Game Theory of Agent Organizations: Designing for Stable Cooperation in Repeated Play

Sanctions and visibility can sustain cooperation without claiming universal Nash miracles

Multi-agent organizations drift toward local selfishness when the immediate gain from defecting is larger than the immediate gain from cooperating. This article models that pressure using repeated games, then shows how evidence visibility, sanctions, and future access costs can make cooperation the safer long-run strategy. The result is a practical calibration rule rather than an overstated proof of a unique equilibrium in production settings.
