-====== Adaptivity of ideology/Multiscale networks ======
-==== Adaptivity of ideology ====
-=== Project Idea ===
-We intend to study the adaptivity of Ideology at hand of a stylized adaptive network model. Nodes of the Network represent individuals and links represent friendship/acquaintance relations that serve for information exchange and social affirmation.
-With that regard, we model the *spread* of two types of 'opinions' on the network.
-* One, where there is an objectively _right_ value, that can be learned and and whose knowledge is useful (provides utility) for the individual and
-* one, where the usefulness of the opinion lies in its conformity with the opinions of one’s neighbors.
-We also intend to model the *adaptation* of the network in both of these processes such that the network structure evolves subject to two competing effects:
-) Rewiring with the aim of better information diffusion and.
-) Rewiring with the aim of conformity to neighbors.
-The research question is: How do these processes interfere with one another - when is living in a 'filter bubble' a rewarding strategy and what does that mean for information spreading.
-A related question could be how groups that are structured in a manner resulting from the above process perform in group decision tasks like voting.
