TL;DR
This paper extends the NKCS coevolutionary model by incorporating hierarchical control based on Bookchin's communalism, revealing significant behavioral changes across parameters.
Contribution
It introduces a hierarchical control mechanism into the NKCS model, a novel approach not previously explored in coevolutionary systems.
Findings
Hierarchical control significantly alters system behavior.
Changes observed across various parameter settings.
Demonstrates impact of Bookchin's communalism on coevolution.
Abstract
The NKCS model was introduced to explore coevolutionary systems, that is, systems in which multiple species are closely interconnected. The fitness landscapes of the species are coupled to a controllable amount, where the underlying properties of the individual landscapes are also controllable. No previous work has explored the use of hierarchical control within the model. This paper explores the effects of using a confederation, based on Bookchins communalism, and a single point of global control. Significant changes in behaviour from the traditional model are seen across the parameter space.
