Cross-domain structural pattern
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→System behavior near phase transition becomes scale-invariant. Correlation length diverges as control parameter approaches critical value. Fluctuations at all scales contribute equally near criticality. Universal exponents characterize transition independent of microscopic details. Finite-size effects modify scaling when system size comparable to correlation length.
