The crescent shape forms quickly from an initial normal distribution. (a) The initial distribution (Gini index \(G=0.06\)). (b) 100 time-steps: beginning of the crescent (\(G=0.11\)). (c) 1,000 time-steps: fully developed crescent (\(G=0.26\)). (d) 10,000 time-steps: boomerang shape emerges after many time-steps (\(G=0.61\)). All diagrams are scaled such that 100 money or information is the maximum value of money or information for a single agent in the crescent distribution shown in part (c). Note that the axes on the boomerang distribution extend beyond 100.
