The dataset explains the dynamics of an agent-based simulation conducted over 157,097 steps, tracking the behaviors and interactions of artificial agents under varying environmental pressures and population structures. It contains 12 key metrics:
tick: Simulation step or iteration.
cooperators: Number of cooperative agents.
defectors: Number of defecting agents.
super_reciprocators: Number of agents employing advanced cooperative strategies.
free_riders: Number of agents exploiting resources without contributing.
avg_alignment: Average alignment index of the agents (scale 0–1).
entropy: A measure of system diversity.
coherence: Degree of collective alignment.
adaptation_pressure: Measure of agents' stress in adapting to environmental changes.
environmental_stress: External stress imposed on the system.
mean_energy: Average energy levels of agents.
mean_reputation: Average reputation levels of agents.
