The EVS are based on a spin glass algorithm, extended to a higher diversity of interacting agents with a flexible structure of connections, where agents possess an abstract set of characteristics, and seek to form connections with other agents according to the degree of compatibility between these characteristics. In addition to that our models use resource related characteristics. In the majority of EVS models each agent receives some resource or spends some resource at each time step. EVS uses this concept in order to simulate a principle of openness of natural systems and the dissipation of energy or other resources. Population has a diversity of elements, defined via some parameters or vectors.
Agents randomly check other agents in the matter of compatibility.
The structure of connections between elements is very dynamic and stochastic. Each agent receives and spends some resource at each time step, allowing the simulation of resource flow through the agent and through the system.
