Project Summary

At this point we have a segregation simulator. The slight bias among the types of people forms segregated islands of people. Now what I am thinking is that we can extend this racial segregation simulator to a racio-linguistic segregation simulator in the first hand (a linguistic segregation simulator can also work).

If we add the race and language factors at the same time, then we will have three different populations speaking two different languages. Then,


The thesis hypothesis is: The more types of fractionalization there are (racial, linguistic, religious), the more seperate the populations become. However, there is also the probability that, as a result of too many fractionalizations, the population might end up being more homogeneous (that is the case when the hypothesis is proven to be false).
