New theory merges game theory with self-reproducing automata

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new paper titled "The Theory of Strategic Evolution: Games with Endogenous Players and Strategic Replicators" synthesizes game theory and the theory of self-reproducing automata. It introduces "Games with Endogenous Players" (GEPs) where lineages are the primary strategic units, and defines "Evolutionarily Stable Distributions of Intelligence" (ESDIs) as the equilibrium concept. The paper posits that unrestricted self-modification leads to instability, necessitating bounded modification classes for stable alignment in systems like AI deployment dynamics. AI

IMPACT Introduces a theoretical framework for understanding AI deployment dynamics and stable multi-agent systems.

    The Theory of Strategic Evolution: Games with Endogenous Players and Strategic Replicators

    arXiv:2512.07901v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Von Neumann founded both game theory and the theory of self-reproducing automata, but the two programs never merged. This paper provides the synthesis. The Theory of Strategic Evolution analyzes strategic replicators: enti…
