TL;DR:
Cha is proposed, a framework for the emergence of prosocial norms that supports continual change to a system and dynamism and incorporates prosocial decision-making based on inequity aversion theory, reflecting an intuition of guilt arising from being antisocial.

Multi-agent systems provide a basis for developing systems of autonomous entities and thus find application in a variety of domains. We consider a setting where not only the member agents are adaptive but also the multi-agent system viewed as an entity in its own right is adaptive. Specifically, the social structure of a multi-agent system can be reflected in the social norms among its members. It is well recognized that the norms that arise in society are not always beneficial to its members. We focus on prosocial norms, which help achieve positive outcomes for society and often provide guidance to agents to act in a manner that takes into account the welfare of others.
