The Non-linear Dynamics of Meaning-Processing in Social Systems [PDF]
Loet Leydesdorff, The Non-linear dynamics of meaning-processing in

When the expectations operate upon one another, they generate a non-linear dynamics that processes meaning. Specific meaning can be stabilized, for example, in social institutions, but all meaning arises from a horizon of possible meanings.

arXiv, 2013 Members of social networks are given opportunities to bestow positive recognition upon one another by means of constructs such as "likes" and "retweets." Although recipients no doubt experience utility from these actions, one might question why these constructs with no intrinsic value for the sender are exchanged at all.
