Primes¶
- Strategic Complementarity
- The origin is supermodular game theory (Topkis, Bulow–Geanakoplos–Klemperer, Cooper–John), and the documented reuse spans biology (quorum sensing), sociology (collective action), and distributed systems.
This sourceOriginates the supermodular-games machinery — positive cross-partials yielding monotone (upward-sloping) best responses — that formalizes strategic complementarity.
Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract
The work's own abstract establishes equilibrium existence and monotone best responses in (sub)modular games, but says nothing about the biology, sociology, or distributed-systems reuse.
“An optimal decision for each player is an isotope function of the decisions of other players.”

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
