- Description
- DARPA-SN-15-71 New Capabilities for Experimental Falsifiability in Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences (RFI) The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Defense Sciences Office (DSO) is requesting information on and suggestions for research to develop novel methods, including new tools, platforms, techniques, and/or approaches, that could contribute to the development of unprecedented capabilities for testing the experimental falsifiability of (i.e., disconfirming) models, theories, and hypotheses in social, behavioral and economic (SBE) sciences. DARPA/DSO is interested in methods that ultimately advance efforts to test different theories and models at new scales to identify reliable and robust "first principles" of emergent behaviors and state transitions in different kinds of human social systems. Being able to identify any such first principles could significantly improve our understanding of the properties of resilient and adaptive social systems, i.e., systems that are likely to promote cooperation and coordination over conflict, and that are most effective at solving problems or distributing scarce resources. This understanding could also foster the creation of methods for optimizing effective human-machine systems, and/or methods for structuring and enhancing teams and organizations to lead to greater creativity, innovation, and productivity. See attached DARPA SN-15-71.
