The war in Ukraine according to Aperiomics
Aperiomics is not intended to take sides in the war, or to say that any particular viewpoint is the right one. Instead it examines the interconnections between the color, and how they shape history. In that sense the Ukrainian war is a clash between four main principles that arise from nature. Because of this any color cannot dominate for long, nor can the four color principles agree. They can only argue, debate, and sometimes fight with each other for temporary dominance.
The video below is interesting, more so because it was done very early on in the Ukraine war. It illustrates the four color principles fairly well. The main point here is to show how these viewpoints were expplained at the start of the war, and how they are going since then.

Here there are four different viewpoints on the war. These are approximately the same as the four main colors in Aperiomics. Because of this they cannot come to an agreement, the main point here is how the war is seen from four viewpoints.
- The Imperial Yellow
This is the guest on the upper left, corresponding to the Yellow color in Aperiomics. This is the sign of the predator such as the lion, also this often refers to dictators and empires. They see the world as a territory, this is referred to as Green territory in Aperiomics.
A savannah or African plain would be a territory because there are no enforceable boundaries. Instead lions would establish a territory, they hold this by preying on Red animals such as zebras. That makes them stronger and so they can defend this territory against rival Yellow predators.
If they overeat the prey, then they become weaker through starvation and can be beaten by rival Yellow predators. Often then they develop a stable relationsip with their prey, not to exploit them so much they hurt themselves.
In global politics there are Yellow empires and dictatorships. They survive by preying on Red people, this makes them wealthy enough to buy weapons and defend themselves against rival empires. Sometimes they can be overrun by another empire, for example in World War One the Austro Hapsburg, German, and Ottoman Empires were beaten by the British and American empires.
As with the Yellow lions, often an empire remains strong by not over exploiting its members. For example high taxes might impoverish the people as with the French empire, leading to the French revolution. An empire can also be weakened by overreaching into a rival empire’s territory. It can then be beaten, becoming so weak it loses more of its own territory.
This happened with the German and Austro Hapsburg empires in World War one. As a result they were dismantled and dominated by the UK and American empires, for example the large Ottoman empire was broken up into smaller countries with borders designed to promote fighting between them. That allowed the British and Americans to control them, getting cheap oil.
In terms of the Yellow viewpoint, Yellow is the Russian empire. They have always been a part of the Great Game between empires, a good example of this is the famous novel Kim by Rudyard Kipling.
From this viewpoint Ukraine represents a Red prey, the Yellow Russian empire wants to regain territory in Ukraine. Because this is territory it doesn’t respect borders and property rights only who is more powerful. It runs the risk of overreaching, of being weakened so much in expanding its territory that it loses ground or even collapses.
The American empire, with allies such as NATO want to wear down the Yellow Russians by maintaining a proxy war in Ukraine. They also want to prey on the Red Ukraine resources like they did with the broken up Ottoman empire. To do this they feed in weapons to Ukraine and talk about it joining their NATO and European empire. Much of this, according to the Yellow viewpoint, was to coax Russia into ovverreaching and weakening itself.
Like in World War One, this clash of rival empires over territory has created a long grinding war similar to the trenches in France. This may continue as a war of attrition until one of the empires decides the territory is no longer profitable to hold. Currently the American and European empires are losing money from higher oil and grain prices. It may be they will reduce their support in the proxy war.
The rival narrative is that Russia is being too weakened by their overreach. They may look for face savings way to reduce their territorial ambitions, such as in capturing the Donbas and Luhansk oblasts.
2. The business Violet
This color is often associated with a wealthier Yellow, an empire as it becomes richer moves from violently holding and attacking territories to gaining them with laws and property rights. Instead of holding colonies with their militaries, they may control them with capital and owning their Green Blue resources.
The related principle to Green territory is Green Blue boundaries. Here the main principle is not violence and criminality as in Yellow, it is ownership of property where territories are divided up into separate boundaries. An example of this would be Yellow cattle ranchers, they might control a territory with their Red cattle by force of arms.
Their fenced properties might not constitute real Green Blue ownership, instead they took land owned by no one. Then they defend this from rival cattle ranchers with their guns.
As the territory became wealthier they might move to a Green Blue property based system, this is where they fence off parts of the territory and have some kind of ownership such as a title deed. Then disputes are handled more by an Indigo property based legal system. If a Violet business wants to expand then they can buy other properties instead of seizing them. Cattle might be owned and branded, they have the weight of the Indigo law instead of having to protect them with violence.
This is instead of Yellow cattle territories which are handled by an Orange sheriff. This is where no one actually owns their ranches or cattle, instead they hold these with violence. Cattle rustlers are not sued for taking property, instead they are seen as criminals. Disputes over territory were handled more with posses and guns.
In Violet then there are international treaties, also property rights of companies owning mineral resources in Ukraine and Russia. As the war turned Yellow, these Green Blue property rights were trampled. Russia simply took many Western businesses or bought them cheaply. They are also trying to take Ukrainian property owned by farmers, manufacturers, etc.
In Aperiomics this would be the conversion of Green Blue property rights into Green territory. A country’s border in Green Blue is from ownership, the government is said to own the property in this country. Citizens own other property in that border such as farms, houses, businesses, etc.
When the Green Blue property rights become Green territory, the principle is that people can take whatever cannot be defended. War becomes politics by other means, and in Aperiomics business by other means.
3. The Prey Red
In the lower left of the video, the expert sees Putin as a mafia boss, and Russia as a mafia state composed of Yellow predators. They feed off the Red poor in Russia, the state has become a kind of Yellow predatory capitalist structure that Red Marx founded communism to bring down. They try to expand this predatory business through mafia like corruption into Western countries. This is to some degree prevented by Western police in the Indigo legal system.
Because of this Red viewpoint, Russia is a Yellow predator that must be stopped like lions attacking a village. If they are allowed to continue to feed on Ukraine they will become stronger, then try to expand their territory by feeding on Europe. The goal is then to hurt Russia enough to make it withdraw.
Ideally the downfall of Putin and the predatory oligarchs would result in the Red prey of Russia getting a larger share of its resources. This is similar to some of the original goals of Marxism, to let the works overthrow predatory Yellow capitalism with violence if necessary.
While this succeeded in Russia with communism, it went too much the other way. All business was seen as predatory Yellow, to be stamped out before it got too powerful. As a result Russia stagnated.
4. The Liberal Blue
Similar to Red, the liberals evolved to protect themselves from Yellow monarchies. Now their aim is to create a society free from these Yellow predators. To do this they want to turn Ukraine into a Western style Green Blue based democracy, with laws similar to for example Poland. As the Yellow predatory corruption, and the seizing of territory based on power is reduced, Ukraine would become more a nation of Green Blue boundaries and property rights.
Then its border would be sacrosanct, the laws binding it to the European Union and perhaps NATO would prevent Yellow predatory attacks from Russia in the future. Liberal Blue like the business oriented Violet, is in a sense post empire and post predatory versus prey. Instead people are bound so much by laws and property rights, including the right to own their vote, that wealth is created through this rather than war.
