Reconceptualizing Vagueness: Legal Rules and Social Orders

Agent Cognitive Capabilities and Orders of Social Emergence

This chapter critically examines our theoretical understanding of the dialectical relationship between emergent social structures and agent behaviors. While much has been written about emergence individually as a concept and the use of simulation methods are being increasingly applied to the exploration of social behavior, the concept of ‘social emergence’ remains ill defined. Furthermore there...

Antisocial Behaviour Orders: Unanticipated Directions in Social Network Site Development

Social network technologies, as we know them today have become a popular feature of everyday life for many people. As their name suggests, their underlying premise is to enable people to connect with each other for a variety of purposes. These purposes however, are generally thought of in a positive fashion. Based on a multi-method study of two online environments, Habbo Hotel and Second Life, ...

Dual templating synthesis of hierarchical porous silica materials with three orders of length scale.

Three-dimensionally interconnected, highly porous silica materials with ordering on three different scales, that is, macropores (10-30 μm), interconnecting windows (3-5 μm), and nanoporous walls (∼80 nm), are prepared via a dual-templating approach.

On orders induced by implications

In this paper, the orders induced by the residual implications obtained from uninorms are investigated. A necessary and sufficient condition is presented so that the ordinal sum of fuzzy implications satisfies the law of importation with a t-norm $T$. Some relationships between the orders induced by an ordinal sum implication and its summands are determined. The algebraic structures obtained fr...
