We study the co-evolution of network structure and node states in a model of
multiple choice interacting agents. The system displays two transitions:
recombination and fragmentation. The recombination transition
distinguishes a
frozen configuration composed by disconnected network components whose
agents
share the same state, from an active configuration with a fraction of links
that are continuously being rewired. The nature of this transition is
explained
analytically in terms of the frustration of the rewiring mechanism
leading to
a divergence of the time to reach the final frozen state. The fragmentation
transition, that appears between two absorbing frozen phases, is an
anomalous
order-disorder transition. The nature of this transition is explained by a
crossover between the time scales that control the structure and state
dynamics.
