From: Messengers: breaking echo chambers in collective opinion dynamics with homophily

a Echo chambers form due to limited connectivity and homophily in the baseline setup, b consensus is achieved by introducing Messengers (marked with red circles). Fill colors agents opinions, green lines communication links, and the width of the gray ring shade indicates the spatial precision error. The dashed gray rings and the blue ring show the contours of the information distribution and the contour related to the mean value of the collective, respectively.
