First extension: sharing of plans Sample Clauses

First extension: sharing of plans. The structure of the above described model has been designed to make it easy to add a variety of processes, innovations, or affordances, for example the sharing or communicating of plans, different strategies for deciding what to do, the introduction of “1D printers” able to make any string (but only with certain elements), or different kinds of markets for agents to sell strings to each other. Since sharing of knowledge and instructions – be it online or in person in a makerspace – is a core characteristic of DiDIY activities and the self-image of makers, we decided to include this in a first extension of the basic model. For this extended model we introduced a joint plan library, representing online contexts such as Instructables or Thingiverse. Agents may upload their plans to this joint library for other agents to use. An agent can also decide to download a plan from the joint library. At the moment, due to insufficient amount of empirical data about how and when makers actually decide to share one of their creations or make use of someone else’s instructions, this is both done with a certain probability. Whenever an agent executes a downloaded plan successfully, s/he may decide to give it an up-vote. These up-votes may in turn influence the agents’ decision about which plans to choose from the joint plan library. To include these plan sharing activities into the behaviour of the agents, the main simulation loop was adapted as follows, with the new instructions in italics: Continually, each agent: Considers downloading a plan from the “internet” (joint plan library) Considers a number of plans (including the default random and downloaded ones) with a bias towards more valuable ones Until one works: Assess next plan to see if it would work If so, do plan! And possibly up-vote it. If new, compile and remember plan If have too many plans in memory, maybe forget one (with a bias towards the less valuable ones) Considers uploading one of its own plans To assess the impact of plan sharing, we have conducted a number of simulation runs with both the basic model version and the extended model version. The following figures demonstrate some of the results of this comparison. The graph on the left hand side of each figure shows results for the basic model (without plan sharing), the graph on the right hand side the results for the extended model (with plan sharing). Each graph contains time series data from 10 simulation runs with the same model setup regarding ...
