Five Rules for the Evolutionof Cooperation

<< < (2/2)

Numsgil:
I dunno, not losing altruistic behavior is in some ways similar to developing it from scratch.  Evolution likes to break things, and I'd say having a behavior not break would be almost as important as seeing it evolve from scratch.

Endy:
Haven't seeen it truly self evolve, is easy however to design it into the sim.

The main method I've found is with epigenetics for identifying relativly close family. It makes sense that the standard "be nice to all member of my own species" doesn't work well over a long run. Eventually the bots are only competing against their own distant/close relatives, giving cannibots a decisive advantage. If the bots are altruistic towards only closely related bots the cannies loose their advantage.
