Hydrodynamics of perceptual matter: from neural representations to collective motion

Mohammad Salahshour

How do neural representations of neighbors become collective material behavior? Harmonic Theory (HT) reduces bearing representations to signed perceptual channels traceable to sens…

Selection rules for the harmonic spectroscopy of animal decisions

Mohammad Salahshour

Spectroscopy reads structure by sending a structured probe into a system and measuring what comes back. Here we apply this principle to animal decision-making. Harmonic Theory cast…

Harmonic Theory of Behavior

Mohammad Salahshour, Iain D. Couzin

Traditional models of collective behavior rely on prescribed interaction rules, leaving unresolved the question of how behavior arises from neural representations of space. Here, w…

What a collective can hold in common: a gauge framework for private representations

Mohammad Salahshour

Many models of collective behavior write headings, beliefs, and meanings in one experimenter-defined frame. Organisms do not live there: each represents the world in a private spac…

The Co-evolution of Cooperation and Epidemic Spreading

Mehran Noori, Nahid Azimi-Tafreshi, Mohammad Salahshour

People's cooperation in adopting protective measures is effective in epidemic control and creates herd immunity as a public good. Similarly, the presence of an epidemic is a drivin…

Construction of Gyrogroups of Order by Cyclic 2-Groups

Abraham A. Ungar, Mohammad Ali Salahshour, Kurosh Mavaddat Nezhaad

A gyrogroup is a structure constituting from a non-empty set and a binary operation such that satisfying the left identity, and left inverse conditions, and also has the associativ…

Construction of All Gyrogroups of Orders at most 31

Ali Reza Ashrafi, Kurosh Mavaddat Nezhaad, Mohammad Ali Salahshour

The gyrogroup is the closest algebraic structure to the group ever discovered. It has a binary operation containing an identity element such that each element has an invers…

The cost of noise: stochastic punishment falls short of sustaining cooperation in social dilemma experiments

Mohammad Salahshour, Vincent Oberhauser, Matteo Smerlak

Identifying mechanisms able to sustain costly cooperation among self-interested agents is a central problem across social and biological sciences. One possible solution is peer pun…

Evolution of cooperation in costly institutes

Mohammad Salahshour

We show that in a situation where individuals have a choice between a costly institute and a free institute to perform a collective action task, the existence of a participation co…

Counting Centralizers of a Finite Group with an Application in Constructing the Commuting Conjugacy Class Graph

A. R. Ashrafi, M. A. Salahshour

The set of all centralizers of elements in a finite group is denoted by and is called centralizer if . In this paper, the structure of centrali…

Collective Movement with Signaling

Mohammad Salahshour, Shahin Rouhani

We consider a population of mobile agents able to make noisy observation of the environment and communicate their observation by production and comprehension of signals. Individual…

The evolution of punishing institutions

Mohammad Salahshour

A large body of empirical evidence suggests that humans are willing to engage in costly punishment of defectors in public goods games. Based on such pieces of evidence, it is sugge…

Construction of New Gyrogroups and the Structure of their Subgyrogroups

S. Mahdavi, A. R. Ashrafi, M. A. Salahshour

Suppose that is a groupoid with binary operation . The pair is said to be a gyrogroup if the operation has a left identity, each element $a \in…

Evolution of cooperation and consistent personalities in public goods games

Mohammad Salahshour

The evolution of cooperation has remained an important problem in evolutionary theory and social sciences. In this regard, a curious question is why consistent cooperative and defe…

Evolutionary value of collective sensing

Mohammad Salahshour, Shahin Rouhani

We propose a mathematical model for collective sensing in a population growing in a stochastically varying environment. In the population, individuals use an information channel fo…
