I think any science needs a calculus to make it sound and exact. A calculus for a science consists of a language for specifying, and a set of rules for verifying the problems of that science. I believe that a calculus for Theoretical Social Science (economics, political science, law, social psychology, and ...) is Formal Logic (game theory, epistemic logic, deontic logic, and etc). Assume a flock of
birds immigrating from the
Caspian see to the Persian golf. They immigrate in a very neat shape.
It is possible to assume that there is a leader in front, and all other
birds notice their direction of flying looking the leader; if the
leader swerves to left (right), all the birds swerve to that direction
as well, and it is why the immigration looks very neat. Another
possible assumption is that In a multi-agent
system, each agent is a rational
individual with specific beliefs and obligations, who communicates with
other agents in parallel. Also as time passes, agents may develop
(evolution), interact and cooperate with each other. |
