Phase Boundaries and Critical Transitions in Coupled Epidemic–Behavioral Systems

2025-10-07

Abstract excerpt

Epidemics are nonlinear adaptive processes in which pathogen spread and human behavior form a tightly coupled feedback loop. Individual decisions about protective measures create strategic interactions. These interactions can either accelerate disease spread or drive collective suppression. We introduce a theoretical lattice-based agent model that fuses SIS contagion with an evolutionary game, systematically explo...
