What is cultural homogeneity?
Cultural Homogeneity is a measure
(between zero and one) of how similar agents
are across an entire population.
Cultural homogeneity is defined as the
number of shared facts across all possible pairs
of agents divided by the total possible number
of shared facts across all agents in a
population.
Cultural Homogeneity
A society that achieves a cultural
homogeneity of one is "perfectly
stable.“
Perfect stability means that the
society is in a steady state and no
further connections can change any
