5/ We hypothesize that polarization exists when socially structured attributes align with group identities to create a compressible identity information space where knowing someone’s group identity allows you to guess related attributes. Conversely, knowing some attributes tells you their identity.
6/ Identity compression produces information spaces where people can recognize friend or foe with minimal data, since the identity-information relations are highly redundant.
