  • Abstract
    We report experiments performed with our new simulation tool for multi-agent Prisoners´ Dilemma games. Investigations of realistic situations in which agents have various personalities (Pavlovian, greedy, or conformist) show interesting new results. For the case of Pavlovian agents the game has non-trivial but remarkably regular solutions. Our results may lead to a better understanding of large organizations and constitute a more viable model for the evolution of cooperation in living organisms than those offered in the literature
