The entropic basis of collective behaviour
We identify a unique viewpoint on the collective behaviour of intelligent agents. We first develop a highly general abstract model for the possible future lives these agents may encounter as a result of their decisions. In the context of these possibilities, we show that the causal entropic principle, whereby agents follow behavioural rules that maximize their entropy over all paths through the...
متن کاملCorrection to: 'The entropic basis of collective behaviour'.
In fact the Kesten–Stigum theorem [2] only states that the number of nodes will converge to some random variable, the distribution of which depends on the choice of offspring distribution. This random variable has a mean of z , where z is the mean offspring per node and h is the number of generations. Therefore, equation (3.2) in the original manuscript, and the results derived from it, hold in...
متن کاملIndividual Basis for Collective Behaviour in the Termite, Cornitermes cumulans
Interactions among individuals in social groups lead to the emergence of collective behaviour at large scales by means of multiplicative non-linear effects. Group foraging, nest building and task allocation are just some well-known examples present in social insects. However the precise mechanisms at the individual level that trigger and amplify social phenomena are not fully understood. Here w...

متن کاملThe Evolutionary Basis of Collective Action
Many aspects of political behavior have been illuminated by standard models in which political actors maximize self-interested preferences. The works of Downs (1957), Buchanan and Tullock (1962),Buchanan, Tollison and Tullock (1980) and Becker (1983), as well as those inspired by these seminal contributions, have contributed to our understanding of voter, party and policy preferences, interest ...
