Simulating the spread of a virus from an infected individual to a susceptible individual in a small world network using netlogo? - simulation

I am simulating the spread of a virus across a small world network in netlogo. Using the existing model netlogo offers of a small world network where nodes can connect with other nodes using the 'Rewire One' button on the interface I am trying to get it so that if an initially infected individual gets rewired with a susceptible individual the virus will then transfer to that individual and the turtles color will update to red.
Here is the code im using to rewire one turtle with another:
to rewire-one
if count turtles != num-nodes [
setup
]
set rewire-one? true
set rewire-all? false
let potential-edges links with [ not rewired? ]
ifelse any? potential-edges [
ask one-of potential-edges [
let node1 end1
;; if "a" is not connected to everybody
if [ count link-neighbors ] of end1 < (count turtles - 1)
[
;; find a node distinct from node1 and not already a neighbor of node1
let node2 one-of turtles with [ (self != node1) and (not link-neighbor? node1) ]
;; wire the new edge
ask node1 [ create-link-with node2 [ set color cyan set rewired? true ] ]
ask links
[ reed-frost-children]
ask links
[ increment-children ]
set number-rewired number-rewired + 1 ;; counter for number of rewirings
;; remove the old edge
die
]
]
;;I am then using the reed-frost function as the force of infection which can be seen below
to reed-frost-children
ask children with [ child-sus = 1]
[
set num-infected-neighbours length filter [[ child-infected = 1] of ?]
[other-end] of my-links with [not rewired?] ;; i.e not closed? i.e open
set force-of-infection 1 - (1 - prob-infection-child) ^ num-infected- neighbours
if(random-float 1 <= force-of-infection)
[
set child-sus 0
set child-inncubated 1
set child-infected 0
set child-almost-infected 0
set child-recovered 0
set inncubation-period 100
show-turtle
set color orange
set size 1
ask link-neighbors with [ child-infected = 1]
[
ask my-links
[
set color orange show-link
ask other-end
[
set color orange
]
]
]
ask my-links [set closed? false] ;; closed i.e. not open
]
]
However the virus is not transmitting when an infected rewires with a susceptible. Any ideas?

NetLogo: link an agent to another, ask things to the agent and other things to the linked agent

I'm working on extending NetLogo Robotic Factory with a mechanism where there can be only one robot per machine and where the machine takes several ticks to perform the task.
To model this, I'm creating a link between the robot and the machine. And there can only be one link per machine.
It is the first time I'm using NetLogo. So I'm not used to switching contexts. I'm trying to find out how I can give orders to both the robot and the machine when they are linked.
to move
ask robots [
if waiting = 0 [
if can-move? 1 [forward 1 face destination]
set energy energy - 1
]
if waiting > 0 [
set waiting waiting - 1
]
]
end
to set-robots-destination
ask robots [
(ifelse
; ---------------
; Step1: forges
; ---------------
[ breed ] of destination = forges [
ifelse any? forges-here [
if [count links] of one-of forges-here = 0 [
create-link-with one-of forges-here
set color of one-of forges-here red
set waiting 5
if waiting = 0 [
set costs costs + 1
set destination one-of forges
set [color] of one-of materials-here blue
ask my-links [ die ]
]
]
]
[ move ]
]
...
As you can see, repeating one-of forge there create several issues. First of all the syntax to change its color is incorrect. Then, it is unclear if the color will actually turn blue by the end or if the robot will already have left.
I would prefer to find a way to switch context with the linked forge and give it orders directly. Is this possible?

Netlogo: How to make a turtle move towards an unique patch target?

I have turtles (patients), and they can only use only one bed each (white patch). Since patients are randomly generated in a waiting room (green patches), sometimes two or more of them get at the same distance and therefore they find the same patch as its target. I tried to add an attribute to the patch with the purpose of assigning that particular bed to a specific patient. The idea is something like this (please indulge on the ugly code, I'm learning :P):
globals [
waitxmax
waitxmin
waitymax
waitymin
box
]
breed [ patients patient ]
patients-own [ target ]
patches-own [ assigned ]
to setup-wait-room
set waitxmax -15
set waitxmin 15
set waitymax 11
set waitymin 15
ask patches with [
pxcor >= waitxmax and
pxcor <= waitxmin and
pycor >= waitymax and
pycor <= waitymin
] [ set pcolor green ]
end
to setup-beds
let cmy 7
let cmx 15
let dst 3
let nbox 7
ask patch cmx cmy [ set pcolor white ]
let i 1
while [ i < nbox ] [
ask patch (cmx - dst) cmy [ set pcolor white ]
set i i + 1
set cmx cmx - dst
]
ask patches with [ pcolor = white ] [ set assigned false ]
set box patches with [ pcolor = white ]
end
to setup-patients
create-patients start-patients [
set shape "person"
set target nobody
move-to one-of patches with [ pcolor = green ] ]
end
to setup [
clear-all
setup-wait-room
setup-beds
reset-ticks
]
to go
ask patients [ go-to-bed ]
tick
end
to go-to-bed
let _p box with [ self != [ patch-here ] of myself ]
if target = nobody [
set target min-one-of _p [ distance myself ]
ask target [ set assigned myself ]
]
;;; FIXME
if ([ assigned ] of target) != self [ show "not true" ]
if target != nobody [
face target
fd 1
]
end
When I print the two sides of the comparison below FIXME, from the command center I actually get the expected result. For example: both patient 0 and patient 1 have the same target (patch -3 7), but that patch is assigned to (patient 0). I would have expected that comparison to force patient 1 to get a new target since the bed doesn't have his name (I haven't written that code yet), but it always evaluates to true. This is more notorious as more patients I add over available beds (if no beds available, they should wait as soon as one gets free).
When inspecting trough the interface I also see that the patch -3 7 says (patient 0), so I don't know what's happening. Command center example:
observer> show [ assigned ] of patch -3 7
observer: (patient 0)
observer> if ([ assigned ] of patch -3 7) = [self] of patient 0 [ show "true" ]
observer: "true"
observer> if ([ assigned ] of patch -3 7) = [self] of patient 1 [ show "true" ]
;;;; SETUP AND GO
(patient 0): (patch -3 7)
(patient 0): (patient 0)
(patient 0): "true"
(patient 2): (patch 12 7)
(patient 2): (patient 2)
(patient 2): "true"
(patient 1): (patch -3 7)
(patient 1): (patient 1)
(patient 1): "true"
Maybe I'm just overthinking this and there are is a simpler way to assign a bed to a patient and vice versa?
There seems to be a chunk or two missing from your code above (I can't copy-paste and run it), so please have a look at the option below.
This version works by having a single place to store the 'claimed' beds- in the turtle variable. Since the turtle variables can be queried as a list using of, a bed-less turtle can check if there are any beds that are not already present in that list and, if so, claim one.
turtles-own [ owned-bed ]
to setup
ca
ask n-of 5 patches [
set pcolor green
]
crt 10 [
set owned-bed nobody
claim-unclaimed-bed
if owned-bed != nobody [
print word "I own the bed " owned-bed
]
]
reset-ticks
end
to claim-unclaimed-bed
; If I have no bed
if owned-bed = nobody [
; Pull the current owned beds for comparison
let all-owned-beds [owned-bed] of turtles
; Pull those beds that are green AND are not found in 'all-owned-beds'
let available-beds patches with [
pcolor = green and not member? self all-owned-beds
]
; If there are any beds available, claim one
ifelse any? available-beds [
set owned-bed one-of available-beds
] [
; If there are none available, print so
print "There are no available beds."
]
]
end
Edit: Forgot the actual question title- to actually move to their owned-bed (if they have one) in the example above, they simply face it and move how you like- for example:
to go
ask turtles with [ owned-bed != nobody ] [
ifelse distance owned-bed > 1 [
face owned-bed
fd 1
] [
move-to owned-bed
]
]
tick
end
Edit: added complexity
Ok, for an added element of severity, you will likely want to avoid using multiple with [ ... = x statements, and instead to use a primitive called min-one-of which returns the agent with the minimum value of some reporter. Then, you want to tell NetLogo to keep asking the next most severe and the next most severe, etc. One way to do this is with a while loop, which basically says "While this condition is met, continue evaluating the following code." Be careful with while loops- if you forget to write your code such that eventually the condition is no longer true, the while loop will just continue running until you will eventually Tools > Halt your model (or, as has happened to me with a large model, NetLogo crashes).
I've reworked the code (much of what was above is unchanged) to include such a while loop. Note as well that, since the model needs to check which beds are available multiple times, I've made that code into a to-report chunk to condense / simplify.
turtles-own [ owned-bed severity ]

ca
ask n-of 5 patches [
set pcolor green
]
crt 10 [
set owned-bed nobody

let current-available-beds report-available-beds
while [any? current-available-beds] [
; From the turtles with no bed, ask the one with the lowest severity number to

ask min-one-of ( turtles with [owned-bed = nobody] ) [ severity ] [
claim-unclaimed-bed
if owned-bed != nobody [
show ( word "I have a severity of " severity " so I am claiming the bed " owned-bed )
]
]
set current-available-beds report-available-beds
]
reset-ticks
end

I thought about using a broken or crash switch, and a slider with how many maximum home deliveries per car.
in my go procedure I put:
ask carr with [failure?] [
if ticks = 25 [ask one-of carr [set crash? TRUE]
set target spawn-target
Assuming the maximum deliveries per car are 3 and as one or more houses will not be visited because of the car that stopped, I put a reschedule button:
to reschedule
ask one-of spare with [not route-complete?] ; How do I make the reservation
car take the route of the car that stopped?
[
set target [car route that stopped]
]
set target spawn-target
end
I need some help in my reschedule bottom. if a car stops, and does not finish the route, the reserve car should take over the houses that are missing to visit
Thanks in advance for your understanding, and if you can help, I was grateful.
If I understand what you are asking, you have a car that has crashed and want to pass on the content of one of its variables to the spare car. The car that is crashed has the variable crash? set to TRUE, but I can't see from your code how you define a car to be the spare car. But it's probably something like this.
ask cars
[ <doing whatever they do>
if <conditions for crash>
[ set crash? TRUE
ask one-of cars with [spare?]
[ set spare? FALSE
set target [target] of myself
]
stop

Subtract. SET variableX-variableY only once

I'm trying to set a resource variable. It will be time and will function like sugar in sugarscape. Its setup is: ask agentes [set time random-in-range 1 6].
The thing is... I want the agentesto participate in activities linking like we said here. But, with each participation, it should subtract a unity of agentes's time. I imagine it must be with foreachbut I seem to be unable to grasp how this works.
ask n-of n-to-link agentes with [n-t-activity = [n-t-activity] of myself] in-radius sight-radius [
while [time >= 2] [
create-participation-with myself [ set color [color] of myself ] ]
foreach (command I don't know)[
set time time - count participations]]
Essentially, I want the agentes to look if they have time to participate. If they do, they create the link and subtract 1 to their time. Only ONE per participation. If they have 3 time, they'll have 2 participations and 1 time. If they have 1 time, they won't have links at all.
EDIT
You're right. I don't need while. About foreach, every place I looked said the same thing but I can't think of other way. About colors, they're only for show purpose.
The relationship between time and participation counts is as follows: the agentes have time they can spend in activities. They participate if time>=2. But every participation (link with activity) consumes 1 time when the link is active (I didn't write the decay code yet; they'll regain their time when it is off).
EDIT V2
Nothing, it keeps subtracting even with the []. Maybe the best choice is if I give you the code so you can try it. You'll have to set 5 sliders: prob-female (53%), initial-people (around 200), num-activity (around 20), n-capacity (around 25) and sight-radius (around 7). And two buttons, setup and go. I also set a patch size of 10 with 30 max-pxcor and max-pycor. Here is the code. Sorry if I'm not clear enough!

EDIT V3
I asked Bill Rand to help me and he solved the problem. The issue was in this line: let candidates agentes with [ n-t-activity = [n-t-activity] of myself ] in-radius sight-radius. He solved the problem this way: let candidates agentes with [ n-t-activity = [n-t-activity] of myself and not participation-neighbor? myself ] in-radius sight-radius. Being this and not participation-neighbor? myself the condition to make sure that the agente is not already a part of that activity.
You almost never need foreach in NetLogo. If you find yourself thinking you need foreach, your immediate reaction should be that you need ask. In particular, if you are iterating through a group of agents, this is what ask does and you should only be using foreach when you need to iterate through a list (and that list should be something other than agents). Looking at your code, you probably don't want the while loop either.
UPDATED FOR COMMENTS and code - you definitely do not need while or foreach.
Your problem is the following code. You ask agentes that satisfy your conditions to create the links, but then you ask ALL AGENTES to change their time (line I have marked), not just the agentes that are creating participation links.
ask n-of n-to-link agentes with [
n-t-activity = [n-t-activity] of myself] in-radius sight-radius [
if time >= 2 [
create-participation-with myself [
set color [color] of myself ]
ask agentes [set time time - count my-participations] ] ; THIS LINE
]
The following code fixes this problem. I have also done something else to simplify reading and also make the code more efficient - I created an agentset (called candidates) of the agentes that satisfy the conditions. In this code, the candidates set is only created once (for each activity) instead of twice (for each activity) because you are creating it to count it and then creating it again to use for participation link generation.
to participate
ask activities
[ if count my-links < n-capacity
[ let candidates agentes with [
n-t-activity = [n-t-activity] of myself ] in-radius sight-radius
let n-to-link min (list (n-capacity - count my-links) (count candidates ) )
ask n-of n-to-link candidates
[ if time >= 2
[ create-participation-with myself [ set color [color] of myself ]
set time time - count my-participations ] ; REPLACED WITH THIS LINE
]
ask activities [
if not any? agentes in-radius sight-radius [
ask participations [die]
]
]

Preferential attachment: Selecting a node to attach

I've been struggling with this one for the last 24 hours or so I feel like I'm missing something relatively simple here.
to setup-scale-free-network
clear-all
;; Make a circle of turtles
set num-nodes (num-children + num-adults + num-toddlers)
create-children num-children
create-adults num-adults
create-toddlers num-toddlers
layout-circle turtles (max-pxcor - 8)
ask turtles[
create-links-with turtles with [self > myself and random-float 5 < probability]
]
setup
end
to-report find-partner
report [one-of both-ends] of one-of links
end
The above code creates a set number of turtles of various breeds and creates a number of links between these breeds.
to go
reset-ticks
make-link find-partner
tick
end
The two procedures would be called until the needed level of degree distribution as been met.
What I want to do is use the find-partner procedure to move towards preferential attachment to do this I need to modify this code to create a link from the node find partner has selected to one of each of the other three types of breeds in my network.
to make-node [old-node]
crt 1
[
set color red
if old-node != nobody
[ create-link-with old-node [ set color green ]
;; position the new node near its partner
move-to old-node
fd 8
]
]
end
My own attempts have lead no where to be honest. I know I'm asking for a lot of help but I'm at my wits end here, thank you for your help and patience.
I was unable to completely understand your question. I am guessing that you wish to create another type of link which you call preferential attachment (with green color) between turtles who are already a part of the network.
One thing you might want in this situation is that you do not pick turtles which are already in a preferential attachment network. [this is just my assumption]
I have modified your code (as follows) to get the desired network with preferential attachment shown with green colored links, have added a turtle-variable already-attached which is used to exclude turtles which are already preferentially attached to others.
Hope this helps!
