Thresholds of Behavioral Flexibility in Turbulent Environments for Individual and Group Success
( a ) Average utility score ( b ) Number of agents Figure 6 . Equality .
( a ) Average utility score ( b ) Number of agents Figure 7 . Inequality .
Figure 8 presents another graph showing the influence of just one or two time steps . This case begins with 50 Type S and 50 Type C . The probability to change type and the probability to change vision both = 1 .

Figures 9 and 10 show the process and outcomes when vision is fixed at 2 and 0 , respectively . In Figure 9 , the clustering types clearly outperform the spreading types . Here the probability of changing types is 1 , but some clustering agents and some spreading agents are stuck on the “ losing ” team because their thresholds were met before the utility scores diverged .
