We are at one of those saddlepoints where suddenly the payoffs of different evolutionary strategies diverges widely (but no one knows which way)
ah okay, i think i see now where you’re coming from. you’re not talking about the ESS, you’re talking about something like sepsis or the caterpillar game

i think i may have written about this i’ll look for link later (this was where cyb-n and i first discussed this) but there are lots of other interesting possibilities

for example monogamy could be an ESS in the strict sense but collapse when non-monogamy gets above fraction epsilon (b/c it requires some degree of homogeneity) or it could require in-group dynamics to keep monogamy stable within N mostly-endogamous populations
