Abstract

Studies concerning social patterns that appear as a result of propaganda and rumors generally tend to neglect considerations of the behavior of individuals that constitute these patterns. This places obvious limitations upon the scope of research. We propose a dynamical model for the mechanics of the processes of polarization and formation of echo chambers. This model is based on the Rashevsky neurological scheme of decision-making.
