Abstract

Python code for the figures and simulations in Schniter (2026), "Conflict-Mediated Group Size Regulation: A Theory of Supraoptimal and Suboptimal Group Size." Includes scripts for Figure 1 (per-capita payoff and fission threshold), Figure 2 (viable vs. non-viable exclusion regimes), and a simulation of the Case 2 orphaning mechanism. No empirical data are included. See README.md for parameters, usage, and requirements.
