Collective patterns and stable misunderstandings in networks striving for consensus without a common value system — •Johannes Falk1, Edwin Eichler2,3, Katja Windt3,1, and Marc-Thorsten Hütt1 — 1Constructor University, Bremen, Germany — 2EICHLER Consulting AG, Weggis, Switzerland — 3SMS Group GmbH, Düsseldorf, Germany
Collective phenomena in systems of interacting agents have helped us understand diverse social, ecological and biological observations. The corresponding explanations are challenged by incorrect information processing. In particular, the models typically assume a shared understanding of signals or a common truth or value system, i.e., an agreement on whether the measurement or perception of information is right or wrong. It is an open question whether a collective consensus can emerge without these conditions. We introduce a model of interacting agents that strive for consensus, however, each with only a subjective perception of the world. We do not presuppose a definition of right or wrong and the actors can hence not distinguish between correct and incorrect observations. Depending on how responsive the agents are to changing their world-view we observe a transition between an unordered phase of individuals that are not able to communicate and a phase of an emerging shared signalling framework. We find that there are two types of convention-aligned clusters: one, where all social actors in the cluster have the same set of conventions, and one, where neighbouring actors have different but compatible conventions (stable misunderstandings).
