Opinion polarization in human communities as a consequence of beliefs being interconnected (1.0.0)

The present model demonstrates that how two basic human features: (1) that in the human brain beliefs are interconnected, and (2) people strive to maintain a coherent belief system, gives rise to opinion polarization and the appearance of fake news.

Release Notes

The parameters can be set in the file “DataAndFunctionCMS”, as detailed in the attached description file
