Watch polarization emerge from homophily: "Birds of a feather flock together"
Homophily: Particles in the same cluster (color) attract each other. "Birds of a feather..."
Clustering: Each group pulls toward its centroid. Forms tight echo chambers.
Rewiring: Random particles switch groups. Introduces noise/exploration.
Increase homophily β Watch echo chambers form!
1. Set Homophily to 50-80%
2. Watch clusters separate
3. Add Clustering 30-50%
4. See tight echo chambers form
5. Add Rewiring 5-10% to prevent total isolation
