  Simulations are performed according to the Axelrod model of culture
dissemination, with modified mechanism of repulsion. Previously, repulsion was
considered by Radillo-Diaz et al (Phys. Rev. E 80 (2009) 066107) as dependent
on a predefined threshold. Here the probabilities of attraction and repulsion
are calculated from the number of cells in the same states. We also investigate
the influence of some homogeneity, introduced to the initial state. As the
result of the probabilistic definition of repulsion, the ordered state
vanishes. A small cluster of a few percent of population is retained only if in
the initial state a set of agents is prepared in the same state. We conclude
that the modelled imitation is successful only with respect to agents, and not
only their features.
