An Adaptive Network Model to Simulate Consensus Formation Driven by Social Identity Recognition

Figure 1

An illustration of the Holme model, with node shapes representing states. At each time step, the system is updated according to the process illustrated in (a) with probability ξ or (b) with probability 1 − ξ. In (a), a node i is selected at random and one of its links (in this case the link (i, j)) is rewired to a new node l holding the same state as i. In (b), node i affects one of its neighbor j and makes j adopt the state of it.
