Query: A model of interacting multiple choices of continuous opinions   We present a model of interacting multiple choices of opinions. At each step
of the process, a listener is persuaded by his/her neighbour, the lobbyist, to
modify his/her opinion on two different choices of event. Whether or not the
listener will be convinced by the lobbyist depends on the difference between
his/her opinion with that of the lobbyist, and with that of the revealed social
opinion (the social pressure). If the listener is convinced, he/she will modify
his/her opinion and update his/her revealed preference, and proceed to persuade
his/her next neighbour. If the listener is not convinced by the lobbyist,
he/she will retain his/her revealed preference, and try to persuade the
lobbyist to change his/her opinion. In this case, the direction of opinion
propagation is reversed. A consensus is reached when all the revealed
preference is the same. Our numerical results show that consensus can always be
attained in this model. However, the time needed to achieve consensus, or the
so-called convergence time, is longer if the listener is more concerned with
the public opinion, or is less likely to be influenced by the lobbyist.
