Opinion Dynamics and Unifying Principles: A Global Unifying Frame [PDF]
Entropy, 2022 I review and extend the set of unifying principles that allow comparing all models of opinion dynamics within one single frame. Within the Global Unifying Frame (GUF), any specific update rule chosen to study opinion dynamics for discrete individual ...

A SUM of science: The taxonomy and methodology of sociophysics [PDF]
KNOWLEDGE ORGANIZATION, 1993 Attempt to order the main parameters of scientific theory into a coherent taxonomy. To that end, a System Unification Model (SUM) is constructed which serves as a formal frame classifying the salient structures and functions of empirical existence.

Learned Insignificance of Credibility Signs. [PDF]
Cogn SciAbstract A large part of how people learn about their shared world is via social information. However, in complex modern information ecosystems, it can be challenging to identify deception or filter out misinformation. This challenge is exacerbated by the existence of a dual‐learning problem whereby: (1) people draw inferences about the world, given ...

Sociophysics models inspired by the Ising model
The European Physical Journal BAbstract The Ising model, originally developed for understanding magnetic phase transitions, has become a cornerstone in the study of collective phenomena across diverse disciplines. In this review, we explore how Ising and Ising-like models have been successfully adapted to sociophysical systems, where binary-state agents ...

Physicists, non physical topics, and interdisciplinarity
Frontiers in Physics, 2022 Defining interdisciplinary physics today requires first a reformulation of what is physics today, which in turn calls for clarifying what makes a physicist. This assessment results from my 40-year journey arguing and fighting to build sociophysics.
