In this paper, we analyze a social imitation model that incorporates internal energy caches (e.g., food/money savings), cost of living, death, and reproduction into the Ultimatum Game. We show that when imitation (and death) occurs, a natural correlation between selfishness and cost of living emerges. However, in all societies that do not collapse, non-Nash sharing strategies emerge as the de facto result of imitation. We explain these results by constructing a mean-field approximation of the internal energy cache informed by time-varying distributions extracted from experimental data.
