Marcus2d
The Marcus agent is in one of two modes: incubation mode or work mode. In incubation mode, he functions like a DiscreteAgent2d. He is subject to to influence and has an energy budget he can spend on resisting influence, if he chooses. In work mode, he is completely resistant to influence.
-
If he expends his energy budget on resisting influence, he must start a new incubation period.
-
If he accepts influence he can leave incubation mode and immediately start work.
-
If he resists successfully, he spends his remaining energy on work.
-
If he doesn't encounter influence during his incubation period, he has his full energy budget available.
