Abstract

In this paper we study the morphogenesis of an institution when local social interactions are taken into account. The structure we obtain has characteristics of self-organized criticality. After a transient period the system self-organizes into a configuration which is compatible with a high degree of differentiation among different sites and generates typical power laws.

Keywords: Institutions, Self-organization, Differentiation
