“…However, the main purpose of this section is not to present a thorough EEG-based experimental setup, analysis techniques, or statistical results. Some results are described in our earlier research papers Plikynas, Basinskas, Kumar, et al, 2014;. 7 In this review, however, our main focus is (1) to show some baseline EEG results (Stage 1) used to falsify the conceptual OSIMAS assumptions about the oscillatory nature of agents; and (2) based on the individual tests, to discuss the group-wide EEG experimental framework (Stage 2), which is designed to test cross-correlations of EEG signals between individuals within groups in real time.…”

“…Our research may contribute to the resolution of the above-mentioned problems via the earlier proposed (Plikynas, Basinskas, Kumar, et al, 2014) multidisciplinary research framework OSIMAS (oscillations-based multiagent system), where we have formulated a set of assumptions and postulates that lay the ground for the OSIMAS simulation paradigm.…”

“…A closer look at applied social networks research reveals some related approaches, which deal-in one way or another-with simulations of the spread of field-like information in social networks. For instance, the spread of behavior in dynamic social networks (Zhang & Wu, 2011), spread of behavior in online social networks (Centola, 2010), urban traffic control with coordinating fields (Camurri, Mamei, & Zambonelli, 2007), mining social networks using wave propagation (Wang, Tao, Xie, & Yi, 2012), network models for the diffusion of innovations (Valente, 1996;Young, 2006), and virtual field-based simulation of complex social systems (Plikynas, 2010;Plikynas, Basinskas, Kumar, et al, 2014;Raudys et al, 2014). A number of other wave-like information-diffusion approaches have been introduced, such as gradient routing (GRAD), directed diffusion, co-fields at the TOTA Programming Model (Mamei & Zambonelli, 2006), and CONRO (Shen, Salemi, & Will, 2002).…”

“…In short, the major insights of this chapter are derived from the novel oscillationbased multi-agent system (OSIMAS) social simulation paradigm. The major conceptual implications of the OSIMAS paradigm, which are presented in our earlier publications Plikynas, 2010;Plikynas, Basinskas, Kumar, et al, 2014;, are essentially oriented to field-theoretic ways of modeling and simulating individual and collective mind states, whereas the major prospective practical applications of OSIMAS are targeted at the simulation of real social phenomena. 4 The major methodological tools 3 In general, self-organization is interpreted as a global order or coordination that arises from spontaneous local interactions between components of an initially disordered system.…”

This chapter takes a multidisciplinary perspective to examine a fundamentally novel approach to the agency and field-based nonlocal organization of digitally interconnected social systems. The main theoretical cornerstone of the new modeling approach (OSIMAS-oscillation-based multi-agent system) is built on the premises of an agent as a coherent system of oscillations. In our approach, the theoretical assumptions of the oscillating agent model are backed up with experimental brain-imaging studies inspired by cognitive neuroscience (electroencephalography-EEG), which reveal people's states of mind in terms of the specific distribution of coherent brainwaves. Based on the premises of OSIMAS and our experimental findings, in this chapter we review our two different approaches to the construction of oscillating agent models: (1) phonons as vibrating quanta, and (2) quantum mechanical wave function. Both approaches are designated for the simulation of the oscillating agent model and subsequently field-like nonlocal social interactions. Some initial work-in-progress simulation results of stylized local and nonlocal excitation propagation in the social mediums are also provided in the final section.

The synchronization of loosely-coupled chaotic oscillators, a phenomenon investigated intensively for the last two decades, may realize the philosophical concept of "synchronicity"-the commonplace notion that related events mysteriously occur at the same time. When extended to continuous media and/or large discrete arrays, and when general (non-identical) correspondences are considered between states, intermittent synchronous relationships indeed become ubiquitous. Meaningful synchronicity follows naturally if meaningful events are identified with coherent structures, defined by internal synchronization between remote degrees of freedom; a condition that has been posited as necessary for synchronizability with an external system. The important case of synchronization between mind and matter is realized if mind is analogized to a computer model, synchronizing with a sporadically observed system, as in meteorological data assimilation. Evidence for the ubiquity of synchronization is reviewed along with recent proposals that: (1) synchronization of different models of the same objective process may be an expeditious route to improved computational modeling and may also describe the functioning of conscious brains; and (2) the nonlocality in quantum phenomena implied by Bell's theorem may be explained in a variety of deterministic (hidden variable) interpretations if the quantum world resides on a generalized synchronization "manifold".
