This study combines data on human grouping patterns in a comprehensive and systematic study and identifies a discrete hierarchy of group sizes with a preferred scaling ratio close to three, which could reflect a hierarchical processing of social nearness by human brains.

It is shown that population structure is indeed self-similar or fractal-like with the number of individuals or groups belonging to each successively higher level of organization exhibiting a constant ratio close to 4, and suggested that human social networks self-organize in response to similar optimization principles found behind the formation of many complex systems in nature.

In this paper it is shown how several modifications of rules and parameters alter further the spatial and hierarchical structure of the simulated urban system.

22 Citations2002David A. Young
A new computer simulation method for migrating human populations, which moves simulated human actors on a lattice of points according to simple probability rules, suggests that seemingly complex problems of human space-time population dynamics may be resolved into simple behavioral rules and that migration phenomena can be subjected to scientific analysis.
