Knowledge Base Repository

In addition to research papers, the Design Society is developing several valuable resources for those interested in the study of design. These include a repository of PhD theses, a library of case studies and transcripts of design activities, and an archive of our newsletters.

Abstract:
This study modelled service dynamics, specifically focusing on cognitive misalignments among actors, and conducted a multi-agent simulation using Bayesian inference, referring to an improvisational dance experiment. The results revealed that individual cognition influences context convergence: "No decay" condition fixed initial biases and hindered convergence, whereas faster decay increased fluctuation but enabled reconfiguration, suggesting the need for unlearning. When actors weighted others’ expressions less, cognitive misalignments widened despite strong subjective conviction.
