Abstract
The synergy between the spread of infectious diseases, individual behavior, and group dynamics is widely recognized by epidemiologists and researchers. Our pioneering methodology introduces a model based on agents embedded within adaptive temporal networks, providing a nuanced portrayal of daily interactions through an agent-based paradigm. Each agent encapsulates the interactions of individuals, with external stimuli and environmental cues influencing their behavior. Comprising three intertwined elements — individual behavior, social dynamics, and epidemiological factors — the model has been validated against real-world influenza outbreaks, demonstrating superior performance compared to traditional methodologies. Our framework exhibits extensive versatility and applicability by encapsulating individual-level dynamics through elementary rules and simulating complex social behaviors such as social consciousness.
期刊介绍：
Physica D (Nonlinear Phenomena) publishes research and review articles reporting on experimental and theoretical works, techniques and ideas that advance the understanding of nonlinear phenomena. Topics encompass wave motion in physical, chemical and biological systems; physical or biological phenomena governed by nonlinear field equations, including hydrodynamics and turbulence; pattern formation and cooperative phenomena; instability, bifurcations, chaos, and space-time disorder; integrable/Hamiltonian systems; asymptotic analysis and, more generally, mathematical methods for nonlinear systems.
