Formalising Agency-Inducing Patterns in World Dynamics
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, the question is addressed which patterns in world dynamics should occur to enable a conceptualisation of a world’s process as an agent. Six criteria on patterns in world dynamics are discussed that indicate when the world shows agency, and allows a faithful agent-based conceptualisation. The criteria, that naturally cover aspects such as embodiment and embeddedness, are formalised and their use is illustrated in a case study.

Patterns in World Dynamics Indicating Agency
In this paper, the question is addressed which patterns in world dynamics are an indication for a conceptualisation of a world’s process as an agent. Six criteria are discussed that provide an indication for the world to show a form agency, and allows for suitable agent-based conceptualisation. The criteria take the form of relationships between the occurrence of certain patterns in the world’s...
متن کاملFormalising Harmony Seeking Rules of Morphogenesis
The 15 generative patterns of Alexander’s “Nature of Order” are descriptions of architectural structures that are seen in both buildings and in the natural world. We are investigating various aspects of complex systems, including those relating to structural patterns that may underlie those systems. Here we describe some experiments to generate 2D structures that incorporate those patterns that...

The social contract has been about rights and responsibilities in human societies. Facebook and its role in manufacturing and sustaining a global social contract, a new “we” is clearly one of the research areas that needs more attention. A new “we” is coming of age in the new age of connectivity and communication with a new outlook toward responsibility and rights at individual and collective l...
متن کاملAn Ontology for Formalising Agreement Patterns in Auction Markets
Knowledge and best practices on auction systems are currently disseminated across the research literature, which limits its access, reuse, evaluation and feedback by practitioners. This article presents a systematic approach to collect this knowledge as design patterns, in order to provide assistance to software developers. An ontology has been defined for formalising design patterns in auction...
متن کاملIncreasing Energy Efficiency in Residential Buildings: System Dynamics Approach
Iran is considered as one of the most energy-consuming countries in the world, and because of the abundant resources in Iran, energy is so cheap. In this study, by focusing on the residential sector as the most consumable sector, and electricity as the most consumable energy in this sector, it has been tried to investigate, and simulate related approved methods in the world, and the results of ...
