Communication in Online Social Networks Fosters Cultural Isolation

Figure 3

Markov chains for the one-to-one and one-to-many communication regimes in the , , model. Nodes represent classes and the directed edges are colored according to between-class transition probabilities. Blue nodes are absorbing classes, red nodes are classes from which consensus is the only reachable equilibrium, and white nodes indicate that from there multiple equilibria are still reachable.
