Small Group Evolution Whitman Richards Scott Atran et al, Marc Sageman Rajesh Kasturirangan, Kobi Gal AFOSR MURI Review 17 Dec 07
3
The Problem Typical Group Representation: Number of Graphical Forms: n=6: 110 n=8: 850 n=10: 10 million n=12: 150 billion A Picture is NOT worth 1000 words !!
4
Leadership: Bonding: Diversity: L = 1.0 B = 1.0 D = 0.92 Proposed Solution: Three subgraphs that capture key properties of group formation
5
L ~ normalized sum of diff in vertex degrees B ~ avg. number of among vertex & neighbors D ~ num. K 2 separated by at least two edge steps (Non-adjacent clusters of Kn increase diversity.) L, B, D parameters are not independent Leadership: Bonding: Diversity: L = 0.67 (1.0) B = 0.875 (1.0) D = 0.33 (0.92)
6
Question Can only three parameters (L,B,D) adequately describe a group during its evolution (i.e, is this compression of pictorial information sufficient) ? Ans: Yes ! but ……. modeling the evolutionary dynamics will require the application of theories for strategic play….
7
An Example of Group Formation & Evolution (to illustrate strategic aspects and model form)
12
Note: adding a cluster reduces overall bonding
14
Equilibrium? What’s Next?
15
Small Group Evolution: example
16
CASE STUDIES 1.Start-up Company 2.Madrid Militant Group
17
Start-up Evolution
18
Madrid Group Evolution
19
Summary 1. L, B, D parameters describe Small Group evolution (pictures are not always worth 1000 words) 2. Evolution entails strategic play (game theoretic) Future 3. Is there an optimal evolutionary path ? (e.g. context, internal vs external forces on group, objectives ) => analysis of patterns of strategic reasoning

(Non-adjacent clusters of K n which increase diversity.) Definitions n = number of vertices; d i = degree of vertex v i Disjoint dipoles are separated by at least two edge steps
