Social media sites can bring people together or push them further apart. A modeling study shows how small changes in posting or recommendation rules can flip a system from consensus to polarization. In PNAS Nexus: ow.ly/hLrY50Y3KPk
New system states introduced with the parameter μ. The same parameterization except for different innovation probability μ can lead to consensus in a homogeneous topology or two polarized communities. On the left, the innovation probability μ = 1. On the right, μ = 0.1.

they can amplify uncooperative behavior, and iv) overall, the interplay between network topology and reputation shapes whether cooperation thrives or collapses. Kudos to my co-authors Chunpeng Du, Fei Fang, Alfonso de Miguel-Arribas, Yikang Lu, Yanan Wang, and Xin Pan. (4/4)

ii) direct reputation matters the most: timely, first-hand information helps individuals identify good partners & avoid exploitative ones; iii) group structure plays a double role: in supportive environments, higher-order interactions reinforce cooperation; in competitive ones 3/

Reputation isn't assigned to individuals alone, but to relationships -capturing both direct experience (“how you behaved with me”) & indirect information (“what others say about you”). We show that i) reputation can strongly boost cooperation, even in difficult social dilemmas 2/

In this regime, diffusion becomes dynamically arrested due to interlayer asymmetry, fragmenting the system into disconnected dynamical components & preventing it from converging to equilibrium. We also show that this transition can occur in synthetic and real-world systems 3/4

Yamir Moreno @ymoreno.bsky.social · 28/10/2025
Previous works showed that directionality within layers can enhance diffusion (e.g., superdiffusion & prime regime). Now, we demonstrate analytically and numerically that asymmetric interlayer links can both reproduce these regimes and, remarkably, lead to a novel phenomenon. 2/4

Now out: "Directionality-induced jamming in multiplex networks" (arxiv.org/abs/2510.22634). We uncover a previously unreported diffusion regime, termed directionality-induced jamming, in multiplex networks that arises solely from the directionality of interlayer couplings. (1/4)

We evaluate the performance of our framework in predicting typical critical behavior in spreading dynamics on various synthetic and real-world networks. Our results show that governing rules can be learned effectively and significantly improve prediction accuracy. 3/4

More specifically, the learned governing rules further refine and guide the representative learning of neural networks from a series of dynamic graphs. This combination enables knowledge-based prediction for the critical behavior of dynamical networked systems 2/4
