Document Summary
Need to consider w = probability of playing again (or living unil reproducing) Cooperaion established through natural selecion is biological: loops between neocorical areas modulaion emoion-representaions that help dictate relaionships. Even though reward for cheaing is greater than cooperaive award, cooperaive award is greater than the average of the reward and punishment of the cheater and cheated. Prey needed are large and diicult to get. T s if ce > 0. 5, then cooperaive-encouraging environment exists w . T p as r (cooperaive reward) gets closer to t (temptaion of cheaing), w does not need to be as large. Synergisic beneits are slight beter when computed for the human niche. The midbrain sends and reinforces reward signals to midline areas (striatum) to the neocortex, speciically the ventral and dorsa striatum. Caudate nucleus neurons acivated when receive unexpected generous reward: allows emoional engagement with individual to modulate social relaionships.
