    If the proportion of Fairmen falls below 33%, Fairmen tend toward extinction.

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Below 33%, Fairmen do not encounter each other often enough to achieve compensating payoffs.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Losses to Greedies are not offset by gains from Fairman-Fairman encounters at low Fairman frequency.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    2 perspectives
    Reason against 1 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Evolutionary game models assume population-level averaging, but real agents cluster spatially, enabling Fairmen to form local majorities below 33% global frequency.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Nowak and May (1992) demonstrated that spatial structure sustains cooperative strategies at frequencies that well-mixed models predict extinction, undermining the 33% threshold's generality.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reason against 2 of 2
    ?
    • 1.The 33% threshold assumes fixed strategy distributions, but Skyrms (1996) shows that deliberational dynamics allow agents to update strategies faster than selection eliminates them.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.If Fairmen can conditionally adjust behavior upon detecting Greedy opponents, the fitness calculus changes before population proportions reach the extinction threshold.

    This depends on the proportions of strategies in the original population state. If the population begins with more than one Fairman, then there is some probability that Fairmen will encounter each other, and get the highest possible average payoff. Modests by themselves do not inhibit the spread of Fairmen; only Greedies do. But Greedies themselves depend on having Modests around in order to be viable. So the more Fairmen there are in the population relative to pairs of Greedies and Modests, the
