🧠 New preprint on adaptive contagion dynamics on #hypergraphs by Mancastroppa, Karsai, & Barrat.
The key result: adaptive, locally informed behavior can neutralize explosive phase transitions in higher-order contagion. Group-level awareness suppresses nonlinear reinforcement, shrinks bistability, and can turn a discontinuous transition into a continuous one. A nice mechanistic link between adaptivity, higher-order interactions, and phase transitions.
