1) On Methodology. We have many differentiated sociological perspectives in the conflicting directions. In order to innovate the functionalist paradigm characterized as a normal science, we propose to combine dual counteracting perspectives : functionalism and interactionism.2) On Structure. A social system can be defined as a living system of resource-processing controlled through information-processing. Its structure is consisted of several structural components : values, norms, decision-making structure, operation structure, and resources, which are not only hierarchically arranged, but also cybernetically controlled to satisfy requisites of the system. The requisites can be classified into three layers : basic, mediating, and specific requisites. But there are inherently structural strains both within and among those components. 3) On Social Change. Three major variables (strains, external requests, and system's ability to satisfy its requisites) will determine the changes in system structure. And the changes will be facilitated by the means of multiplytyped innovations against the structural components under strains. An effort to remodel Smelser's “logic of value-added process” has lead us to a more comprehensive analytical-scheme, which can described as “a total movement process” with a series of seven phases.
