One way that people have implemented history (or memory) is to define a 
class that describes the actions. Then each individual records its past 
actions as a list of objects of that class. The individuals can then 
examine that list of past actions to base calculations on its history. 
The most recent action might be the first object on the list, etc., so 
the influence of past actions can be weighted by how long ago they were.
