One thing about this sim bothers me. Having points bounce off each other means they migrate more slowly and increases the effective contact graph diameter. Bouncing points aren't meaningful for the system being modeled. Me staying at home doesn't restrict your movements: our decisions are independent.
IMHO he should turn off the collision model. The effect will still be there, but the logistic parameters will be different.
- IgorPartola 7y agoYeah this is good for cells in a blood stream, not humans. Also humans interact with other humans unevenly: you see your family and coworkers more often and for more time than a random barista. Except the barista where you always get your coffee on your lunch break. And then you have social mavens who interact with loads of people. If you work in an office with 15 other people, your social circle is likely on the order of like 100-200 people. If you do public speaking for a living, your social circle is in the thousands. Would be better to simulate it that way.
