I am not sure I follow. The bots indeed do end up clustering into 4 to 5 different clusters, where each cluster represents a certain convergent view. By “keeping the affinity score”, do you mean they keep track of the past interactions, not just compare current views at each step? That would be an interesting improvement, adding memory to the model, but that would be, well, an improvement, not necessarily something you put into a toy model from the beginning. Maybe you mean something else? I’m confused.
Oh, this paragraph seems to suggest your model has a lot more going on that I got from reading this post. Maybe if I followed you links I would find some more details (sounded like they were just extra details that could be skipped)? I got the impression you found a function that has a shape illustrative of what you want and that was it, but this sounds like there’s a lot more going on not described in the text of this post!
Right, this an honest dynamical model, the curves from the followup post is the opinion bots converging or diverging as they interact. I thought I explained it, and I think it’s in one of the blog posts, but looking back at it, apparently not on this site. Thanks!
