G. Graphs and Status Bar

The Graphs Panel and Status Bar display the values of the response variables. The Graph Panels show how the normalized response variable progresses over time whereas the Status Bar displays the absolute values of the current and the saved state.

Graph Panels

There are seven Graph Panels, each of them displays up to 3 response variables, which are represented by 3 different colors: (1) blue, (2) red and (3) green.

The response variables are always normalized in order to be comparable within the same graph. The following list gives an overview of the graphs with the corresponding response variables that they display; the graph panel is identified by its title above each graph. See F. Response variables for details about each of the response variable

Graph Title	Blue	Red	Green
Energy	Energy		Pixel similarity
Cultures	Cultures	Biggest Culture	Full similarity
Neumann	Neumann Cultures	Neumann Biggest Culture	Neumann Full similarity
Culture's Sim	Position Similarity	Size Similarity	Traits Similarity
Neumann's Sim	Neumann Position Similarity	Neumann Size Similarity	Neumann Traits Similarity
Institutions	Institutions	Biggest Institution	Institution Similarity
Traits	Alive	Foreign

Each graph panel also displays the corresponding normalized values on the top-right (in the same color as the display lines that are associated with them). If you hover over these values, a tooltip text will display the response variable name according to its color.

Stats Bar

The Status Bar on the bottom displays most of the initialization parameters and response variables of the saved (first line indicated with S:) and current states (second line indicated with C:) of the simulation.

Starting from the left, initials are provided that refer to response variables. The following table gives an overview:

Initials	Response Variable
S|C	(S)aved or (C)urrent state
M1|M2|M3|M4	Identifier of the model, see B. Initial Parameters
R|S	(R)andom or (S)tatic (non-random) initialization, see B. Initial Parameters
#x#(#)	Rows x Columns (Radius), e.g. 32x32(6)
F/T	Features / Traits
M/S	Mutation / Selection error
a/a'	Institutional Influence / Agent Loyalty
D/P	Democracy / Propaganda
`@ #/#/#	Epoch / Generation / Iteration
E	Energy
PS	Pixel Similarity
Cultures:#/#/#=#*#*#	Cultures (Cultures with at least 3 agents) / Biggest culture / Full similarity = Position similarity * Size similarity * Traits similarity
Neumann's:#/#/#=#*#*#	Neumann cultures (Neumann Cultures with at least 3 agents) / Neumann biggest culture / Neumann full similarity = Neumann position similarity * Neumann size similarity * Neumann traits similarity
Inst.:#/#/#	Institutions / Biggest institution / Institution similarity
Traits: #/#	Foreigners / Alife

A tooltip text is also provided and serves as a reminder of the parameter names and response variable names.
