Information coevolution spreading model and simulation based on self-organizing multi-agents by Guoxin Ma, Kang Tian, Hongbo Sun, Hong Zhao, Yongyan Wang

“…These complex propagation simulations reveal some interesting phenomena: (1) When counterattacking the spread of a specific source information, blindly increasing the proportion of counterattackers or the information exclusion coefficient may not necessarily be the best choice, even without considering costs. (2) In networks with long-short loop structures, compared to the situation of single information dissemination, the coevolutionary spread of two types of information is more prone to avalanche phenomena, with the S (susceptible) state of information dropping sharply from a steady state of 60% to a steady state of 20% by the 10th generation. …”
