8 Appendix - Technical details of the extended `El Farol Bar' model outlined in section 4

8.1 The General Set-up

There are 10 agents. Each notional week (out of a total of 100): the agents construct their new set of models, and evaluated them against the average past utility they would have resulted in if they had been used during the last 10 time periods (and all the other agents had acted as they actually did in the past); they choose the best such model; using this model they decided what to say (possibly referencing what others did and said in previous weeks); then they decide what to do (possibly referencing what the agents have just said as well as past actions etc.). The actions are then recorded.
