Formula(s) and Quantities

$F_{i} (𝐱, 𝐲, 𝐳, t) = \frac{a}{\sum_{j^{'}} w_{i j^{'}} (t)} \sum_{j = 1}^{N} w_{i j} (t) (x_{j} (t) - x_{i} (t)) + b \sum_{m = 1}^{M} B_{i m} (t) (y_{m} (t) - x_{i} (t)) + c \sum_{l = 1}^{L} C_{i l} (t) (z_{l} (t) - x_{i} (t))$
$B (t)$ represents medium follower matrix
$C (t)$ represents influencer individual matrix
$F_{i} (t)$ represents interaction force
$a$ represents parameter to scale attractive force from other individuals
$b$ represents parameter to scale attractive force from media
$c$ represents parameter to scale attractive force from influencers
$t$ represents time
