How 'spontaneous' social norms emerge

Science Daily/UPenn...

02/03/15 
|
A scientific explanation has been provided by researchers for how social conventions -- everything from acceptable baby names to standards of professional conduct -- can emerge suddenly, seemingly out of nowhere, with no external forces driving their creation.
((Hmmmmm.))
To understand how social norms arise, Damon Centola and Andrea Baronchelli invented a Web-based game, which recruited participants from around ...

A predictive function that creats meta news (news about the data of news, or data about the structure of data)

A new algorithm predicts which Twitter topics will trend hours in advance and offers a new technique for analyzing data that fluctuate over time.
