Abstract

May randomness (real numbers, opinions) evolve into order (regularity) with time? We study some polarization and symmetry properties, which emerge in time evolution of opinions (real numbers) within entries of two and three-dimensional lattices, which had initial randomness.

Keywords

opinion dynamics polarization symmetry lattice models self-organization emergence of order
