EgThe Selfish Gene is a theoretical approach in evolutionary biology that posits the gene, rather than the individual or the species, as the fundamental unit of natural selection, arguing that adaptation occurs at the genetic level. First popularized by Richard Dawkins in 1976, this concept asserts that organisms are programmed "survival machines" or vehicles designed to preserve and propagate their genes, with genes themselves being the ultimate beneficiaries and enduring units of evolutionary pr

NaNash Equilibrium is one of the fundamental concepts of game theory, defined by John Nash in 1950. It describes a situation in which, in multi-player strategic scenarios, no player can improve their payoff by unilaterally changing their current strategy, assuming the strategies of other players remain fixed. Nash Equilibrium is applied in many fields including economics, politics, biology, and artificial intelligence such as.Nash Equilibrium refers to a state in a game where no player can achieve

The Prisoner’s Dilemma is a model in game theory that demonstrates how individuals attempting to maximize their rational self-interest can end up with worse outcomes if they fail to cooperate. Game theory aims to model the behavior of actors such as individuals, groups, and states. It helps us understand how the decisions of different actors interact with one another.The Prisoner’s Dilemma is a significant example of this type of modeling and is frequently used in international relations.
