Systemic mechanism of organizing and assembling information

Abstract

Purpose

The goal is to find a systemic information assembling mechanism, which would describe not only a human being's way of organizing the accepted information but also the general information regularities of this process, applied to different information objects.

Design/methodology/approach

Mathematical formalism of Informational Macrodynamics is employed for system modeling of the object's regularities and the main systemic mechanisms. The developed systemic assembling mechanism joins a chaotic oscillation of incoming information frequencies, initiating a chaotic resonance, into a cooperative attractor. A chain of sequentially built attractors generates a collective information dynamic network (IN), whose hierarchy models the multiple information contributions. An information structure of the IN node's attractors is memorized by the key‐lock connections of resonance frequencies.

Findings

The results indicate that formalized functions of the assembling cooperative information mechanisms represent a general attribute of a system.

Practical implications

A wide area of applications includes behavior analysis, cognition, artificial intelligence, data organization and management, social systems, and education.

Originality/value

The considered results bring together the formal systemic model of the regularities of collective macrodynamics and the mathematical evaluation of a complex individual's behavior in a collective environment.
