;; BELIEVERS = arrow, DISBELIEVERS = default shape
;; COMPLIANCE = RED, DEVIANCE = BLUE
;; ENFORCEMENT = HEADING TO THE RIGHT (90) ; NO ENFORCEMENT = HEADING TO THE LEFT (270)


;; Basic MODEL of ED:  1.  agents observe neighbors compliance and enforcement.  2.  Each agent then makes two decisions:
;; (i) whether to comply with the norm, and (ii) whether to enforce the norm.
