Figure 1. Stationary bit distribution as a function of N.

Each bit (square) corresponds to the weighted sum of the fraction of time (i.e. the analytically computed stationary distribution) the population spends in strategy configurations in which b^q = 1. Blue (red) cells identify those bits that are employed at least ¾ of the time with value b^q = 1.0 (b^q = 0.0). The analysis provided extends for groups sizes (N) between 2 and 10 (rows). Other model parameters: Z = 100, β = 1.0, F/N = 0.85, w = 0.96, ε = 0.05, μ≪1/Z.
