Network of echoes

Abstract

The decision making model (DMM) previously developed [3,35] has been shown to generate phase transitions, to be topologically complex as manifest by inverse power-law (IPL) degree distributions, and to produce temporal complexity through IPL distributions in the switching times between the two critical states of consensus. These properties are entailed by the fundamental assumption that the network elements in the DMM imperfectly imitate one another, which is postulated herein as the echo response hypothesis; an echo being an imperfect copy of an original signal. Some implications of this hypothesis for the human sciences are explored.
