Abstract:

We will discuss pattern formation and critical regimes during spatial contagions of four different types: epidemics, opinion polarisation, social myths, and social unrest. The presented model combines Maximum Entropy principle with Lotka-Volterra dynamics, and the results are analysed using methods of percolation theory. The identified critical regimes separate distinct phases, implying that small changes in individual risk perception could lead to abrupt changes in the spatial morphology of the epidemic/social phenomena.
