Governments and regulatory systems are small structures aiming to represent a much larger population and make decisions. Can this process of governance be modeled as a network? In today's @binghamtoncoco.bsky.social seminar, @juniperlov.bsky.social introduced us to her model to answer that question!

It might start as a joke, belief, or rumor, easy to dismiss. But then it twists, builds momentum, and spreads like wildfire. Why do some ideas die out while others go viral? A new study by researchers from the University of Vermont and the Santa Fe Institute offers answers: santafe.edu/news

Some decisions are best made quickly and locally. Governance can work better as a higher-order network, not a pyramid around a central state. How should we design these networks? We looked at this with law and complexity scholars and found "effective governance" networks. arxiv.org/abs/2412.03421
Cartoon of a top-down central state combined with a local network of decisions units.Cartoon of decisions as a statisfiability problem (decision network) where each decision is solved by a higher-order network (governance network) of agents with their own opinions on what decisions should be made.
