Paradox of integration---Cellular automata approach
We discuss the self-deprecating strategy introduced by Peter Blau as one of
stages of the process of social integration. Recently we have introduced a
two-dimensional space of status, real and surface one ( and ), and we
have demonstrated that with this setup, the self-deprecating strategy
efficiently prevents the rejection [K. Malarz and K. Kulakowski, International
Journal of Modern Physics C 30, 1950040 (2019)]. There, the process of reducing
the conflict was described by master equations, i.e. a set of differential
equations describing evolution of density of actors of status .
Here we reformulate the problem in terms of probabilistic cellular automata.
The obtained results for number of actors of status are
qualitatively the same as in the previous approach, both for synchronous and
asynchronous version of the automaton. Namely, an enhancement of the surface
status compensates a deficiency of the real one.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figures, 10 movies available online; for FENS10 conferenc
