The applet illustrates the evolutionary naming-game model. The model
exhibits
bio-linguistic transition, where emergence of a linguistic coherence
(large success rate) is
accompanied by the jump in the learning ability. Clusters of agents
using the same language can be considered as niches that favour large
learning ability. This is an example of the Baldwin effect. To observe
this effect let the system initially evolve at comm_prob=0.15 and then
shift it (upper scrollbar) to e.g. 0.3. For more
