Score is calculated by averaging a node’s result against all of its neighbors. For the dot in the center, a cooperator, it plays with the cooperative top left node (5), the cooperative bottom left node (5), and the defector on the right (0). The center node’s score is therefore (5+5+0)/3 = 3.67. For the node on the right, its score is 10/1 = 10. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8bd2d81461646cafc43cfe/1586590831086-6GXWV6MH9SDWS1YNVFAL/20140301_Trade-151_0124-copy.jpg Work - Mental Health + Social Media https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8bd2d81461646cafc43cfe/1586590978584-41DPF9XFJY2IM3INL5TU/Screen+Shot+2020-04-11+at+12.42.47+AM.png Work - Mental Health + Social Media https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8bd2d81461646cafc43cfe/1586592187313-KCBE6UD4X2YV220Q70JM/image6.png Work - Mental Health + Social Media https://www.alexanderbrown.work/work/socialdistance monthly 0.5 2020-04-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8bd2d81461646cafc43cfe/1586749323634-LR4MNL53GCADP3UC7NMU/Screen+Shot+2020-04-12+at+8.05.28+PM.png Work - Modeling Social Distancing This is a fairly typical result, even when we vary the population size and other factors. There’s a lot we can dive into here, but I think the biggest takeaway is the difficulty of returning to old social behaviors and not having another outbreak. Even when social distancing is very slowly eased (which, as we discussed above, would be difficult to do), there is often a rebound outbreak, which, although smaller than the first, still requires a rapid return to distancing to contain.
