Platonic Synergy: A Circular Reading of the Sophist and Timaeus

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2003
We test the population rule learning model for symmetric normal-form games, and strongly reject: (i) no rule learning, (ii) no diversity, and (iii) no sophisticated evidence. Further, trembles and herd behavior decline and level-2 behavior increases over time.
