The name is absent



Another interesting property that emerges from our model is group beliefs (Tuomela,
1992) and misbeliefs (Doran, 1998). When an individual imitates another, he
believes in the
individual he is imitating. This can lead to group beliefs or misbeliefs.

Also, we were able to see with our model that if an individual A is not social towards
individual B, most probably he will also not be social towards all the individuals of B’s social
group. This can lead to the emergent formation of different social groups.

In the next chapter we will introduce our Behaviours Virtual Laboratory, where the
mentioned experiments were carried out.
