Abstract

This paper presents a research program that links complexity theory with the study of socioeconomic systems. This approach of the evolutionary paradigm is referred to as sociomatics since it covers different disciplines in the social sciences and makes use of computers to simulate the behavior and interaction of heterogeneous agents. The central body of sociomatics consists of a meta-theory that establishes the premises of human behavior (agency) and the form this behavior is conditioned by a process of social embeddedness (structure). Likewise, it is asserted that models based on agents allow describing different topologies of social interaction which, in turn, make possible to characterize the co-evolution of endogenous variables in the economic, social and political arenas, and between these superficial arenas and the socio-cultural substratum.// En este artículo se presenta un programa de investigación que vincula la teoría de la complejidad con el estudio de los sistemas socioeconómicos. A este enfoque del paradigma evolutivo se le denomina "sociomática" en tanto que abarca distintas disciplinas de las ciencias sociales y hace uso de la computadora para simular el comportamiento y la interacción de agentes heterogéneos. El cuerpo central de la sociomática consiste en una meta-teoría que establece las premisas del comportamiento humano (agencia) y la manera en que éste se ve condicionado por un proceso de inserción social (estructura). Asimismo, se sostiene que los modelos basados en agentes permiten describir distintas topologías de interacción social, logrando con ello caracterizar la coevolución de las variables endógenas de las arenas económica, social y política, y entre estas arenas superficiales y el sustrato sociocultural.
