Self-organizing scale-free patterns in a phase-modulated periodic connecting system.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The regularity of scale-free patterns in rank-size relations has been observed in word frequency, city size distribution, firm size distribution, and gene expression. Because of the common emergence of this regularity, understanding its mechanisms has been of great interest. For obtaining the scale-free pattern regularity, various models based on the rich-get-richer mechanism have been proposed; however, the overarching procedure of searching for the "rich" is in disagreement with the locally interacting behaviors seen in the aforementioned natural and social phenomena.

Results

We implemented a computational model of a resource distribution system inspired by observations of word connectivity, which is created by local constraints with periodic and phase modulatory
