Genetic Drift Upends Coordination Games, Reshaping Societal Outcomes
The article explores how players in a game can adapt their strategies over time. The researchers found that different equilibria can be reached depending on the number of players and repetitions of the game. Through genetic drift, strategies can change and lead to different outcomes. Regardless of the number of players, any equilibrium can be reached, but the time spent in high-payoff equilibria decreases with more players.
