Abstract

We propose a mechanism of opinion evolution in a closed system. The opinion evolution process can be described as the disposal of multi-information inputs with one opinion accepted as the output. We introduce the opinion neutrality in the system, observing the characteristics of the opinion evolution process; and find that the initial opinion distribution fractions play an important role in the final results. When the two opposite opinions' fraction are equal, the neutrality fraction will affect the final opinion distribution dramatically.
