The Biased Interaction Game: A System Theoretic Approach to the Emergence of Inequality, Hierarchy, and the Implications for the Likelihood of Cooperation

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The emergence of cooperation in natural selection has been successfully studied using game theory and, despite the underlying selfish nature of the evolutionary process, a spectrum of plausible mechanisms have been proposed to determine the conditions under which cooperative behaviour is likely to occur.

Arrow's theorem, Weglorz' models and the axiom of choice [PDF]

Applying Weglorz' models of set theory without the axiom of choice, we investigate Arrow-type social welfare functions for infinite societies with restricted coalition algebras.

The History and Ideas of George Herbert Mead's Pragmatism and Its Relevance for Operational Research and Systems Thinkers

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT George Herbert Mead is an oft forgotten or ignored American philosopher who was one of the originators of pragmatism. Today, he is recognised as a creative thinker who has teased out knotty problems that others in the field had not realised were problems. Understanding Mead's analysis has been made difficult because he died prematurely without

The clashing of in situ and pre‐cast technologies—Western trends and local traditions in concrete engineering shaping shell construction in 20th‐century Hungary

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract After a blossoming pre‐World War II (WWII) period, the concrete construction industry in then‐socialist Hungary existed in a relative isolation from the Western World during the mid‐20th century. In this paper, we focus on the body of work of one of the then newly established state‐owned design offices, IPARTERV, to show how the isolation ...

Identification of Missing Knowledge in MBSE System Models Using Graph‐Based Machine Learning

Systems Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The design and development of complex aerospace systems pose significant challenges due to their growing complexity. Iterative design processes, guided by formal specifications, strive to refine initially vague characteristics through multiple stages.

Toward Explainable Engineering Decisions: Pursuing a Descriptive Decision Theory at the Intersection of Analysis, Judgment, and Conviction

Systems Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Engineers design the technical systems that define and sustain our society. The decision‐making scenarios they face require both quantitative analyses and the consideration of qualitative factors, which are shaped by deeply held beliefs, values, and societal contexts. However, existing engineering decision‐making models, primarily derived from
