Social free energy has been recently introduced as a measure of social action obtainable in a given social system, without changes in its structure. The authors of this paper argue that social free energy surpasses the gap between the verbally formulated value sets of social systems and the quantitatively based predictions. This point is further developed by analyzing the relation between the social and the physical free energy. Generically, this is done for a particular type of social dynamics. The extracted type of social dynamics is one of many realistic types of the differing proportion of social and economic elements. Numerically, this has been done for a toy model of interacting agents. The values of the social and physical free energies are, within the numerical accuracy, equivalent in the class of non-trivial, quasi-stationary model states.
