Complexity Features of Social Systems

Living → active entities

Behavioral strategies, bounded rationality → randomness of humanbehaviors

Heterogeneous distribution of strategies

Behavioral strategies can change in time

Self-organized collective behavior can emerge spontaneously:

A Black Swan is a highly improbable event with threeprincipal characteristics: It is unpredictable; it carries a massiveimpact; and, after the fact, we concoct an explanation thatmakes it appear less random, and more predictable, than it was.[N.

What About Black Swans?

A Black Swan is a highly improbable event with

three principal characteristics: It is unpredictable;

it carries a massive impact; and, after the fact, we

concoct an explanation that makes it appear less

random, and more predictable, than it was.

Need for macroscopically detectable indicators of sudden changes

Identify early-warning signals preceding radicalization

Example

Let f̃ be a phenomenologically guessed/expected asymptotic distribution:

dBS(t) := ‖f̃ − f(t)‖Rn×m

e.g.= max

1≤r≤m

n∑i=1

|f̃ri − fri (t)|.

What About Black Swans?

A Black Swan is a highly improbable event with

three principal characteristics: It is unpredictable;

it carries a massive impact; and, after the fact, we

concoct an explanation that makes it appear less

random, and more predictable, than it was.

Need for macroscopically detectable indicators of sudden changes

Identify early-warning signals preceding radicalization

Example

Let f̃ be a phenomenologically guessed/expected asymptotic distribution:

dBS(t) := ‖f̃ − f(t)‖Rn×m

e.g.= max

1≤r≤m

n∑i=1

|f̃ri − fri (t)|.
