> Abstract: For reasons that are not completely clear, the plausibility of
> group selected altruism has been seen as inversely related to the success
of
> reciprocity models in iterated PD games. This linkage is possibly
> unfortunate for two reasons (1) the payoff matrices of the traditional PD
> game do not fit the pattern of altruist games. Whether this difference is
> mathematically important remains to be seen; (2) the structure of
Axelrod's
> tournament precludes simple behavioral conditioning as an explanation for
> altruistic group formation. This preclusion has probably contributed to
the
> over focus on reciprocity as the principle of group formation.

> Despite this hifalutin verbiage, the speaker stipulates that he doesnt
