//Suponhamos a existência de dois tipos de ocupantes
de solo na Amazônia, um com menor capacidade técnica
e outro com maior capacidade. Por exemplo, comparemos
dois tipos de fazendeiros de soja, ou dois tipos
de pecuaristas. A idéia é que a tecnificação requer
investimento, mas reduz o desmatamento e aumenta os
lucros a médio prazo. Em que condições uma "onda"
de empreendedores com tecnificação pode ocupar
uma região como a Amazônia, que originalmente é
ocupada por fazendeiros/pecuaristas baseados em
práticas extensivas?//

//Poderíamos desenvolver um modelo teórico, e depois
usar os dados de censo e do PRODES para aplica-lo
num caso prático.//

====Territories, corridors, and networks: A biological model for the premodern state====
|Monica L. Smith, 2007| Complexity, 12(4)28-35|

**Abstract:** When depicted on maps as homogenous territorial wholes, ancient states are visually summarized as static entities in a way that conceals the highly fluid dynamics of polity formation, maintenance, and growth. Models derived from studies of animal behavior show that territory does not consist of an undifferentiated use of the landscape. Instead, the concept of territory can be parsed into a series of resource-rich nodes linked by corridors of access, surrounded by unutilized regions and boundaries marked at points of competition. Ancient human groups also can be analyzed as having perceived and occupied landscapes through strategies of flexible networks in which nodes and corridors were surrounded by unutilized spaces around which boundaries were selectively identified and defended. This strategy is identifiable in human social groups at different levels of complexity ranging from hunter-gatherers through ancient chiefdoms and states.

====An algorithm for detecting community structure of social networks based on prior knowledge and modularity====
|H. Du, M. W. Feldman, S. Li, X. Jin, 2007|Complexity, 12(3)53-60|

\\

**Abstract:** An algorithm is proposed to detect community structure in social network. The algorithm begins with a community division based on prior knowledge of the degrees of the nodes, and then combines the communities until a clear partition is obtained. In applications such as a computer-generated network, Ucinet networks, and Chinese rural-urban migrants' social networks, the algorithm can achieve higher modularity and greater speed than others in the recent literature.

====The evolution of technology within a simple computer model====
|W. Brian Arthur, Wolfgang Polak, 2006|Complexity 11(5), 23-31|

\\

**Abstract:** Technology - the collection of devices and methods available to human society - evolves by constructing new devices and methods from ones that previously exist, and in turn offering these as possible components - building blocks - for the construction of further new devices and elements. The collective of technology in this way forms a network of elements where novel elements are created from existing ones and where more complicated elements evolve from simpler ones. We model this evolution within a simple artificial system on the computer. The elements in our system are logic circuits. New elements are formed by combination from simpler existing elements (circuits), and if a novel combination satisfies one of a set of needs, it is retained as a building block for further combination. We study the properties of the resulting build out. We find that our artificial system can create complicated technologies (circuits), but only by first creating simpler ones as building blocks. Our results mirror Lenski et al.'s: that complex features can be created in biological evolution only if simpler functions are first favored and act as stepping stones. We also find evidence that the resulting collection of technologies exists at self-organized criticality.
