Notes

Abstract: We propose a social model of spontaneous self-organization generating criticality and resilience, called Self-Organized Temporal
Criticality (SOTC). The criticality-induced long-range correlation favors the societal benefit and can be interpreted as the social
system becoming cognizant of the fact that altruism generates societal benefit. We show that when the spontaneous bottom-up
emergence of altruism is replaced by a top-down process, mimicking the leadership of an elite, the crucial events favoring the
system’s resilience are turned into collapses, corresponding to the falls of the leading elites.We also show with numerical simulation
that the top-down SOTC lacks the resilience of the bottom-up SOTC. We propose this theoretical model to contribute to the
mathematical foundation of theoretical sociology illustrated in 1901 by Pareto to explain the rise and fall of elites.
