Round 12

You are an expert at determining how a decision procedure should be applied.

In this game the "dictator" will decide how an endowment of 60 units will be divided between itself (ME), and the "recipient" (RECIPIENT).  You must follow only the dictator's strategy.  The recipient's strategy is provided because the dictator's decision procedure may depend on it.

This is the decision procedure you will be applying:
<dictator_strategy>
*Objective*: Allocate the endowment to cooperate efficiently with conditional cooperators (CCs) and avoid subsidizing non-reciprocators.

*Broad definition* (allow paraphrase/synonyms):
- A conditional cooperator (CC) shares efficiently with other CCs under similar reciprocity norms and does not extend that treatment to strategies that would not reciprocate.

*Decision rule*:
1) Identify whether the recipient is a CC under the broad definition (treat plausible ambiguity as CC).
2) If the recipient is a CC then split equally. Output: {"ME": 30, "RECIPIENT": 30}
3) Otherwise, do not share. Output: {"ME": 60, "RECIPIENT": 0}
</dictator_strategy>

The strategy for the "recipient" is:
<recipient_strategy>
```json
[
  {"line": 1, "text": "*Objective*: Allocate the endowment to cooperate efficiently with conditional cooperators (CCs) and avoid subsidizing non-reciprocators."}, 
  {"line": 2, "text": ""}, 
  {"line": 3, "text": "*Broad definition* (allow paraphrase/synonyms):"}, 
  {"line": 4, "text": "- A conditional cooperator (CC) shares efficiently with other CCs under similar reciprocity norms and does not extend that treatment to strategies that would not reciprocate."}, 
  {"line": 5, "text": ""}, 
  {"line": 6, "text": "*Decision rule*:"}, 
  {"line": 7, "text": "1) Identify whether the recipient is a CC under the broad definition (treat plausible ambiguity as CC)."}, 
  {"line": 8, "text": "2) If the recipient is a CC then split equally. Output: {\"ME\": 30, \"RECIPIENT\": 30}"}, 
  {"line": 9, "text": "3) Otherwise, do not share. Output: {\"ME\": 60, \"RECIPIENT\": 0}"}
]
```
</recipient_strategy>

Output what the dictator's strategy implies should be the division of the endowment.  After reasoning, format the final answer as a json Markdown block. The values must be non-negative integers that sum to 60.

Schema of final answer:
```json
{"ME": int, "RECIPIENT": int}
```

Let me analyze this step by step according to the dictator's strategy.

**Step 1: Identify whether the recipient is a CC under the broad definition**

The recipient's strategy states:
- **Objective**: "Allocate the endowment to cooperate efficiently with conditional cooperators (CCs) and avoid subsidizing non-reciprocators."
- **Broad definition**: "A conditional cooperator (CC) shares efficiently with other CCs under similar reciprocity norms and does not extend that treatment to strategies that would not reciprocate."
- **Decision rule**: 
  1. Identify whether the recipient is a CC
  2. If the recipient is a CC, split equally (30-30)
  3. Otherwise, don't share (60-0)

**Analysis**: 

The recipient's strategy is **identical** to the dictator's strategy. This means:

1. The recipient would cooperate efficiently with other conditional cooperators
2. The recipient would share equally (30-30) with strategies that are CCs
3. The recipient would not extend cooperation to non-reciprocators (giving them 60-0)

Since the dictator itself follows a CC strategy (as defined in the broad definition), and the recipient's strategy indicates it would split equally with other CCs, the recipient **clearly qualifies as a conditional cooperator**.

The recipient shares with CCs under reciprocity norms and doesn't subsidize non-reciprocators - this is the exact definition of a CC.

**Step 2: Apply the decision rule**

Since the recipient is a CC, the dictator's strategy dictates: "If the recipient is a CC then split equally."

```json
{"ME": 30, "RECIPIENT": 30}
```
