A Model for the Formation of Beliefs and Social Norms Based on the Satisfaction Problem (SAT).
We propose a numerical representation of beliefs in social systems based on the so-called SAT problem in computer science. The main idea is that a belief system is a set of true/false values associated with claims or propositions. Each individual assigns these values according to its cognitive system in order to minimize logical contradictions, thus trying to solve a satisfaction problem. Social interactions between agents that disagree on a proposition can be introduced in order to see how, in the long term, social norms and competing belief systems build up in a population. Among other metrics, entropy is used to characterize the diversity of belief systems.
期刊介绍:
Entropy (ISSN 1099-4300), an international and interdisciplinary journal of entropy and information studies, publishes reviews, regular research papers and short notes. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish as much as possible their theoretical and experimental details. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. If there are computation and the experiment, the details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced.
