Reini, I love you but I have no idea what any of this means except for the
suggestion to use Wikipedia.
I think what David's after vis a vis open source community and the prisoner's
dilemma is why people in a community may or may not cooperate even if its in
their best interest to do so.

This pretty easy to parse.
Lookup wikipedia for it as it's the most fundamental economic and political
playground for right vs left-wingers, and mathematicians in between.
The original old tit-for-tat theory by Rapaport / Axelrod pleased the
neo-liberal right-wingers, while new studies and improved game setups promise
relief in the importance of positive social interaction and "altruism".
