Formation of social norms in transferring information and revising the cognitive frameworks

Forming process of norms in societies in which individuals act according to their own interpretation of information is studied with a multi agent model. Individuals acquire information from others and interpret it. The way of individual’s action is revised through changing the source of information and reforming the method of interpretation. Through the revising mechanisms, shared cognitive frameworks establish. It is considered as norms since it gives coherency in action. In the process of formation the two revising mechanisms function in turn. The intensity of interaction among individuals affects the time needed to build norms and the size of groups sharing norms. The size develops under strong interaction but the period to establish delays. The dependency of average size of norms on the strength is a power.
