Details To achieve a creative society, it is important to maintain a diversity of values. However, due to automatic alignment of values, maintaining diverse values is a challenge. We propose that the noise, i.e, the uncertainty in understanding others’ values, may play a key role in realizing a creative society by moderating values alignment. Using a hybrid opinion dynamics model, in which values is represented as both continuous and discrete categories, we simulate online social networking with various levels of noise and perception bias. We found that the positive effects of noise are twofold: it helps to moderate the alignment process of values within a group and to improve the social inclusiveness of extremism views. We conclude that noise contributes to preventing social fragmentation and monolithicization, and therefore plays a key role in realizing a creative society.
