Figure 5

Evolutionary dynamics for prioritizing public information. The rise of Heider agents (green nodes) facilitates the invasion of defectors (red nodes), and the population becomes polarized before being invaded by defectors. Growth of cooperation is generally associated with an increasing number of positive links and decreasing number of communities. The plots are obtained by using a simulation composed by 5 × 106 steps for p = 0.2 and q = 0.8. The size of the population is N = 100, iteration frequency is i = 10, mutation rate is µ = 0.01 and the change of reputation is r = 0.3. The figure illustrates the proportion of friend-focused agents (blue curves), Heider agents (green curves), defectors (red curves), fraction of cooperation (cyan curves) and exploitation (magenta curves), the number of communities (black curves) and positive links (yellow curves). Panel IV shows the long-term average values of different types of agents, actions, instability, prosperity, and the number of communities (see colors in the legend).
