Social translucence as a transition-inducing mechanism in complex socio-ecological systems

As well-known, the interplay between human beings and their environment is complex and non-linear, with changes to initial conditions and local behaviors often being associated with the emergence of dramatically different global (macroscopic) changes. This paper discusses the problem of inducing significant behavioral changes in ecologically biocomplex systems. The role of social translucence in this context is hypothesized and reasoned upon. Elements of a theory of social translucence are provided, and requirements are derived from them. Two architectural models matching those requirements and ranging from the micro to the macro social scale are discussed.
