 Each Sytizen is represented by the following parameters:
    * Team - a three-bit value representing the in-group of the Sytizen.
-   * Energy - a nine-bit value 0 =< e <= 511, and initialized to 20.
+   * Energy - a nine-bit value 0 =< e =< 511, and initialized to 20.
      * res grant 10 energy when consumed by the Sytizen.
    * Genotype - the genetic makeup of the Sytizen that determines its overall behavior in the world. This is represented by two, four-bit values:

 At the beginning of an event, a Sytizen will first pay a metabolism cost of 1 energy. If this depletes the energy to 0, the Sytizen is removed and the event ended. The neighborhood of the Sytizen is then scanned, and the location and type of any Element or empty space is recorded within a Manhattan distance of four. The Sytizen will then consume one neighboring RES within two Manhattan distance from them. A consumed RES bestows 10 energy on the Sytizen. Then, any genetic-specific behavior is performed as described above.
-If the Sytizen is still alive and their total energy is greater than 30, they will attempt to procreate. Any in-group members within a Manhattan distance of four are sorted by energy. If the highest energy amount is greater than 40 RES, that Sytizen is selected to breed. If an empty location is available, an offspring will appear with a starting energy of 20, and the energy of each parent reduced by 10. The offspring will inherit one of the parent's Altruism values and Parochial values with 0.5 probability each. Thus, a PA and an NPNA could produce any of the 4 categories of phenotype. Once the genes are established, the parochial and altruism values are each subject to mutation with probability 0.02. If a mutation occurs, the new value is increased or decreased by 1 with 0.5 and 1-0.5 probability respectively.

 Finally, the Sytizen engages in movement. All Sytizens are movement-biased towards any RES visible to them in a given event. The normalized locations of any RES within manhattan distance four are summed, and a vector is determined from the average of those locations. They take a single step, and the event is concluded.
