We show that on both sides of the critical point, where the order/disorder transition occurs, this temperature changes in sign. This point corresponds to the transition homogeneous/heterogeneous culture in this model, and the entropy of the system also shows a maximum. We discuss the relationship between the lattice temperature and the real temperature, in terms of the cultural traits of the social agents.
