#collectivebehavior — Public Fediverse posts

Carl Jung saw what happens when individuals disappear into the crowd. What he couldn’t see was how easily that crowd could be engineered.

Today, it fits in your pocket.

This is about digital mobs, responsibility, and the erosion of individual conscience.

re-#introduction
Hi Fediscience! I am an Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering at University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa (Honolulu). I got here starting from Physics training with many scientific detours into data-driven models, complex systems, nanomaterial self-assembly, human learning of complex networks, naval ships, and design problems.
I grew up in Belarus and have *opinions* on that region of the world. I've been on Fediverse since late 2022 when *something* happened to our previous cybersocial infrastructure, but the previous server I was on is sunsetting. Please come say hi and recommend cool people to follow here.
I have a blog with longer thoughts on science-adjacent topics.

After 6 years using Gibbsian states for network density matrices, w/ @ArshamGhavasieh we've finally shown under which conditions they are also max-entropy network states!

We gain new insights on coalescence processes and find unexpected behaviors:

With some delay, here the thread on our latest paper w/ @ArshamGhavasieh where we provide an alternative approach to build network states in terms of density matrices.

We generalize the existing approach and significantly extend it.

“Our analysis suggests that it is possible to conceive intermittent collective strategies that take advantage of both hierarchical and democratic organizational schemes.”

#Introduction

I study how collectives of agents (animals, neurons, mathematical structures) can solve problems.

We also develop AI approaches based on Model Theory and Universal Algebra. They do not use optimization and are very transparent to mathematical analysis.

#introduction

I think about how a collective of agents (animals, neurons, mathematical structures) can solve problems. I am also interested in what it means to produce a good model and an understanding of something.

I am excited to be here to learn and discuss.

New preprint led by @[email protected] about a topic really interesting to me: the bridge between network science and artificial neural networks!

What happens if we use structured topologies or even real connectomes for some machine learning tasks?
