Abstract
Abstract. We introduce a simple open-ended model which describes the emergence of a shared vocabulary. The ordering transition towards consensus is generated only by an agreement mechanism. This interaction defines a finite and small number of states, despite each individual having the ability to invent an unlimited number of new words. The existence of a phase transition is studied, analyzing the convergence times, the cognitive efforts of the agents and the scaling behaviour in memory and time.
