A player is an individual member of the population being modeled. If the population is structured, that is, modeled with one or more [[#Graphs|graphs]], each player occupies a vertex (a position, a node) in each [[#Graphs|graph]], and each vertex is occupied by a player. This being so, we sometimes say "player" to refer to their "vertex" and vice versa. | A player is an individual member of the population being modeled.

A player's traits | A player's traits include their inherent [[#Selection|fitness]]. If they [[#Reproduction|reproduce]], their offspring gets a (perhaps [[#Mutation|mutated]]) copy of their properties. If an interaction [[#Game|game]] is being played, their traits also determine their [[#Strategy|strategy]] which will impact their behavior, which will impact how much the game [[#Payoff|pays off]] for them, which then also impacts their [[#Selection|fitness]]. | ||
