This paper continues with the idea of social distance, proposed in [2] and introduces an algebra with two operators for
group social distance
and
lead distance
. It essentially extends the concept of social distance from individual level to group level, formally specifying how a group is socially distanced from an opportunity that intends development. It also proposes a measure to find how one influences others in a group resulting social improvement measured by a metric called
lead distance
. The paper analyzes the effects due to joining of different types of people where types are found based on their social privileges in accessing a social resource. Social difference between two is computed from their social distances, and the difference leads to social entropy of a group. Increase in entropy leads to group fragmentation. It is shown that group fragmentation can be controlled to give rise to desired sub groups. Our aim is to develop a computing methods for social engineering leading towards inclusive society.
