Preliminary Results

Overview

The initial round of data seems to roughly coincide with the findings of Choi and Bowlse that Parochial Altruism is consistently the dominant behavior of benefit in the simulation. Thus far, variations in resource availability do not seem to effect this, though adjustments to the simulation parameters are still being addressed. Non-Parochial, Non-Altruists have ocassional spikes in frequency, as was suggested in the previous work, but do not come close to the dominant influence of PAs. However, Parochial, non-altruists are often high in population and under certain parameters tend to be far and away the dominant force in behavior and can create locked-in scenarios of populations interspersed with each other and leaching from the resources of each other in a self-sustaining symbiotic relationship.
