3.7 Simple rock – scissors – paper IPS model

This model is an implementation of a rock – scissors – paper succession model.

In this system, as in the game of rock-scissors-paper each of the three classes beats one other in a cycle. This leads to waves of succession across the space as each class ‘flees’ from the class that beats it and ‘invades’ the class that it beats.

Typical behaviour of this model is seen in the video below.
