Mathematical Model
Prey: dx/dt = αx(1-x/K) - βxy
Predator: dy/dt = δxy - γy
More Model Details & Limits
α:Prey growth, K:Capacity, β:Predation, δ:Efficiency, γ:Predator loss. Agents have age limits & energy.
Dynamics:
Equilibria: (0,0), (K,0), or (x*, y*) Coexistence possible if γ/δ < K.
Simulation Notes:
Uses discrete steps & agent randomness; approximates continuous ODEs.
