Without this experience, no changes or modifications are possible. So we, in ef-
fect seeded this experience in order to give the actors different evaluations of what
they heard. The values that have a belief greater than the indifference threshold are
highlighted.
Eight cycles of consultation take place where each Actor asks all other actors a
sequence of questions concerning their own experiences. The questions are formal-
ized as ( more n) or ( same n) where 'n' is the music reference (1 or 2). The replies are
used to modify each Actor's own distribution of beliefs on some view of the group's
opinions:
