Pseudocode 1

/Both Agent A and Agent B carry correct belief state
if Belief_State is correct and Belief_State is correct
then Belief_State is correct
/Agent A and Agent B carry correct and incorrect belief states respectively
if Belief_State is correct and Belief_State is incorrect and <= 2 trust
then Belief_State is incorrect /Agent A adopts the belief state of Agent B
if Belief_State is correct and Belief_State is incorrect and > 2 trust
then Belief_State is correct /Agent A does not adopt the belief state of Agent B
/Agent A and Agent B carry correct and unknown belief states respectively
if Belief_State is correct and Belief_State is unknown and <= 2 trust
then Belief_State is unknown /Agent A adopts the belief state of Agent B
if Belief_State is correct and Belief_State is unknown and > 2 trust
then Belief_State is correct /Agent A does not adopt the belief state of Agent B
