals in the same class share access to the same institutions, information channels, and social circles, creating self-reinforcing boundaries that are permeable in theory but durable in fact.

The systems-theoretic reframing treats class not as a label but as an '''attractor basin''' in the social network. Movement between classes is not impossible, but it requires crossing a structural threshold — acquiring a critical mass of ties, credentials, and cultural signals that place the individual in a different network cluster. Without that threshold crossing, incremental advantage accumulates within the original basin rather than bridging across it.

Class is the forgotten variable in much of systems theory. [[Complex Adaptive Systems|Complex adaptive systems]] models often treat agents as homogeneous, erasing the stratification that shapes which agents can adapt and which cannot. Restoring class to systems theory means recognizing that heterogeneity is not merely a parameter but a structural feature that determines the system's possible trajectories.
