Thank you.

It is a novel approach to interdependence. The article gives new insights and perhaps a new model.

Thank you.

English language and style are fine/minor spell check required

I have carefully reviewed the manuscript for spell checking.

The abstract is very long and conceptual. Key concepts should be presented, approaches that have been employed, and the expected results to prompt reading continuity. The current formatting makes reading tiresome.

I have revised the abstract by shortening it to present the key concepts, approach and expected results.

In the introduction, the word Overview is unnecessary.

The word “Overview” was removed from the Introduction.

The final chapter in the introduction to the paper organization is missing.

I have reorganize the manuscript by renumbering the Introduction’s sections.

The introduction and its subtopics got very confusing. It is not known where the introduction to the theme is being made and where is the theoretical framework. The reading is confusing.

I have edited the manuscript to separate the introduction to the theme from the theoretical framework to reduce confusion.

Fix typos and formatting on paper.

I have carefully edited the manuscript for typos and formatting.

The symbols of the equations in the paper should be explained. Some of them were not correctly posted.

I have explained all of the symbols in the equations. These comments by the reviewer were particularly helpful.

Honestly, I had a hard time understanding what the main contribution of the paper was. The massive reading of the texts, Lack of schematic images impairs the reader's perception.

I have edited the manuscript to highlight its main contribution of modeling a social harmonic oscillator.  I have added two more images to assist readers.

The article needs to be better explained and highlighted to make it easier for the journal to read interested parties.

I have edited the manuscript to better explain it and by highlighting it to make it easier for interested parties to read.
