Systemic analysis of dynamics in complex networks has allured interest from different fields. Norms are a mechanism that can be useful to govern or guide the behavior of agents in such scenarios. Such effects of norms can be analyzed in different terms, such as emergence, spread, equilibrium oscillations and stability. In this paper, we present an analysis of the life-cycle of deontic norms in ...

This article deals with the process of formation of norms in societies in which individuals act according to their own cognitive framework under communication. The 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, assemblag...

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 fra...

The Internet is more than a web of computers and more than a web of documents. From a pragmatic point of view it is interesting what people do with the Internet and how. Actions and events have a meaning in the context of a process or practice as enveloping a set of shared norms. The norms apply to behavior, but also to interpretation and evaluation, and can be represented and implemented using...

In this paper, we introduce the notion of an action $Y_X$as a generalization of the notion of a module,and the notion of a norm $vt: Y_Xto F$, where $F$ is a field and $vartriangle(xy)vartriangle(y') =$ $ vartriangle(y)vartriangle(xy')$ as well as the notion of fuzzy norm, where $vt: Y_Xto [0, 1]subseteq {bf R}$, with $bf R$  the set of all real numbers. A great many standard mappings on algebr...

Most human populations are subdivided into ethnic groups which have self-ascribed membership and are marked by seemingly arbitrary traits such as distinctive styles of dress or speech. Existing explanations of ethnicity do not adequately explain the origin and maintenance of group marking. Here we develop a mathematical model which shows that groups distinguished by both differences in social n...
