Abstract
Abstract: While the advantages of Theory of Mind reasoning have been extensively researched, evolution of Theory of Mind in a network requires additional attention. Differences in network structure may affect the Theory of Mind dynamics and this study aims to determine whether this results significant differences in Theory of Mind evolution patterns. The setup includes experimental and control conditions, which differ by the initialization type: the experimental network is initialized using Preferential Attachment and the control network uses Random initialization. Members of each network play Rock-Paper-Scissors-Spock-Lizard for multiple rounds in each run. After the final round, counts of each order of Theory of Mind strategies are collected as the results of the run. The results show a significant difference in evolution patterns of Theory of Mind across networks. They also suggest that presence or absence of nodes with a relatively higher amount of connections also affects the network dynamics and that they may increase or lower the chance of lower order of Theory of Mind outcompeting a higher order Theory of Mind strategy.
