The Emergent Structure of Simple Behaviors in Complex Networks

" summary

Co-evolving network-plus-behavior models yield concrete, testable claims: a bounded-outdegree PD model with directed sponsored links (outdegree ≤ K), parameters A,B and lifespan delta admits a stable interior equilibrium where cooperators build social capital and can accumulate up to twice as many long-lived ties as defectors, sustaining a mixed cooperate/defect fraction via P,Q strategies. A 1D Schelling variant (window W, tau=1/2) provably gives local rather than global segregation (run lengths O(W)), explained by frequent “firewalls.” Sparse, expansive graphs (bounded max degree; spectral gap) reliably aggregate initial majority beliefs with high probability.
