From: Collective Motion as an Ultimate Effect in Crowded Selfish Herds
An exemplary network topology that moves an agent in an evolved dodger strategy, i.e., shifting along the herd edge to expose inner neighbours. The network acquires the occupancy states (whether a cell is occupied) and neighbourhood sizes (the number of Moore neighbourhood agents) of the four adjacent cells and triggers the heading direction with the maximal output value. Specifically, when the western cell has a large neighbourhood size, the preference towards moving to the northern cell is enhanced (the grey squares). The southern cell’s neighbourhood size also positively affects the movement towards the east (the black circles).
