Building on the idea of collective predictive coding originally\u0000developed to explain symbol emergence, CPC-MS models science as a decentralized\u0000Bayesian inference process carried out by a community of agents. The framework\u0000describes how individual scientists' partial observations and internal\u0000representations are integrated through communication and peer review to produce\u0000shared external scientific knowledge. Key aspects of scientific practice like\u0000experimentation, hypothesis formation, theory development, and paradigm shifts\u0000are mapped onto components of the probabilistic graphical model. This paper\u0000discusses how CPC-MS provides insights into issues like social objectivity in\u0000science, scientific progress, and the potential impacts of AI on research. The\u0000generative view of science offers a unified way to analyze scientific\u0000activities and could inform efforts to automate aspects of the scientific\u0000process. Overall, CPC-MS aims to provide an intuitive yet formal model of\u0000science as a collective cognitive activity.","PeriodicalId":501043,"journal":{"name":"arXiv - PHYS - Physics and Society","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142220979","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Population vulnerability to\u0000natural hazards and limited natural resources are deemed problematic,\u0000particularly on small tropical islands. Lifestyles and activities are heavily\u0000reliant on energy consumption. The relationship between climatic variations and\u0000energy consumption must be clearly understood. We demonstrate that it is\u0000possible to determine the impact of climate change on energy consumption. In\u0000small tropical islands, the relationship between climate and energy consumption\u0000is primarily driven by air conditioner electricity consumption during hotter\u0000months. Temperatures above 26{deg}C correlate with increased electricity\u0000consumption. Energy consumption is sensitive to: (1) climatic seasonal\u0000fluctuations, (2) cyclonic activity, (3) temperature warming over the last 20\u0000years. On small tropical islands, demographic and wealth variations also have a\u0000significant impact on energy consumption.

In\u0000our model, we consider a network of individuals who share two opposing types of\u0000information on a specific topic (e.g., pro- vs. anti-vaccine stances), and the\u0000accumulation of evidence supporting either type of information is modelled by\u0000means of a drift-diffusion process. After formalising the model, we put forward\u0000a campaign of Monte Carlo simulations to identify population-wide behaviours\u0000emerging from agents' exposure to different sources of information,\u0000investigating the impact of the number and persistence of such sources, and the\u0000role of the network structure through which the individuals interact. We find\u0000similar emergent behaviours for all network structures considered. When there\u0000is a single type of information, the main observed emergent behaviour is\u0000consensus. When there are opposing information sources, both consensus or\u0000polarisation can result; the latter occurs if the number and persistence of the\u0000sources exceeds some threshold values. Importantly, we find the emergent\u0000behaviour is mainly influenced by how long the information sources are present\u0000for, as opposed to how many sources there are.","PeriodicalId":501043,"journal":{"name":"arXiv - PHYS - Physics and Society","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142220827","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There have been various representations of temporal network data each\u0000of which has different advantages for downstream tasks such as mathematical\u0000analysis, visualizations, agent-based and other dynamical simulations on the\u0000temporal network, and discovery of useful structure. The tie-decay network is a\u0000representation of temporal networks whose advantages include the capability of\u0000generating continuous-time networks from discrete time-stamped contact event\u0000data with mathematical tractability and a low computational cost. However, the\u0000current framework of tie-decay networks is limited in terms of how each\u0000discrete contact event can affect the time-dependent tie strength (which we\u0000call the kernel). Here we extend the tie-decay network model in terms of the\u0000kernel. Specifically, we use a cubic spline function for modeling short-term\u0000behavior of the kernel and an exponential decay function for long-term\u0000behavior, and graft them together. This spline version of tie-decay network\u0000enables delayed and $C^1$-continuous interaction rates between two nodes while\u0000it only marginally increases the computational and memory burden relative to\u0000the conventional tie-decay network. We show mathematical properties of the\u0000spline tie-decay network and numerically showcase it with three tasks: network\u0000embedding, a deterministic opinion dynamics model, and a stochastic epidemic\u0000spreading model.","PeriodicalId":501043,"journal":{"name":"arXiv - PHYS - Physics and Society","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142220985","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
