Distributed Agency

Abstract

Distributed Agency is the name of a conceptual framework for describing complex adaptive systems that this paper develops. To understand the complexity of the world in a holistic fashion, the field of Modeling and Simulation is currently lacking a common terminology in which different bodies of knowledge can communicate with each other in a general language. In this work, agency is proposed as the common link between the different dimensions of reality, expressing the influence of one dimension on another. This conceptualization is based on a process of backwards induction where nested actors such as an evolved organism or a human choice can be represented as the resulting force of intertwined aims and constraints. The theoretical framework can serve as a point of reference for the social and computational researcher by communicating structural and emergent properties that are essential for the understanding of social and evolutionary phenomena such as companies, economies, governments, and ecosystems.

Complejidad Social y Educación Superior. Análisis Crítico Basado en Agentes

“…En este contexto, en esta sección del documento se tiene como objetivo representar el proceso educativo y de investigación en Instituciones de Educación superior a través del análisis de los elementos en una investigación aplicada en la Universidad Autónoma de Baja California en Tijuana México. Los agentes y variables propuestos e involucrados en esta investigación, tienen los siguientes agentes y variables en este modelo propuesto (Ahumada-Tello et al, 2011, 2018Ahumada-Tello & Castanon-Puga, 2016;Diamond, 1997;Suarez & Castañón-Puga, 2013) En la Tabla 2 se clasifican a los agentes en cuatro categorías, pero con un total de diez diferentes entidades que se dividen en: 1. Proceso enseñanza-aprendizaje; 2.…”

Extending NetLogo with Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Inference Systems

“…In particular, distributed decision-making systems, in terms of its reflection and construction in different levels of reality, represents a relevant topic that has not been fully addressed in the literature. Nonetheless, we stipulate that, in the discussion of social complex systems, there is a growing consensus in which these concepts have been treated as diffuse and distributed nature [1].…”
