Primes¶
- Cooperation
- Game theory / economics: the prisoner's dilemma and public-goods games, where mutual cooperation beats mutual defection yet defection tempts each player; the central object of study is what sustains contribution.

Domain-specific¶
- Assurance Game
- The payoff matrix is distinguished from the prisoner's dilemma by the structure of the off-diagonal cell: when player A cooperates while player B defects, A receives the worst outcome — not the sucker's payoff of the PD, but the outcome of having staked everything on a stag hunt that no one else showed up for
This sourceStudy of the prisoner's dilemma defining its payoff components, including the sucker's payoff received by a player who cooperated while the other defected.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 2 citations: 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.
