arXiv paper models how computation costs shape the evolution of cooperation among agents
A new preprint on arXiv examines how cooperation emerges in systems made up of many interacting agents. The authors note that earlier evolutionary game theory work typically separates social interactions from the physical costs of behavior, and their approach links the two. The study uses artificial life style simulations to trace how cooperative strategies and computational demands influence each other over time.
