This post takes into account that you read and exercise my first and second (posts on Agent-Base Models & Insight maker. In this post, the focus is the action primitive. We’ll use it to depict the same functionality that we did in the previous post. Then we will use the action primitive to add more logic. Create a

In my previous post (https://galaxiez.com/2019/12/30/creating-agent-base-models-abm-in-insightmaker-part-1/), I covered in detail how to use InsightMaker.com to create Agent-Based models and running them as simulation. This post is taking into account that you read, exercise and understood the previous post. In this post, I’ll show how to deal with more than 2 states by implementing simple rules of personality preferences.
