Network-mediated strategic behavior. Threshold resource redistribution based on relatedness vs relative performance concerns driving risk-taking. Both show network feedback on strategic decisions.
When agents fall below a resource threshold, they solicit resources from connected neighbors based on relatedness. Redistribution creates feedback between kinship network structure and reproduction ability. This enables population survival at lower resource densities but increases network heterogeneity and local centralization.

Risk-taking behavior adjusts based on peer comparisons. Network topology determines how competitive pressures propagate. This peer comparison mechanism affects equilibrium asset prices through aggregated strategic adjustments.
