"Antiferromagnetism" in social relations and Bonabeau model

Physics and Society 2009-11-13 v1

Abstract

We here present a fixed agents version of an original model of the emergence of hierarchies among social agents first introduced by Bonabeau \textit{et al}. Having interactions occurring on a social network rather than among 'walkers' doesn't drastically alter the dynamics. But it makes social structures more stable and give a clearer picture of the social organisation in a `mixed' regime.
