The assumption, from looking at the graphs, is that the echo chambers themselves are magnetized, and that the end result is strong polarization. An a...
And the distribution of allegiances is here: RegulatedSpeech004.png
The question now arises: If the above model (whose setup initially seemed reasonable) isn't qualitatively accurate, what modifications need to be mad...
The above pictures show the main problem with this model: Initially slanted echo chambers unslanted themselves and each converged to the same neutral...
The results shouldn't be surprising. The magnetization of the entire society itself is a martingale, as are the magnetizations of each of the individ...
Thus far, we have not entertained the possibility of there being various different "echo chambers" with different slants. Suppose that we have ten su...
Mathematically, why does this happen? Why is there consensus, and why is it usually at a position so close to the initial magnetization of the popula...
The code used to run the simulations is attached as a .txt file. It is written for MATLAB, and will have to be renamed to have the file extension .m ...
The oft-cited claim: "There is no need for outside interference in the marketplace of ideas. The better ideas will consistently win out over the...
As of the time of writing this post, I have a model that can roughly explain the phenomenon of polarization, the role of confirmation bias in the extr...
