Dear Nigel and others
In the paper Jager, W., and Amblard, F. (2004). Uniformity,
Bipolarization and Pluriformity Captured as Generic Stylized Behavior
with an Agent-Based Simulation Model of Attitude Change. we found that
opinion dynamics depend on the size of the population. The paper can be
downloaded from http://www.rug.nl/staff/w.jager/Jager_Amblard_CMOT_2004.pdf
Section 5 shows different results for a larger population than results
presented in section 4.
Cheers
