We present an opinion model founded upon the principles of the bounded confidence interaction among agents. Our objective is to explain the polarization effects inherent to vector-valued opinions. The evolutionary process adheres to the rule where each agent aspires to increase polarization through communication with a single friend during each discrete time step. The dynamics ensure that agents' ultimate (temporal) configuration will encompass a finite number of outlier states. We introduce deterministic and stochastic models, accompanied by a comprehensive mathematical analysis of their inherent properties. Additionally, we provide compelling illustrative examples and introduce a stochastic solver tailored for scenarios featuring an extensive set of agents. Furthermore, in the context of smaller agent populations, we scrutinize the suitability of neural networks for the rapid inference of limit configurations.
