Building on world-systems theory, simulation models of 5-line intersocietal networks were generated in an effort to understand systemic power hierarchies. The societal nodes were exclusively connected by three types of interaction: migration, warfare, and unequal trade. These networks can be considered “mixed relation” networks due to the ways in which these types of ties combine positive and n...

In this paper we consider the issue of endowing an AGI system with decision-making capabilities for operation in real-world environments or those of comparable complexity. While action-selection is a critical function of any AGI system operating in the real-world, very few applicable theories or methodologies exist to support such functionality, when all necessary factors are taken into account...

plato in theory of philosopher-king believes that all of the members of ideal city-state, whether ruler or citizens, will attain happiness if the philosopher is the ruler. but there are paradoxes in the theory and the bases of the happiness are unstable too. in other words, plato in his theory presents hierarchical dualities (intelligible/visible world, episteme/ doxa,true/ untrue or shadow, …)...

In this paper we reexamine the D-brane spectrum in the Melvin background with non-constant NSNS B-field from the viewpoint of its world-volume and string world-sheet theory. We find that the stable D2-D0 bound state exists even though it does not wrap any nontrivial cycles. We show that this system is stabilized by the presence of the NSNS B-field and the magnetic flux F . Moreover from the non...
