Abstract:
We investigate the effects of external and autonomous global interaction fields on an adaptive network of social agents with an opinion formation dynamics based on a simple imitation rule. We study the competition between global fields and adaptive rewiring on the space of parameters of the system. The model represents an adaptive society subject to global mass media such as a directed opinion influence or feedback of endogenous cultural trends. We show that, in both situations, global mass media contribute to consensus and to prevent the fragmentation of the social network induced by the coevolutionary dynamics. We present a discussion of these results in the context of dynamical systems and opinion formation dynamics.
摘要:
我们基于简单的模仿规则,研究了外部和自主的全球交互场对具有观点形成动力学的社会主体自适应网络的影响。我们研究了全局场之间的竞争以及系统参数空间上的自适应重新布线。该模型代表了一个受全球大众媒体影响的适应性社会,例如直接的舆论影响或内生文化趋势的反馈。我们证明,在这两种情况下,全球大众媒体有助于达成共识,并防止由协同进化动力学引起的社会网络分裂。我们在动态系统和意见形成动力学的背景下对这些结果进行了讨论。
