The Bonabeau model consists of a finite number of agents, each occupying only one site on a square lattice. One agent is randomly selected and chooses a neighboring site at random. If the neighboring site is vacant, the agent moves to that site. However, if the site is occupied, a fight is triggered. If the agent wins the fight, the two agents switch sites. Otherwise, they remain in their original position. We consider a variant of the Bonabeau model where the initial number of wins for all agents is distributed between two absorbing states. We study various properties of the model, including finite-time convergence. We demonstrate that achieving an egalitarian society is impossible and argue that having more connections in the site graph does not necessarily lead to a more diverse win distribution. We also verify the circumstances under which a fragmented win distribution can be achieved.
