Opinion formation models typically represent each individual as a single variable. However, in practice each individual holds interconnected beliefs whose internal organization may influence collective outcomes. To explore this dependence, we study a three-state opinion model on a network of networks in which each agent has an internal belief graph and interacts with other agents through an external social graph.
