From: Catalysing cooperation: the power of collective beliefs in structured populations
The level of action mutation (ÎŒA) is constant in all simulations. Hence, the mutation rate ratio change is caused by manipulating the belief mutation rate (ÎŒB). Increased belief mutation frequency leads to a lower takeover time, meaning higher belief diversity promotes a faster spread of cooperators in a population. The takeover is notably faster on the NWS networks, but the effect of belief is more pronounced on the ER and BA networks. The results are averaged over 1000 runs per network type and parameter set.
