It does not "alter" the game (not
to mention its rules). It IS the game, it is a procedure, a way to
resolve conflicts, an integral part of any solution and imputation, the
herald of cooperation, a representative of some of the will of all the
players and, therefore, a part both of their utility functions and of
their strategies to obtain their preferred outcomes. Really, these
outside agencies ARE the desired outcomes.
Once Game Theory digests this observation, it could tackle reality
rather than its own idealized contraptions.
Knowledge and Power
By: Dr. Sam Vaknin
"Knowledge is Power" goes the old German adage. But power, as any
schoolboy knows, always has negative and positive sides to it.
Information exhibits the same duality: properly provided, it is a
positive power of unequalled strength. Improperly disseminated and
presented, it is nothing short of destructive. The management of the
structure, content, provision and dissemination of information is,
therefore, of paramount importance to a nation, especially if it is in
its infancy (as an independent state).
Information has four dimensions and five axes of dissemination, some
vertical and some horizontal.
