Human-environment feedback and the consistency of proenvironmental behavior
Fig 5
Effect of stochastic fluctuations on behavior-environment dynamics in the bistable case.
(a) Convergence of two trajectories issued from the same initial condition to alternate equilibria. (b) A single trajectory, with color coding for passing time, visits alternate equilibria, from the higher x* (blue tones) to the lower x* (green) to the higher x* (orange) to the lower x* (red). The stochastic simulation algorithm is described in the Methods. Environmental sensitivity ℓ = 0.1 (as in Fig 2A), payoff difference β = −0.25 and social norm threshold ν = 0.3. Other parameters are set to their default values (Table 1).
