Editing Bounded rationality (section)

==Influence on social network structure==
Recent research has shown that bounded rationality of individuals may influence the [[Network topology|topology of the social networks]] that evolve among them. In particular, Kasthurirathna and Piraveenan<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Kasthurirathna|first1=Dharshana|last2=Piraveenan|first2=Mahendra|date=2015-06-11|title=Emergence of scale-free characteristics in socio-ecological systems with bounded rationality|journal=Scientific Reports|language=en|volume=5|issue=1|page=10448|doi=10.1038/srep10448|pmid=26065713|pmc=4464151|bibcode=2015NatSR...510448K|issn=2045-2322|doi-access=free}}</ref> have shown that in [[socio-ecological system]]s, the drive towards improved rationality on average might be an evolutionary reason for the emergence of scale-free properties. They did this by simulating a number of strategic games on an initially random network with distributed bounded rationality, then re-wiring the network so that the network on average converged towards Nash equilibria, despite the bounded rationality of nodes. They observed that this re-wiring process results in [[scale-free network]]s. Since scale-free networks are ubiquitous in social systems, the link between bounded rationality distributions and social structure is an important one in explaining social phenomena.
