👉 Encounter math is a mathematical framework that models and analyzes the interactions between individuals or groups in social settings, particularly focusing on how encounters influence behavior and decision-making. It uses mathematical tools like graph theory, probability, and dynamical systems to represent and study these encounters, capturing the complexity of social dynamics. By quantifying how individuals encounter one another and respond based on these interactions, encounter math helps predict outcomes such as cooperation, competition, or the spread of behaviors, providing insights into phenomena like social norms, collective action, and network effects.
