为了建立一个社会复杂性理论,我们需要理解聚合的社会属性是如何从个体的互动规则中产生的。在这里,我回顾了一个工作机构的发展动力学的马尾猕猴社会组织和冲突管理,提供洞察多尺度社会系统的机械原因。在这个模型系统粗粒度的,集体动态的统计表示更能预测系统的未来状态,而不是在个人层面上不断变化的行为模式。数据表明,个人可以感知和使用这些表示的战略决策。随着交互历史的积累,粗粒度的表示会合并。这限制了个人行为,并为新的组织层次提供了基础。这些表示变化的时间尺度影响了合并的更高级别是否可以由个人或集体修改。时间尺度似乎是一个函数的“粗糙度”的表示和字符的集体动态,他们的平均值。数据表明,多时间尺度的优势在于,它们允许社会系统在可预测性和适应性之间进行权衡。我简要地讨论了这些研究结果的影响,认知,社会生态位的建设和生物系统中的组织的新水平的演变。
To build a theory of social complexity, we need to understand how aggregate social properties arise from individual interaction rules. Here, I review a body of work on the developmental dynamics of pigtailed macaque social organization and conflict management that provides insight into the mechanistic causes of multi-scale social systems. In this model system coarse-grained, statistical representations of collective dynamics are more predictive of the future state of the system than the constantly in-flux behavioural patterns at the individual level. The data suggest that individuals can perceive and use these representations for strategical decision-making. As an interaction history accumulates the coarse-grained representations consolidate. This constrains individual behaviour and provides the foundations for new levels of organization. The time-scales on which these representations change impact whether the consolidating higher-levels can be modified by individuals and collectively. The time-scales appear to be a function of the ‘coarseness’ of the representations and the character of the collective dynamics over which they are averages. The data suggest that an advantage of multiple timescales is that they allow social systems to balance tradeoffs between predictability and adaptability. I briefly discuss the implications of these findings for cognition, social niche construction and the evolution of new levels of organization in biological systems.
