The Prisoner's Dilemma and Society
This version of
the Prisoner's Dilemma is java based model for exploring the problem of cooperation versus conflict in groups. The applet below demonstrates the spread of 'altruism' and 'exploitation for personal gain' in an interacting population of individuals learning from each other by experience. Initially the population consists of cooperators and a percentage of defectors (that you set). The advantage of defection is also a variable you can set. A very intereting activity. The display is similar to
conway's game of life. Enjoy
