Re: [Swarm-Modelling] Emergent culture in social systems

[Paul Johnson]

The Opinion model I've worked on has that element.  The code is online

http://lark.cc.ku.edu/~pauljohn/Swarm/MySwarmCode/OpinionFormation/Opinion-2.0.1.tar.gz

It is discussed in a book called Political Disagreement that Cambridge U 
Press just published.  The authors are listed as R. Robert Huckfeldt, 
Paul E. Johnson, and John Sprague. 

In my modestly entitled directory MySwarmCode (in the URL above) you 
will find other models that I have worked on. Especially relevant for 
social science might be the Schelling neighborhood segregation model 
(look in the Schelling directory), the Latane et al "Social Impact" 
model (look in Social Impact),  and the protest model (the one called 
"activists" in the Protest directory).

Good Luck
Paul Johnson
