Document Summary
An object contains multiple fields that can accessed and modified (destruct name_of_object field1 field2) Comes with a set of functions to access and set the parameters. Trained a few birds on how to open from the box. Blue dots are where birds would open the blue (same for red) Treatment conditions do better at solving the puzzle. When one bird solves the puzzle, the control group increases. Graph: follows an s shape where there is an asymptote. There is a lot of imitation. Study: reinstalled puzzlebox for only 5 days. Only 40% of birds had been present in first exposure. Proportion of seeded option increases to 1. 0. Birds are approaching a consensus across 20 days of experiment. Migrated into a group with another solution. Sigmoid shape of diffusion curve reaching asymptote of 75% Different level of solvers in treatment vs. control. Assume agents can be in any state. Reduce uncertainty in population by converting uncertain agents to decided agents.
