Most mathematical models of opinion dynamics treat attitudes as scalar quantities or positions on a low-dimensional ideological axis. Empirical attitudes, however, are bundles of positions across many policy issues, and the geometry of the…

Surfacic networks are structures built upon a two-dimensional manifold. Many systems, including transportation networks and various urban networks, fall into this category. The fluctuations of node elevations imply significant deviations…
