Resolution
Population grid size. Higher = finer detail, slower simulation.
200
Temperature (T)
Social noise — independent thinking, information chaos. Low = rigid conformity. High = nobody listens to anyone. Phase transitions happen at critical T.
1.00
Coupling (J₀)
Social cohesion — how strongly people influence their neighbors. High J = tight communities, herding behavior. Negative J = contrarian dynamics.
1.00
Interaction range — how far influence travels. Low α = mass media (global reach). High α = word-of-mouth only.
3.0
External Field (h)
Global rational propaganda — a persistent directed message pushing the population toward one alignment. State media, national campaigns.
0.00
Anisotropy (K)
Institutional structure — cultural norms, constitutions, two-party systems that penalize neutrality (K>0) or reward disengagement (K<0).
0.00
Damping
How fast injected propaganda fades. Low = persistent campaigns. If ΔJ decays slower than h, susceptibility outlasts the message (hysteresis).

Injection Mode
Left-click to inject. Rational (h) = "believe this" — directly biases opinion. Irrational (ΔJ) = makes people susceptible to peer influence without specifying what to believe. Right-click for opposing direction.
Click = Rational (h)
Click = Irrational (ΔJ)

Presets
Pre-configured scenarios. Each tests a different regime of the model.
