In an increasingly globalized world, society confronts complex challenges with numerous interconnected variables. Statistical physics offers a framework to study human behavior by simplifying general situations to the interplay of a few essential parameters. This approach is valuable for comprehending and addressing practical issues, including achieving consensus in areas such as energy production, resource management and poverty reduction. Moreover, it can contribute to the enhancement of deliberative spaces. Our proposal introduces an agent-based three-state opinion model, emphasizing the relationship between neutral and extremist opinions and examining how opinions evolve in tandem with the rearrangement of social ties.
