A Generic Model of Collectivities
نویسنده
چکیده
A class of social phenomena, exhibiting fluid boundaries and constant change, called ‘collectivities’, is modelled using an agent-based simulation, demonstrating how such models can show that a set of plausible micro-behaviours can yield the observed macrophenomenon.
