Abstract

This paper focuses on the decision-making behavior based on the complex adaptive system. Firstly, the paper reviewed the related work of the complex adaptive system and the edge of chaos in complex systems in different fields. Secondly, a general decision model of an agent is established and the condition that an agent is just at the edge of chaos is defined. Thirdly, making use of Langton's coefficient widely used in the research on cellular automata, the paper defines the edge of chaos that describes the decision behavior of agent. Finally, the paper conducts an evolutionary artificial life experiment. Then the connection between the behavior at the edge of chaos and the individual adaptability is illustrated.
