Beliefs, Certainty and Complex Systems Structure

In the multi-agent systems field the notion of belief as a primary justification of an agent's decisions has been extensively studied. On the other hand, the concepts of holon and informon developed by Koestler, Sulis, Alonso, Pazos et al. have proved to be a very useful way of to model evolving complex dynamic systems. In this work the relationship between holons, informons, randomness and uncertainty (as the opposed to certainty) in a holonic system that reacts to events, and how the beliefs (and, in some cases, the uncertainty) could influence the way the holons get structured is analyzed.
