7:00 – 4:00 ASRC

• Continuing with Sociophysics

  • Found while reading about opinion dynamics modelling [page 56]: Heterogeneous bounds of confidence: meet, discuss and find consensus! – In this paper, heterogeneous bounds of confidence are studied. The surprising result is that a society of agents with two different bounds of confidence (open-minded and closed minded agents) can find consensus even when both bounds of confidence are significantly below the critical bound of confidence of a homogeneous society. I think that this may represent exploiters and explorers. Need to read.

• Back to NMF
  • setting up sliders to manipulate row, column or cell for a matrix.
    • Changes to the row or col mat should result in a recalculation of the product matrix. Product matrix should just recalculate based on scalars
    • Got the event handlers set up, working on putting sliders in place
• Getting the VPN set up so I can access the DB – no luck. Need to take it up with Heath tomorrow
• 1:00 – 4:00 meeting with Aaron, Theresa, Katy, Greg & Jeremy
