The Productive Pigeonhole Principle: An Answer to Searle’s Chinese Room

What if the simplest games to capture cooperation problems always involve 3 players?
The title image looks at a three way game involving the idea of triadic closure. This is a theory from graphs that demonstrates the idea that interesting interactions can be 3-way not simply 2-way. In standard teaching of game theory we model the simplest possible games of cooperation as games in which there are only two players. While we do talk about one player games, these types of games are those in which one player makes all decisions, and so there is no conception that

It presents the evidence and argument from cutting-edge biology that risk is managed differently in organisms in Nature, and that we must learn from Nature in order to develop new theories and lead our ma
