Phys. Rev. Lett. 84, 3185–3188 (2000)Self-Organized Networks of Competing Boolean AgentsReceived 6 May 1999; revised 23 December 1999; published in the issue dated 3 April 2000 A model of Boolean agents competing in a market is presented where each agent bases his action on information obtained from a small group of other agents. The agents play a competitive game that rewards those in the minority. After a long time interval, the poorest player's strategy is changed randomly, and the process is repeated. Eventually the network evolves to a stationary but intermittent state where random mutation of the worst strategy can change the behavior of the entire network, often causing a switch in the dynamics between attractors of vastly different lengths. © 2000 The American Physical Society URL:
