Human Society

Research on human societies currently focuses on understanding the evolution of social complexity, the emergence of hierarchies, and the role of trust and cooperation in shaping societal structures. This involves employing computational models, including agent-based models and large language models (LLMs), to simulate social interactions and predict societal outcomes, often incorporating concepts from thermodynamics and econophysics. These studies aim to provide a more quantitative and predictive understanding of human social dynamics, with implications for fields ranging from economics and sociology to artificial intelligence and the design of more equitable and sustainable societies.
