Dynamics Of Crowd-minds: Patterns Of Irrationality In Emotions, Beliefs And Actions
A crowd-mind emerges when formation of a crowd causes fusion of individual minds into one collective mind. 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.
Dynamics of Crowd-minds
- Includes easily accessible discrete models (cellular automata, artificial chemistry), a great number of informative illustrations, enlightening quotations, and an encyclopedic list of references.- Models and paradigms developed in the book can be applied to mathematical studies of affective collective intelligence, computational models of minds near the state of mental disorder, the design of massive-parallel prototypes of artificial consciousness, software implementations of affective cognition, and the design of hardware prototypes of emotional controllers.

Studies of pedestrian behaviour have gained attention in a variety of disciplines. Different technologies have been used to collect data about pedestrian movement patterns. This book aims to document these developments in research and modelling approaches. It includes modelling approaches such as cellular automata models and fluid dynamics.
