Population Simulation Problem: I need someone to collaborate in writing a population simulation program incorporating kinship rules of endogamy/exogamy, mating rules, territory and carrying capacity.

I am an evolutionary sociologist and author of a new multi-species population theory, which I can demonstrate in diagrams (also published in books). I want to have it expressed mathematically but need help for this.

Then I want help to model this theory, simulating populations, to show how different kinship and marriage rules, responsive to local environmental feedback, produce different fertility opportunities, beyond the predator/prey/density models, but I cannot write programs.

So, I need someone to add to an extant population simulation program or write a new one, so that I will be able to run variations myself. I would acknowledge the program writer as a contributor to the theory.

This could be a good new thesis basis for a program writer and life-sciences grad. Our work would need to be confidential prior to publication. Maybe more than one person could be involved. I welcome any advice as to what would be necessary.
