Chicago South Shore & South Bend Railroad 1 and 28 at Burnham, Illinois, sometime in April 1975, photo by Chuck Zeiler. I did not keep careful notes on this trip, so please feel free to add/correct any information. Number 1 is on a CERA sponsored fan trip from Chicago to (I believe) Michigan City and return, featuring sequential cars 1, 2, 3, and 4. Number 28 is on the rear of a regularly scheduled train.

April 3 will be Peter Froncek, PhD student, Computational Social Science, George Mason University. Peter’s talk entitled “A Community Approach to Norms on Various Spatial Topologies"
Abstract: The different ways individuals socialize with others affect the conditions under which social norms are able to emerge. In 1986, Robert Axelrod developed the norms game, an agent-based model which sought to explain the individual-level processes which lead to the establishment or collapse of a norm. I will introduce a new computational model of norm emergence. While the model is founded on the principles of Axelrod's norms game, it also has the ability to incorporate different social network topologies, thus allowing a more realistic exploration of the diffusion of norms. The model also implements a modified set of theoretical assumptions and mechanisms that reflects the reality of normative social interactions in a more faithful fashion. In doing so, the model is able to exhibit interesting emergent behavior suggesting norm establishment even without the use of so-called meta-norms. Moreover, the model shows that the success of the norm is not directly proportional to the rate of vigilance in the population, thus illustrating the value of subversive behavior in society as its integral functional element.
