Religion: The dynamics of cultural adaptations
The goal of science is to achieve a level of understanding which not only explains current observations but also allows us to make predictions. Can science provide this kind of understanding of religion? Can it allow us to predict how holding beliefs categorized as “religious” is likely to affect people’s lives, how these effects are likely to play out in the future or how religion itself will ...
متن کاملMultiple Schramm-Loewner Evolutions and Statistical Mechanics Martingales
A statistical mechanics argument relating partition functions to martingales is used to get a condition under which random geometric processes can describe interfaces in 2d statistical mechanics at criticality. Requiring multiple SLEs to satisfy this condition leads to some natural processes, which we study in this note. We give examples of such multiple SLEs and discuss how a choice of conform...
متن کاملOn religion and language evolutions seen through mathematical and agent based models
Religions and languages are social variables, like age, sex, wealth or political opinions, to be studied like any other organizational parameter. In fact, religiosity is one of the most important sociological aspects of populations. Languages are also obvious characteristics of the human species. Religions, languages appear though also disappear. All religions and languages evolve and survive w...
متن کاملAbout Non-positive Evolutions in Open System Dynamics
The long-time evolution of a system in interaction with an external environment is usually described by a family of linear maps γt, generated by master equations of Block-Redfield type. These maps are in general non-positive; a widely adopted cure for this physical inconsistency is to restrict the domain of definition of the dynamical maps to those states for which γt remains positive. We show ...
متن کاملThe Dynamics of Network-Religion Autocorrelation in Adolescent Friendship Networks
Similarity of religious beliefs and practices among friends, or network-religion autocorrelation, is a common aspect of many social networks. Network-religion autocorrelation is important because it strengthens plausibility structures (Berger 1967), or the combination of beliefs and strong social ties to others who share those beliefs. Plausibility structures support sacred umbrellas (Smith 199...
