In this work we compare social clusters with spin clusters and compare different properties. We also try to compare phase changes in market and labor stratification with phase changes of spin clusters. Then we compare the requisites for redrawing the boundaries of social clusters with respect to energy minimization and efficiency. We finally do a simulation experiment and show that by choosing suitable link matrices for agents and attributes of the same and of different agents it is possible to have at the same time behavior similar to chaos or punctuated equilibrium in some attributes or fairly regular oscillations of preferences for other attributes, using greatest utility or efficiency as a criterion for change in conflicting social networks with different agents having different preferences with respect to the attributes in the agent himself or with similar attributes in other agents.
