Attitudes, Ideologies and Self-Organization: Information Load Minimization in Multi-Agent Decision Making

The social context of an agent can have a profound influence upon their decisions and actions, where their attitudes and ideologies frequently change the interpretation given to a specific body of knowledge. However, attitudes and ideologies themselves result from groups of agents as they communicate and respond to information. This paper proposes a geometric model of an agent in context, where human attitudes among multiple agents are seen to self-organise to fo form ideologies, which then serve to guide further agent attitude changes.
