📡 Political Communication: 2D Opinion Dynamics

Interactive 2D map of opinion dynamics: agents on a spatial small-world network exchange views under a bounded-confidence (Deffuant) rule while two draggable media outlets push their slant within a reach radius. Live opinion histogram, group shares, polarisation and cluster count.
