Morphogenesis of an institution on a lattice game

Abstract

In this paper we study the morphogenesis of an institution when local social interactions are taken into account. The structure we obtain has characteristics of “self-organized criticality”. After a transient period the system self-organizes into a configuration which is compatible with a high degree of differentiation among different sites and generates typical power laws.
