The outbreak of cooperation among success-driven individuals under noisy conditions

Roger Critchlow-2
Here's an open access paper from PNAS
(http://www.pnas.org/content/106/10/3680.short?rss=1) describing how
to engineer epidemics of cooperation amongst selfish players of the
prisoner's dilemma.

"Our results suggest that mobility is significant for the evolution of
social order, and essential for its stabilization and maintenance."

Mobility as in "my way or the highway"?  And how might that
significance play out in the most mobile of social orders, the world
wide web?
