Chromodynamics of cooperation in finite populations.

PloS one - 7 Mar 2007

Traulsen Arne, Nowak Martin A

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The basic idea of tag-based models for cooperation is that individuals recognize each other via arbitrary signals, so-called tags. If there are tags of different colors, then cooperators can always establish new signals of recognition. The resulting "chromodynamics" is a mechanism for the evolution of cooperation. Cooperators use a secret tag until they are discovered by defectors who then destroy...
