Navigational efficiency, E , against weighting towards individual navigation, w . The number of influential neighbours is (a) k = 1, (b) k = 3, (c) k = 5, (d) k = 7, (e) k = 9, (f) k = 15. ϵ gives the standard deviation of the individual navigational error. Results shown are the average of 100 simulation runs. The black triangles at w = 1 indicate the theoretical expected navigational efficiency for an individual random walker navigating asocially with the given value of ϵ. Plots for other values of k are qualitatively very similar and are not shown here.
