Communication in Online Social Networks Fosters Cultural Isolation

Figure 13

Typical runs under the two communication regimes for spatial random graphs with = 100, = 3, and = 2. Every distinct combination of traits is visualized with its own unique color. The top graphs show the initial setup and the bottom graphs show the two populations in equilibrium. The remaining graphs visualize the distribution of cultural traits after 33% and 66% of the number of simulation events needed to reach equilibrium. is the number of simulation events, and is the number of events where an agent adjusted her set of cultural traits.
