Cognitive architectures of agent systems and social mechanisms of emergence and immergence

This paper develops a framework of a theory for the emergence of social reality that turns out by relating three different models or agent architectures, respectively: a model of the emergence of social hierarchies, an architecture of a normative system and an architecture of the delegation of social control. This reflects a complex feedback loop of the emergence of an autonomous sphere of social positions and immergence of social norms and execution of social control. It is shown how social structure emerges from and recursively affects the agents’ cognitive structure.
