Modelling radicalization: how small violent fringe sects develop into large indoctrinated societies.

abstract：:We consider a directed graph model for the human brain's neural architecture that is based on small scale, directed, strongly connected sub-graphs (SCGs) of neurons, that are connected together by a sparser mesoscopic network. We assume transmission delays within neuron-to-neuron stimulation, and that individual neuro...
