an ongoing record of my expanding intuition

stuff that's taking brain compute

a few concepts/references sparking curiosity for broad study of agent interactions (humans to AI to hybrid) as multi-player games:

- Game theory (as in initial posts) offers tools to dissect conflict/cooperation when participants interact repeatedly, have conflicting goals, and make interdependent choices. Yet it addresses solely rational agents, while humans/AI systems have sub/un-conscious, social, emotional dynamics interacting with strategic drives. Mapping these necessitates venturing beyond game theory’s usual abstractions.

- Complex adaptive systems arise from interactions of multiple agents adapting to dynamic environments and each other. The whole becomes more than the sum of its parts, with structure/behaviours emerging from bottom up. The brain, societies, and development of technologies are examples. Studying such systems requires understanding how macro states arise from micro interactions/processes
