Dynamic-strategy theory (DST) is a realist general dynamic theory developed inductively by Graeme Snooks in The Dynamic Society (1996) and Ark of the Sun (2015).^[1] The DST was constructed to explain the fluctuating fortunes of both life and society over the past 4,000 million years.^[2] It also offers an explanation for the great biological and technological paradigm shifts throughout time, and predicts the exhaustion of the present industrial technical paradigm and its replacement with the imminent solar technical paradigm. Over the past 40 years the DST has been applied to many species, societies, intellectual issues; and has contributed to debates on the singularity and role of Big History.^[3] In November 2024 the dynamic-strategy theory was employed to chart a Strategic Roadmap to Make America Great Again.^[4]

The distinguishing features of DST are its endogenous and demand-side characteristics. The dynamic-strategy theory consists of the following four interacting factors:

the driving force of individual organisms to survive and prosper - called "strategic desire" - which provides the theory's self-starting and self-sustaining character
the four "dynamic strategies" - genetic/technological change, family multiplication (procreation and migration), symbiosis/commerce, and conquest - which are employed by organisms to achieve their objectives
the "strategic struggle" through which organisms attempt to gain or retain control of the sources of prosperity
the constraining force of "strategic exhaustion" (not natural resource exhaustion, which is technology dependent), which leads to the stagnation and collapse of societies, species, and technological paradigms

While this system is endogenously determined, it is subject to exogenous shocks, both physical and biological, that impact randomly, unsystematically and marginally. In this dynamic model, species, dynasties and biological/technological paradigms collapse not due to exogenous shocks but to endogenous strategic exhaustion.^[5]
