forming network structure. These can be the base for more complex studies of
how resource is eventually distributed and social inequality emerges. This also
involves cost-benefit calculations bringing back the notion of rational actors,
making correct decisions for maximum gain.
Following code snippets from the model, show how the actors making ties
based on the following information:
• For every actor calculates how many actors are around me within viewing distance.
• For every actor I have a tie with, calculate if I have to compete and
break the bond.
• For every actor I do not have a tie with, calculate if I should form one.
