Spatial Selection and the Multiscale Dynamics of Urban Change
Jordan T Kemp, Laura Fürsich, Luís M A Bettencourt
Growth is a multi-layered phenomenon in human societies, composed of socioeconomic and demographic change at many different scales. Yet, standard macroeconomic indicators average o…
Decoding the city: multiscale spatial information of urban income
Luís M. A. Bettencourt, Ivanna Rodriguez, Jordan T. Kemp +1
Cities are characterized by the coexistence of general aggregate patterns, along with many local variations. This poses challenges for analyses of urban phenomena, which tend to be…
Redefining Fitness: Inference, Information and Phase Transitions in Evolutionary Dynamics
Luís MA Bettencourt, Brandon J Grandison, Jordan T Kemp
Evolution is the adaptation of populations to their environment expressed through the concept of fitness. Darwin did not define fitness but described evolution as the higher preval…
Stochastic Pairwise Preference Convergence in Bayesian Agents
Jordan T Kemp, Max-Olivier Hongler, Olivier Gallay
Beliefs inform the behavior of forward-thinking agents in complex environments. Recently, sequential Bayesian inference has emerged as a mechanism to study belief formation among a…
Information Synergy Maximizes the Growth Rate of Heterogeneous Groups
Jordan T Kemp, Adam G Kline, Luís MA Bettencourt
Collective action and group formation are fundamental behaviors among both organisms cooperating to maximize their fitness, and people forming socioeconomic organizations. Research…
The Bayesian Origins of Growth Rates in Stochastic Environments
Jordan T. Kemp, Luís M. A. Bettencourt
Stochastic multiplicative dynamics characterize many complex natural phenomena such as selection and mutation in evolving populations, and the generation and distribution of wealth…
