Table 1. The modeled predator–prey interaction timeline.

Prey generation	Interaction frame	Time step	Program procedures
Generation 1	Frame 1	Step 1	Predators-move Prey-react Prey-pay-cost Predators-search Predators-observe Predators-analyze Predators-decide
		Step 2	Predators-initial-act Predators-feel Prey-react Prey-pay-cost Predators-observe Predators-learn Predators-analyze Predators-decide
		Step 3	Predators-final-act Predators-feel Prey-react Prey-pay-cost Predators-observe Predators-learn
	Frame 2 … Frame 50	(Repeat the three time steps for each interaction frame)
	Reproduction stage		Prey-selectively-die Prey-lay All-prey-die prevent-extinction Predators-turnover Prey-emerge
Generation 2 … Generation 500	(Repeat the 50 interaction frames and the reproduction stage for each generation)
