Hyperedge overlap promotes polarization, as it reduces exposure to different opinions and reinforces local consensus 🤝

4/6 This effect is structural.
As higher-order interactions become denser, agents increasingly participate in heterogeneous groups, which suppress polarization and promote moderation.
We also show this analytically!

When group interactions are sparse, agents are often embedded in homogeneous groups, limiting exposure to dissent and reinforcing extreme views.

2/6 Most opinion-dynamics models rely on pairwise interactions 👭+👬+👫+....
However, opinion formation often happens in groups:
👥👥👥👥👥👥+👥👥👥👥👥👥+👥👥👥👥+... where discussions can reinforce or moderate views.
This demands a higher-order framework to explicitly capture group interactions and homophily.

Sparse group interactions polarize…but dense group interactions moderate!!
Polarization emerges as a structural effect of how groups are organized: www.nature.com/articles/s42...

6/7 Strikingly, the model partially reconstructs empirical epidemic trajectories, recovering the temporal ordering of strain emergence observed in genomic surveillance.
Overall, epidemic dynamics 📈 depend crucially on the topology of genotype networks, beyond low-dimensional antigenic descriptions.

5/7 We then apply the model to Influenza A (H3N2). Its modular genotype network naturally produces:
☑️ lineage turnover
☑️ competition between multiple strains

4/7 The key result is that network topology alone controls the endemic behavior:
▶️ Homogeneous networks → stable equilibria.
▶️ Modular networks with mutant swarms → recurrent oscillations.
No seasonal forcing is required to produce these oscillations!!!

3/7 To study this, we introduce an eco-evolutionary epidemic model coupling:
✔ Contagion
✔ Immune memory & cross-immunity
✔ Mutation as diffusion on genotype networks
All within a minimal, analytically tractable framework.

2/7 Classical eco-evolutionary models describe antigenic drift in low-dimensional antigenic spaces.
However, genomic data tell a different story: real viruses evolve on heterogeneous, modular genotype networks, with mutant swarms capturing different viral lineages.

We show that viral 🦠 evolution is best captured through complex genotype networks, whose topology alone can drive oscillatory endemic dynamics and epidemic variability:
