Superagency: Beyond Individualistic Game Theory

In this talk I’m going to suggest that some fundamental problems in Game Theory can be resolved by supposing that individual players can, without any communication, coalesce and act like supraindividual agents. The modus operandi of these superagents has several features of the systems of arti...cial agents of Computer Science. I hope my proposal may help towards opening one more pathway betwee...
