Social Capital Introduction, Staking a Claim

I have a concept called Social Capital I'll be introducing over the next little while. The very early introduction can be found here: http://atrium.pyropath.com/social-capital/node/291

I'm planning on running this project as transparently as possible and with as much adherence to the scientific method as possible. I want to develop a quantifiable science of social capital. Whether that is reasonable to achieve or not remains to be seen.

I'd welcome any constructive input.
