An interesting paper about an agent-based model of an economy based on commons. They added quite some complexity including agents with various character traits that form "cultures" and experimented with variations of inclusion, exclusion, and shared inventories.

Similar to my much simpler experiments in https://transform-social.org/en/texts/tools/ inclusion and shared inventories increase the fulfillment of needs. Without shared resources, those agents with more egoist character traits run into economic issues.
Quote from the paper: "Consequently, in the long run, traditionalist’s wellbeing
decreases because their level of cooperation is too low to develop successfully."

There is also a German language podcast episode about the paper by @FutureHistories
https://www.futurehistories.today/episoden-blog/s03/e06-stefan-meretz-und-manuel-scholz-waeckerle-zum-simulieren-von-utopien/
#StefanMeretz wrote a German language article "Verteilte commmonistische Planung" in the book "anarchistische gesellschaftsentwürfe" which even mentions the fediverse as a way to explain organization in commonism but I haven't found him or other authors of the paper here yet.

On the one hand, it's social media and therefore distraction. On the other hand, it's the Real Thing, and it's academically important for theorists to be in it.
