=== Law of social cycle and governance ===
{{main|Law of social cycle}}
Prout takes account of Sarkar's law of social cycle. It sees the [[social order]] as consisting of four [[Social class|classes of people]] that cyclically dominate society: ''shudras'' (workers), ''kshatriyas'' (warriors), ''vipras'' (intellectuals) and ''vaishyas'' (acquisitors).<ref name=Crovetto2011/>

Prout sees the four classes as connected to cyclic processes across time.<ref name=":3" /> That when a class of people struggle and rise to power they cause a revolution in the physical and mental world.<ref name=":3" /> To prevent any social class from clinging to political power and exploiting the others, a "spiritual elite" sadvipras (etymologically sad – true, vipra – intellectual) would determine who will hold political leadership.<ref name=Crovetto2011/> Prout theorises that the first sadvipras would come from disgruntled middle-class intellectuals and warriors.<ref name=Crovetto2011/>
 
Sadvipras would be organized into [[executive (government)|executive]], [[legislature|legislative]], and [[judiciary|judicial]] boards which would be governed by a Supreme Board.<ref name=Crovetto2011/> They would be responsible for the order of dominance within the social order.
