The Alternation Patterns of the Majority of Norms

Caption

Norm dominance gradually transitions from the strict norm (red) to liberal norms. The SH in the figure represents the strict norm that "only cooperation with a good person is good and all other cases are bad". SJ represents the norm that "noncooperation with a good person is bad and cooperation with a bad person is bad". IS represents the behavior-only norm that "cooperative behavior is always good and non-cooperative behavior is always bad". ST represents the tolerant norm that "noncooperation with a good person is good and cooperation with a bad person is good". Those norms all have the rule "cooperation with a good person is good and noncooperation with a good person is bad" in common.
