Members of the crowd lose their individuality. The deindividuation leads to derationalization: emotional, impulsive and irrational behavior, self-catalytic activities, memory impairment, perceptual distortion, hyper-responsiveness, and distortion of traditional forms and structures. This book presents unique results of computational studies on cognitive and affective space-time processes in large-scale collectives of abstract agents being far from mental equilibrium. Computational experiments demonstrate that the irrational and nonsensical behavior of individual entities of crowd-mind results in complex, rich and non-trivial spatio-temporal dynamics of the agent collectives. Mathematical methods employ theory and techniques of cellular-automata and lattice swarms, applied algebra, theory of finite automata and Markov chains, and elementary differential equations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"World Scientific Publishing Company","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47892119978135,"sku":"9789812562869","price":14804.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789812562869.webp?v=1781185796","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/dynamics-of-crowd-minds-patterns-of-irrationality-in-emotions-beliefs-and-actions-9789812562869","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
