Abstract

The dynamical hypothesis has served to explore the ways in which cognitive agents can be understood dynamically and considered dynamical systems. Originally used to explain simple physical systems as a metaphor for cognition (i.e., the Watt governor) and eventually more complex animal systems (e.g., bird flocks), we argue that the dynamical hypothesis is among the most viable approaches to understanding pressing modern-day issues that arise from collective human behavior in online social networks. First, we discuss how the dynamical hypothesis is positioned to describe, predict, and explain the time-evolving nature of complex systems. Next, we adopt an interdisciplinary perspective to describe how online social networks are appropriately understood as dynamical systems. We introduce a dynamical modeling approach to reveal information about emergent properties in social media, where radicalized conspiratorial beliefs arise via coordination between user-level and community-level comments. Lastly, we contrast how the dynamical hypothesis differs from alternatives in explaining collective human behavior in social networks.

通过动力学假设理解社交媒体网络中的集体人类行为:对激进和阴谋信仰的应用。
动力学假说有助于探索认知主体可以被动态理解和被视为动力学系统的方式。最初用于将简单的物理系统解释为认知的隐喻(即瓦特调速器),并最终解释为更复杂的动物系统(例如鸟类群),我们认为动力学假设是理解在线社交网络中人类集体行为所产生的现代紧迫问题的最可行方法之一。首先,我们讨论了动力学假设如何定位来描述、预测和解释复杂系统的时间演化性质。接下来,我们采用跨学科的视角来描述在线社交网络如何被恰当地理解为动态系统。我们引入了一种动态建模方法来揭示社交媒体中突发属性的信息,在社交媒体中,激进的阴谋信念是通过用户级和社区级评论之间的协调产生的。最后,我们对比了动态假设与替代假设在解释社会网络中人类集体行为方面的差异。

期刊介绍: Topics in Cognitive Science (topiCS) is an innovative new journal that covers all areas of cognitive science including cognitive modeling, cognitive neuroscience, cognitive anthropology, and cognitive science and philosophy. topiCS aims to provide a forum for: -New communities of researchers- New controversies in established areas- Debates and commentaries- Reflections and integration The publication features multiple scholarly papers dedicated to a single topic. Some of these topics will appear together in one issue, but others may appear across several issues or develop into a regular feature. Controversies or debates started in one issue may be followed up by commentaries in a later issue, etc. However, the format and origin of the topics will vary greatly.
