Limited Cognitive Abilities and Dominance Hierarchy
Published 20 Mar 2021 in q-bio.PE and econ.TH | (2103.11075v2)
Abstract: We propose a novel model to explain the mechanisms underlying dominance hierarchical structures. Guided by a predetermined social convention, agents with limited cognitive abilities optimize their strategies in a Hawk-Dove game. We find that several commonly observed hierarchical structures in nature such as linear hierarchy and despotism, emerge as the total fitness-maximizing social structures given different levels of cognitive abilities.
