Social & Information Contagion Examples
Social and information contagion models study how ideas, rumors, and behaviors spread through networks. They reveal how competing narratives race for attention and how network structure shapes the outcome.
Simulations range from simple rumor propagation to dueling waves of misinformation and fact-checks. They highlight the tipping points where viral spread either fizzles out or saturates the audience.
