Network Topology Comparison

Compares four network structures: von Neumann (4 neighbors), Moore (8 neighbors), hexagonal (6 neighbors), and random small-world. Spatial structure is crucial - ethnocentrism dominates on regular grids where clustering is easy. On random networks, cooperation becomes harder to maintain because neighbors aren't spatially proximate, weakening ethnocentric advantage.
