Simple fusion-fission quantifies Israel-Palestine violence and suggests multi-adversary solution
Frank Yingjie Huo, Pedro D. Manrique, Dylan J. Restrepo +2
Why humans fight has no easy answer. However, understanding better how humans fight could inform future interventions, hidden shifts and casualty risk. Fusion-fission describes the…
Multi-Species Cohesion: Humans, machinery, AI and beyond
Frank Yingjie Huo, Pedro D. Manrique, Neil F. Johnson
The global chaos caused by the 19 July 2024 technology meltdown highlights the need for a theory of what large-scale cohesive behaviors -- dangerous or desirable -- could suddenly…
Non-equilibrium physics of multi-species assembly: From inhibition of fibrils in biomolecular condensates to growth of online distrust
Pedro D. Manrique, Frank Yingjie Huo, Sara El Oud +1
Self-assembly is a key process in living systems - from the microscopic biological level (e.g. assembly of proteins into fibrils within biomolecular condensates in a human cell) th…
Shockwaves and turbulence across social media
Pedro D. Manrique, Frank Huo, Sara El Oud +3
Online communities featuring 'anti-X' hate and extremism, somehow thrive online despite moderator pressure. We present a first-principles theory of their dynamics, which accounts f…
Online Group Dynamics Reveal New Gel Science
Pedro D. Manrique, Sara El Oud, Neil F. Johnson
A better understanding of how support evolves online for undesirable behaviors such as extremism and hate, could help mitigate future harms. Here we show how the highly irregular g…
Covid-19 infodemic reveals new tipping point epidemiology and a revised formula
N. F. Johnson, N. Velasquez, O. K. Jha +8
Many governments have managed to control their COVID-19 outbreak with a simple message: keep the effective ' number' to prevent widespread contagion and flatten the curve.…
Hidden order in online extremism and its disruption by nudging collective chemistry
N. F. Johnson, N. Velasquez, P. Manrique +5
We show that the eclectic "Boogaloo" extremist movement that is now rising to prominence in the U.S., has a hidden online mathematical order that is identical to ISIS during its ea…
Social media cluster dynamics create resilient global hate highways
N. F. Johnson, R. Leahy, N. Johnson Restrepo +3
Online social media allows individuals to cluster around common interests - including hate. We show that tight-knit social clusters interlink to form resilient 'global hate highway…
Online human aggregation under pressure moves beyond preferential attachment
Zhenfeng Cao, Minzhang Zheng, Pedro D. Manrique +2
There is a significant amount of online human activity which is either clandestine or illicit in nature, and hence where individuals operate under fear of exposure or capture. Yet…
Population polarization dynamics and next-generation social media algorithms
N. F. Johnson, P. Manrique, M. Zheng +8
We present a many-body theory that explains and reproduces recent observations of population polarization dynamics, is supported by controlled human experiments, and addresses the…
Generalized Gelation Theory describes Human Online Aggregation in support of Extremism
Pedro D. Manrique, Minzhang Zheng, Zhenfeng Cao +1
Though many aggregation theories exist for physical, chemical and biological systems, they do not account for the significant heterogeneity found, for example, in populations of li…
Individual heterogeneity generates explosive system network dynamics
Pedro D. Manrique, Neil F. Johnson
Individual heterogeneity is a key characteristic of many real-world systems, from organisms to humans. However its role in determining the system's collective dynamics is typically…
Multiscale dynamical network mechanisms underlying aging from birth to death
M. Zheng, Z. Cao, Y. Vorobyeva +3
How self-organized networks develop, mature and degenerate is a key question for sociotechnical, cyberphysical and biological systems with potential applications from tackling viol…
Atypical viral dynamics from transport through popular places
Pedro D. Manrique, Chen Xu, Pak Ming Hui +1
The flux of visitors through popular places undoubtedly influences viral spreading -- from H1N1 and Zika viruses spreading through physical spaces such as airports, to rumors and i…
New Online Ecology of Adversarial Aggregates: ISIS and beyond
N. F. Johnson, M. Zheng, Y. Vorobyeva +8
Support for extremist entities - whether from the far right, or far left - often manages to survive globally online despite significant external pressure, and may ultimately inspir…
Anomalous Contagion and Renormalization in Dynamical Networks with Nodal Mobility
Pedro D. Manrique, Hong Qi, Minzhang Zheng +3
The common real-world feature of individuals migrating through a network -- either in real space or online -- significantly complicates understanding of network processes. Here we…
Exploring the effects of photon correlations from thermal sources on bacterial photosynthesis
Pedro Manrique, Felipe Caycedo-Soler, Adriana De Mendoza +3
Thermal light sources can produce photons with strong spatial correlations. We study the role that these correlations might potentially play in bacterial photosynthesis. Our findin…
Internal character dictates phase transition dynamics between isolation and cohesive grouping
Pedro D. Manrique, Pak Ming Hui, Neil F. Johnson
We show that accounting for internal character among interacting, heterogeneous entities generates rich phase transition behavior between isolation and cohesive dynamical grouping.…
Non-equilibrium quantum systems: Divergence between global and local descriptions
Pedro D. Manrique, Ferney Rodriguez, Luis Quiroga +1
Even photosynthesis -- the most basic natural phenomenon underlying Life on Earth -- involves the non-trivial processing of excitations at the pico- and femtosecond scales during l…
Organic Zener Diodes: Tunneling across the Gap in Organic Semiconductor Materials
Hans Kleemann, Rafael Gutierrez, Frank Lindner +5
Organic Zener diodes with a precisely adjustable reverse breakdown from -3 V to -15 V without any influence on the forward current-voltage curve are realized. This is accomplished…
