Economics
Markets are emergent phenomena: prices arise from countless individual transactions, trends from collective sentiment shifts. Traditional economics assumes rational actors and equilibrium; we study how real market dynamics emerge from bounded rationality and local interactions. Agent-based models with stigmergic communication reveal how market microstructure creates macro phenomena like bubbles, crashes, and regime changes.
