For the purposes of this treatise, Paradigm Shifting Operations (PSOs) are defined as extremely large-scale hybrid-type operations which involve elements of covert action, psychological warfare, propaganda, indoctrination, social engineering, sociocultural warfare, and psychological terrorism. The primary objective of these types of operations is the permanent and irreversible shift of societies from one paradigm of sociopolitical functioning to a drastically different one. While social engineering and smaller scale psychological warfare may also serve the ends of shifting social paradigms, PSOs are distinct not only in the scale of the operation but in their sudden onset and the accelerated pace of social transformation. The scale and speed of shifting paradigms which produce drastic results within the span of months to years is primarily what differentiates these operations from regular social engineering operations which are conducted over the course of decades.
