| Abstract | |
In this paper, a model for a spatial network evolution based on a Metropolis simulation using an energy function that depends both on the distance between the nodes and the stated preferences is studied. The agents influence their network neighbors using the CODA model, where each agent has a preference between two options based on its probabilistic assessment of which option is the best one. The algorithm generates realistic networks for opinion problems as well as temporal dynamics for those networks. The transition of a random state to an ordered situation, as temperature decreases, leads to different outcomes depending on the relative strength of the spatial and opinion components of the energy.
