12. The evolution of the quantities Oj (t) and αij (t) is straightforwardly obtained by switching the labels i and j in the equations.
13. The affinity can mitigate the difference in opinion, thus determining the degree of social similarity of two individuals. This observation translates into the analytical form here postulated for d ij t.
