fundamentally, I seek to understand how humans, which are simple animals, navigate a staggeringly complex world

for example, I usually buy a latte in the morning and swipe my debit card. this transaction almost splits my mind into two
Prikaži ovu nit -
when i swipe my card, the register sends this information to servers all around the world
Prikaži ovu nit -
the system is seeking to answer the question of whether or not I have enough money in my bank account to pay for my latte
Prikaži ovu nit -
this transaction encapsulates everything that I am curious about

then how did we get to the point where I can swipe a piece of plastic at a cafe and a latte be produced?

currently, my answer is that a network of agents are connected via trust & name
Prikaži ovu nit -
if we break down that abstraction further, we find that agents are competing for scarce resources in the world

-
agents learn that coordination yields dividends greater than going it alone
Prikaži ovu nit -
ah! so now we have approached another interesting question:
Prikaži ovu nit -
-
well, agents must align their self-interest to fulfill their desires

-
names refer to a configuration of atoms in a sliver of spacetime
Prikaži ovu nit -
-
-
when agents agree on names, they can coordinate their actions to acquire the scarce resources
Prikaži ovu nit -
in order to ensure their survival, agents must predict the future
Prikaži ovu nit -
-
-
each agent has a namespace - a set of names that an agent understands
Prikaži ovu nit -
-
agents could coordinate their actions but still have the other agent steal the fruits of their labor
Prikaži ovu nit -
ah! the agents must be condemned to lose the prisoner's dilemma for eternity
Prikaži ovu nit -
but not all hope is lost - the fact is that in most networks, agents play iterated games
