Neighborhood Radius Variation

Compare how different neighborhood sizes affect segregation. Moore radius 1 (8 neighbors) is standard. Radius 2 (24 neighbors) creates stronger integration pressure. Radius 3 (48 neighbors) makes segregation harder to achieve.

Radius 1 (8 neighbors)

Unhappy: 0%
Similarity: 0%

Radius 2 (24 neighbors)

Unhappy: 0%
Similarity: 0%

Radius 3 (48 neighbors)

Unhappy: 0%
Similarity: 0%
Key Insight: Larger neighborhoods make agents consider more diverse contexts, reducing segregation intensity. With radius 3, agents need 30% similarity among 48 neighbors (≈15 similar agents), making clustering harder. Smaller neighborhoods allow tighter segregation with fewer similar neighbors required.
