| Abstract | |
The majority vote model is one of the simplest opinion systems yielding distinct phase transitions and has garnered significant interest in recent years. This model, as well as many other stochastic lattice models, are formulated in terms of stochastic rules with no connection to thermodynamics, precluding the achievement of quantities such as power and heat, as well as their behaviors at phase transition regimes. Here, we circumvent this limitation by introducing the idea of a distinct and well-defined thermal reservoir associated to each local configuration. Thermodynamic properties are derived for a generic majority vote model, irrespective of its neighborhood and lattice topology. The behavior of energy/heat fluxes at phase transitions, whether continuous or discontinuous, in regular and complex topologies, is investigated in detail. Unraveling the contribution of each local configuration explains the nature of the phase diagram and reveals how dissipation arises from the dynamics. (AU) | |
