Abstract: |
This
paper provides a general perspective concerning the study of flux of
information in complex social systems. The recognition of communicative
structures through pattern-matching in social
systems allows the interpretation and prediction of behaviour
in social networks. Applying the pattern-oriented approach suggests the
possibility that through modelling, we can discover
new previously unknown emergent patterns in complex systems of various kinds.
In the present study, we examine the processes of pattern recognition and behaviour involved in cicada mating behaviour
and argue that modelling
such systems both uncovers and provides an explanation for emergent patterns.
Experimental results indicate that cicada’s song recognition patterns are
related to and explain the configuration of cicada’s dislocation and contact
patterns. |
