In this work we study the collective behaviour in a model of a simplified homogeneous society. Each agent is modelled as a binary perceptron, receiving neighbour's opinions as inputs and outputting one of two possible opinions, according to the conformist attitude and to the external pressure of mass media. For a neighbourhood size greater than three, the system shows a very complex phase diagram, including a disordered phase and chaotic behaviour. We present analytic calculations, mean fields approximation and numerical simulations for different values of the parameters.

Abstract

In this work we study the collective behaviour in a model of a simplified homogeneous society. Each agent is modelled as a binary perceptron, receiving neighbour's opinions as inputs and outputting one of two possible opinions, according to the conformist attitude and to the external pressure of mass media. For a neighbourhood size greater than three, the system shows a very complex phase diagram, including a disordered phase and chaotic behaviour. We present analytic calculations, mean fields approximation and numerical simulations for different values of the parameters.
