SOC in a Nutshell

l Is the attempt to explain the occurrence of 

complex phenomena

Background Material

8/3/2019 15 SOC Presentacion

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/15-soc-presentacion 5/49

What is a System?

l A group of components functioning as a whole

8/3/2019 15 SOC Presentacion

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/15-soc-presentacion 6/49

Obey the Law!

l Single components in a system are governed

by rules that dictate how the componentinteracts with others

8/3/2019 15 SOC Presentacion

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/15-soc-presentacion 7/49

System in Balance

l Predictable

l States of equilibrium – Stable, small disturbances in system have only local

impact

Systems in Chaos

l Unpredictable

l Boring

8/3/2019 15 SOC Presentacion

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/15-soc-presentacion 9/49

Example Chaos: White Noise

Self-Organized Criticality

8/3/2019 15 SOC Presentacion

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/15-soc-presentacion 13/49

Self-Organized Criticality: Defined

l Self-Organized Criticality can be considered asa characteristic state of criticality which is

formed by self-organization in a long transient

period at the border of stability and chaos

8/3/2019 15 SOC Presentacion

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/15-soc-presentacion 14/49

Characteristics

l Open dissipative systems

l The components in the system are governed

by simple rules

8/3/2019 15 SOC Presentacion

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/15-soc-presentacion 15/49

Characteristics (continued)

l Thresholds exists within the system

l Pressure builds in the system until it exceedsthreshold

8/3/2019 15 SOC Presentacion

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/15-soc-presentacion 16/49

Characteristics (Continued)

l Naturally Progresses towards critical state

l Small agitations in system can lead to system effects calledavalanches

l This happens regardless of the initial state of the system

8/3/2019 15 SOC Presentacion

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/15-soc-presentacion 17/49

Domino Effect: System wide events

l The same perturbation may lead to small

avalanches up to system wide avalanches

8/3/2019 15 SOC Presentacion

Example: Domino Effect

By: Bak [1]

8/3/2019 15 SOC Presentacion

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/15-soc-presentacion 19/49

Characteristics (continued)

l Power Law

l Events in the system follow a simple power law

8/3/2019 15 SOC Presentacion

Power Law: graphed

8/3/2019 15 SOC Presentacion

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/15-soc-presentacion 21/49

Characteristics (continued)

l Most changes occurs through catastrophic

event rather than a gradual changel Punctuations, large catastrophic events that effect the

entire system

How did they come up with this?

8/3/2019 15 SOC Presentacion

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/15-soc-presentacion 23/49

Nature can be viewed as a system

l It has many individual components workingtogether 

l Each component is governed by lawsl e.g, basic laws of physics

8/3/2019 15 SOC Presentacion

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/15-soc-presentacion 24/49

Nature is full of complexity

l Gutenberg-Richter Law

l Fractalsl 1-over-f noise

Fractals:

l Geometric structures with features of all length

scales (e.g. scale free)l Ubiquitous in nature

l Snowflakes

l Coast lines

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/15-soc-presentacion 32/49

Can SOC be the common link?

l Ubiquitous phenomena

l No self-tuningl Must be self-organized

l Is there some underlying link

Experimental Models

8/3/2019 15 SOC Presentacion

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/15-soc-presentacion 34/49

Sand Pile Model

l An MxN grid Z

l Energy enters the model by randomly addingsand to the model

l We want to measure the avalanches caused

by adding sand to the model

8/3/2019 15 SOC Presentacion

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/15-soc-presentacion 35/49

Example Sand pile grid

l Grey border represents

the edge of the pile

l Each cell, represents a

column of sand

8/3/2019 15 SOC Presentacion

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/15-soc-presentacion 36/49

Model Rules

l Drop a single grain of sand at a randomlocation on the grid

l Random (x,y)

l Update model at that point: Z(x,y) ‡ Z(x,y)+1

l If Z(x,y) > Threshold, spark an avalanchel Threshold = 3

Adding Sand to pile

l Chose Random (x,y)

position on grid

l Increment that celll Z(x,y)‡ Z(x,y)+1

l Number of sand grainsindicated by colour code

Avalanches

l When threshold has

been exceeded, an

avalanche occurs

l If Z(x,y) > 3l Z(x,y)‡ Z(x,y) – 4

l Z(x+-1,y)‡ Z(x+-1,y) +1l Z(x,y)‡ Z(x,y+-1) +1

Conclusion

l Shortfallsl

Does not explain why or how things self-organize into thecritical state

l Cannot mathematically prove that systems follow the

power law

l Benefitsl Gives us a new way of looking at old problems
