  5. Two Automata playing together, eventually follow a cycle • (handshake) • The payoff is the limit of the means. • The cost of an automaton is the number of his states. • The cost enters the payoffs lexicographically.

  8. Binmore Samuelson:

  9. x x ? y a x x x x ? y y ? b a If then:

  10. x x ? y a x x x x ? y ? y b a If then:

  11. x x ? y a Q.E.D.

  12. C D D C D C Tit For Tat (TFT) C,D C,D C D C D Cis not an ESS, it can be invaded byD. Dis not an ESS, it can be invaded byTit For Tat.

  13. Q.E.D.

  14. C D C C,D D D C D C D C Grim Tit For Tat (TFT) Q.E.D. In the P.D. Tit For Tat and Grim are not MESS (they do not use one state against themselves)

  15. For a general, possibly non symmetric game G. Define the symmetrized version of G: G # #. A player is player 1with probability 0.5 and player 2 with probability 0.5 • The previous lemmas apply to (a1,a2) • An ESS has a single state │a1│=│a2│=1 • If (a1,a2) is a MESS it uses all its states when playing against itself, i.e. a1,a2use all their states when playing against the other.

  20. C C D C C D C D D C D Tat For Tit (TAFT) D CC It can be invaded by:

  21. C C D D C D Tat For Tit (TAFT) No other (longer and more sophisticated) automaton can invade. Any exploitation of TAFT (playing D against his C) makes TAFT play D, so the average of these two periods is (3+0)/2 = 1.5 < 2, the average of cooperating.

  22. C C,D C C,D D C D D D C AC CA C C D C C C D C D D D C D C D Tat For Tit (TAFT) D C,D CC CD A population consisting of: can be invaded only by: If AC invaded, it does not do well against CD D C D C ……. C D C D …….

  24. C C,D D D C CA C C D C C C D C D D D C D C D Tat For Tit (TAFT) D C,D CC CD A population consisting of: can be invaded only by CA but if CA invaded then a sophisticated automaton S can invade and exploit CA . S starts with C. if it saw C it continues with C forever (the opponent must be CD or CC ). If it saw D, it plays D again, if the other then plays D it must be TAFT. S plays another D and then C forever. If, however, after 2x D, the other played C, then it must be CA, and S should play D forever.

  25. C C,D D D C CA C C D C C C D C D D D C D C D Tat For Tit (TAFT) D C,D CC CD A population consisting of: can be invaded only by CA When S invades, CA will vanish, and then S which is a complex automaton will die out. Evolution - 5
