* * * * agent-based model（cont） A key notion is that simple behavioral rules generate complex behavior. This principle, known as K.I.S.S. (Keep it simple stupid) is extensively adopted in the modeling community. Another central tenet is that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. ABM agents may experience learning, adaptation, and reproduction. Most agent-based models are composed of: (1) numerous agents specified at various scales; (2) decision-making heuristics; (3) learning rules or adaptive processes; (4) an interaction topology; and (5) a non-agent environment. * * * * * * * *
