A toy model of faith-based systems evolution

A simple agent-based model of the evolution of faith-based systems (FBS) in human social networks is presented. In the model, each agent subscribes to a single FBS, and may be converted to share a different agent's FBS during social interactions. FBSs and agents each possess heritable quantitative traits that affect the probability of transmission of FBSs. The influence of social network conditions on the intermediate and final macroscopic states is examined.
