Needs and decisions in ghetto — •Krzysztof Kulakowski — Faculty of Physics and Applied Computer Science, AGH UST, Cracow, Poland

We consider ghetto as a social group of people ruled by an external power; members of the group feel that their laws are broken; however, attempts to leave ghetto make their situation worse. We discuss the relation of ghetto inhabitants to the ruling power, in the context of their needs organized according to the Maslow hierarchy. Decisions how to satisfy successive needs are undertaken in cooperation with or defection the ruling power. This issue allows to construct a tree of decisions and an adaptation of the tree pruning technique from the game theory. Dynamics of the decisions can be described within the formalism of fundamental equations. The result is that the strategy of defection is stabilized by the estimated payoff.
