title: Democracy: Order out of Chaos creator: Situngkir, Hokky creator: Surya, Yohanes subject: Complexity Theory subject: Economics subject: Social Psychology subject: Epistemology description: We construct a majority cellular automata based model to explain the power-law signatures in Indonesian general election results. The understanding of second-order phase transitions between two different conditions inspires the model. The democracy is assumed as critical point between the two extreme socio-political situations of totalitarian and anarchistic social system - where democracy can fall into the twos. The model is in multi-party candidates system run for equilibrium or equilibria, and used to fit and analyze the three of democratic national elections in Indonesia, 1955, 1999, and 2004. date: 2004-06 type: Departmental Technical Report type: PeerReviewed format: application/pdf identifier: http://cogprints.org/3696/1/2004q.pdf identifier: Situngkir, Hokky and Surya, Yohanes (2004) Democracy: Order out of Chaos.
