Changes in “body offset” for seven illustrative trials. We define “body offset” as the relative difference between body configurations (D₁ + D₂). A body offset of 0 is perfect mimicry. The graph demonstrates that the model qualitatively replicates two findings of the original psychological study. The agents are capable of mimicking each other's body configuration even without knowledge of their status, and there is a tendency for body offset to decrease all the way to 0, although mutual contact can already be made when body offset falls in the range [−1, 1].
