#sociaOntology meets software, this a challenging but highly rewarding process.
We wrote a little something! @nwlandry.bsky.social and I talk about how new software to study networks with groups (like @xgi.bsky.social !) can help interdisciplinary collaborations tackle old questions from social ontology and the science of groups.

Our Physical Review Letter looks at how to get power-law distributions of cascade size without tuning or self-organization to criticality by allowing cascades to improve in quality and jump over gaps or dead-ends

It might start as a joke, belief, or rumor, easy to dismiss. But then it twists, builds momentum, and spreads like wildfire. Why do some ideas die out while others go viral?

There's amazing work on group effects in higher-order networks, but not a lot of connections to social ontology, collective action, and group selection.
Led by @jstonge.bsky.social with expert guidance of @rharp.bsky.social we reviewed and formalized these connections.

Have you ever wondered how to model effective governance on hypergraph? Say, even in the case of a polarized society. We’ll, it’s complicated. But we took a stab at it for you👇
