RE: Link Down?

[Bill Barowy <bill_barowy@terc.edu>]

Randy,

I downloaded the quicktime record of the prisoner dilemma simulation from
your web site.  My reaction is  !!!!!!!!!  I'd love to obtain a copy of
your paper ' Simple Games in a Complex World: A Generative Approach to the
Adoption of Social Norms'

In particular I notice that the first few frames of quicktime show large
variations across cell states, before the system 'settles down'.  Do you
treat this phenomena?  Is it an artifact? (well of course the whole
simulation is an artifact)  What I mean is, are the oscilations indicative
of the initial conditions or are they perhaps due to limitations of
boundary conditions, for example, which might go away if the matrix were
larger?
