Organization and Complexity in a Nested Hierarchical Spin-Glass like Social Space
Fariel Shafee
In this paper, we mathematically formulate the interaction and dynamics of a hierarchical complex social system where each agent is seen as an array of many variables. The formatio…
Interactions Among Agent Variables and Evolution of Social Clusters
Fariel Shafee
In this paper, we first review some basic concepts associated with a model for social interaction previously proposed by us. Each agent is seen as an array of variables that can be…
Generalized Entropy from Mixing: Thermodynamics, Mutual Information and Symmetry Breaking
Fariel Shafee
We review a new form of entropy suggested by us, with origin in mixing of states of systems due to interactions and deformations of phase cells. It is demonstrated that this nonext…
Network of Perceptions
Fariel Shafee
The role of perception in conscious behavior and decision-making is examined. The effect of spatial and temporal stochasticity in the acquisition of beliefs is discussed. The idea…
Agent Components and the Emergence of Altruism in Social Interaction Networks
Fariel Shafee
We discuss a special aspect of agents placed in a social network. If an agent can be seen as comprising many components, the expressions and interactions among these components may…
Nonextensive Entropy, Prior PDFs and Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking
Fariel Shafee
We show that using nonextensive entropy can lead to spontaneous symmetry breaking when a parameter changes its value from that applicable for a symmetric domain, as in field theory…
