This paper presents a formal system of dyadic cognition and communication. The formal system is a model for the two‐person group, or dyad. The dyad is discussed formally as being composed of six subsystems, or state structures, which represent the states of a first‐order stochastic process. Some exploratory data are presented which reveal that some axioms appear accurate, while anomalies suggest additional axioms. The implications of this formal system for future research extend across system levels from two‐person systems to national systems.
