Yes, reputation was automatically updated each time step.
We thought it would make sense to decrease reputation for “unsustainable” and “violent” behaviors (e.g. over-harvesting apples, tagging other agents) and increase reputation for “sustainable” and “peaceful” behaviors. But these rules were all hardcoded.
I’m interested in what this negotiation protocol would look like. If one agent is “smarter” than its counterparts, what would prevent it from negotiating a more favorable outcome for its principal?
