Homophilic networks evolving by mimesis

We provide a mathematical model for networks based on similarities (homophily) and evolving by mutual imitation (mimesis). We show that such social networks will converge to a state of segregation, where the in-group interactions will be maximal and there will be no out-group flow of information. We establish some connections between our model and the Wolfram model for fundamental physics.
