Individuals' opinions and network edge weights coevolve through coupled dynamics. Interaction strength depends on opinion distance. Similar opinions strengthen network connections. Connection strength amplifies opinion influence. This creates feedback between opinion convergence and network structure formation. Interaction function form determines emergent structures and stability.
view paper→Opinion evolution emerges from three coupled processes: diffusion (local influence spreading), convection (directional opinion flow driven by global trends), and reaction (endogenous opinion change). Each level operates at distinct scales—local peer-to-peer, global population-wide, and individual internal—that interact through multi-scale coupling. The system exhibits dynamics from interacting particle theory projected onto opinion space.
