Outsourcing Memory Through Niche Construction
Edward D. Lee, Jessica C. Flack, David C. Krakauer
Adaptation to changing environments is a universal feature of life and can involve the organism modifying itself in response to the environment as well as actively modifying the en…
Emergent regularities and scaling in armed conflict data
Edward D. Lee, Bryan C. Daniels, Christopher R. Myers +2
Armed conflict exhibits regularities beyond known power law distributions of fatalities and duration over varying culture and geography. We systematically cluster conflict reports…
Control of critical behavior in a small-scale social system
Bryan C. Daniels, David C. Krakauer, Jessica C. Flack
Over the last decade new technologies for making large numbers of fine-grained measurements have led to the surprising discovery that many biological systems sit near a critical po…
The Information Theory of Individuality
David Krakauer, Nils Bertschinger, Eckehard Olbrich +2
We consider biological individuality in terms of information theoretic and graphical principles. Our purpose is to extract through an algorithmic decomposition system-environment b…
Capturing collective conflict dynamics with sparse social circuits
Edward Lee, Bryan Daniels, Jessica Flack +1
We discuss a set of computational techniques, called Inductive Game Theory, for extracting strategic decision-making rules from time series data and constructing probabilistic soci…
Evidence of strategic periodicities in collective conflict dynamics
Simon DeDeo, David C. Krakauer, Jessica C. Flack
We analyze the timescales of conflict decision-making in a primate society. We present evidence for multiple, periodic timescales associated with social decision-making and behavio…
Inductive Game Theory and the Dynamics of Animal Conflict
Simon DeDeo, David C. Krakauer, Jessica C. Flack
Conflict destabilizes social interactions and impedes cooperation at multiple scales of biological organization. Of fundamental interest are the causes of turbulent periods of conf…
