ASPECTS OF SOCIAL COMPLEXITY

Some important properties of social complexity are:
  • The understanding of differences among description levels in a social system; at the minimum the distinguishment of macro-level (e.g.: collective or .

  • There are macro-micro linkages among those description level. The macro levels are emerged by the micro levels and in return there is a causality between the macro properties to the micro. This aspect reminds us of the concept of Emergence in a complex adaptive system. In return, the interplays between macro and micro levels are commonly understood as Non-linear phenomena.

  • There is a tendency of using formal approach to social complexity studies, e.g.: Game Theory , Cellular Automaton , Evolutionary Programming , Neural Network modeling in many aspects, Dynamical System modeling, Computer Simulation , etc.



SOME FORMS OF SOCIAL COMPLEXITY

It is believed that social complexity is the cumulative form of contemporary research of complex systems. Some famous subjects often related to social complexity studies include Computational Sociology , Cognitive Science , Econophysics .
