摘要：Due to the development of social media, the mechanisms underlying consensus and chaos in opinion dynamics have become open questions and have been extensively researched in disciplines such as sociology, statistical physics, and nonlinear mathematics. In this regard, our paper establishes a general model of opinion evolution based on micro-mechanisms such as bounded confidence, out-group pressure, and in-group cohesion. Several core conclusions are derived through theorems and simulation results in the model: (1) assimilation and high reachability in social networks lead to global consensus; (2) assimilation and low reachability result in local consensus; (3) exclusion and high reachability cause chaos; and (4) a strong "cocoon room effect" can sustain the existence of local consensus. These conclusions collectively form the "ideal synchronization theory", which also includes findings related to convergence rates, consensus bifurcation, and other exploratory conclusions. Additionally, to address questions about consensus and chaos, we develop a series of mathematical and statistical methods, including the "energy decrease method", the "cross-d search method", and the statistical test method for the dynamical models, contributing to a broader understanding of stochastic dynamics.
