Help required with example of real-life matrix If, for example, I was in an ongoing dispute with a troublesome, anti-social neighbour, where it is best if we both cooperate: would this be a valid matrix? - I assign points as follows. I cooperate: +1 for him I defect: -1 for him He cooperates: +1 for me He defects: -1 for me number pairs in this form: me/him He cooperates He defects I cooperate +1/+1 -1/+1 I defect +1/-1 -1/-1 which would make, if we wish: TOTALS He cooperates He defects I cooperate 2 0 I defect 0 -2 What do you think? I would value a mathematician's opinion. Thank you, Simon Perry. Reply

I assign points as follows.
I cooperate: +1 for him
I defect: -1 for him
He cooperates: +1 for me
He defects: -1 for me
number pairs in this form: me/him
He cooperates He defects
I cooperate +1/+1 -1/+1
I defect +1/-1 -1/-1
which would make, if we wish:
TOTALS
He cooperates He defects
I cooperate 2 0
I defect 0 -2
What do you think? I would value a mathematician's opinion.
Thank you,
