A pr 1 99 5 Evolution of Cooperation , Di erentiation , Complexity , and Diversity in an Iterated Three - person Game

A non-zero-sum 3-person coalition game is presented , to study the evolution of complexity and diversity in cooperation, where the population dynamics of players with strategies is given according to their scores in the iterated game and mutations. Two types of dierentiations emerge initially ; biased one to classes and temporal one to change their roles for coalition. Rules to change the hands are self-organized in a society through evolution. The co-evolution of diversity and complexity of strategies and interactions (or communications) are found at later stages of the simulation. Relevance of our results to the biological society is brie BLOCKINy discussed.
