Measuring the Subjective Passage of Time: A Sociophysics Modeling [PDF]

Entropy
A simple model is built to evaluate quantitatively the individual feeling of the passage of time using a sociophysics approach. Given an objective unit of time like the year, I introduce an individualized mirror-subjective counterpart, which is inversely

Sociophysics Analysis of the Dynamics of Peoples' Interests in Society [PDF]

Frontiers in Physics, 2018
As a method of analyzing and predicting social phenomena using social media as data, we present analyses based on the mathematical model of the hit phenomenon, which is one of the established models of sociophysics.
