Lifetime average re-encounter rate and encounter base rate for the parameter space.
The larger the social world is relative to the organism's ability to navigate within it, the more re-encounter rate exceeds the encounter base rate and thus the greater the effect of autocorrelation. In a non-spatial world—or a world an organism can circumnavigate daily—the effect of autocorrelation on re-encounter disappears.
