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.
