Strategic Mechanisms & Bounded Rationality

Primes about strategic interaction under cognitive limits: mechanism design and incentive compatibility, auction theory, signaling and screening, gains from trade, herding behavior, heuristics and bounded rationality, the Delphi method, weak-signal detection.

13 primes in this family — primes that sit near one another in abstraction space (k-means over structural-signature embeddings). Each is shown with its structural–framed character and how distinctive (sparsely-neighbored) it is.
