Gene Sharp has earlier described 9 types of non-violence in terms of 45 major characteristics. This generates a data matrix, which when subjected to certain methods of multivariate dimensional analysis, points to the presence of 4 fundamental factors. These 4 factors by appropriate combination seem to give rise to certain prototypes, types & super types, one scheme among which is the typology of Gene Sharp. An attempt is made here to label the first 4 fundamental dimensions of generic non-violence. IPSA.
