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.

Well-mixed models(contrasted with spatial structure models)
Mathematical models that assume everyone in a population has an equal chance of interacting with everyone else, like thoroughly shuffling cards in a deck.
extinction(in biology and conservation)
The permanent disappearance of a species from Earth, meaning no members of that species exist anywhere anymore.
generality(The statement suggests the claim doesn't work as broadly as it seems to.)
The quality of applying broadly or widely to many cases; when something is general, it works across different situations rather than just one specific case.
