Let me fire up Jupyter to make it pseudo-formal...
I believe it does, yes. Except that I also believe that aligned expressions tend to induce contagious alignments, just in heterogeneous ways. E.g. if we agree, I may just perceive an identity we share and strengthen my belief in that.

And this (perceived) shared identity via aligned expressed proxies becomes another belief within the existing network? Or does it simply reinforce the belief in shared mental models? Sorry, I’m just trying to conceptualize the relationship between the three :)

Oh I'm still unclear on it all, too. I wanted to decompose it much more rigorously, but the data don't really exist! I believe (intuitively and from extant work) that the social identities are what we're mostly evaluating, and the rest of the graph was a happy accident.

So our varied mental models encapsulate a lot (although I think the identity part is relatively important) and they are extremely hard to decompose! (I'm working on a graphical story to convey this as we speak. Stay tuned in a few weeks!)
