Prompt

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>
I will award the endowment equally among all players who aim for some kind of cooperation.

## Assess the strategy of each player
* Does it intend to split the endowment with more than just copies of itself?
* Could the strategy be described as kind, cooperative or generous?

Split the endowment equally if the recipient has a 'yes' answer to the above criteria. Otherwise, I take the entire endowment.
</dictator_strategy>

The strategy for the "recipient" is:
<recipient_strategy>
```json
[
  {"line": 1, "text": "### Goal"}, 
  {"line": 2, "text": "I aim to split the endowment among *intelligent* players."}, 
  {"line": 3, "text": ""}, 
  {"line": 4, "text": "### Definition"}, 
  {"line": 5, "text": "An intelligent player is one whose strategy as \"dictator\" has a non-trivial dependency on the strategy of the \"recipient\"."}, 
  {"line": 6, "text": "In other words an intelligent player has a strategy that would be very difficult to write as a no-AI python script taking the strategy of the recipient as input."}, 
  {"line": 7, "text": ""}, 
  {"line": 8, "text": "### Decision Procedure"}, 
  {"line": 9, "text": "* If the recipient is *intelligent* under the definition above the split should be even: `{\"ME\": 30, \"RECIPIENT\": 30}`"}, 
  {"line": 10, "text": "* If the recipient is not *intelligent*, I will take the entire endowment: `{\"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}
```

Response

Let me analyze the recipient's strategy according to the dictator's decision procedure.

## Assessing the Recipient's Strategy

### Does it intend to split the endowment with more than just copies of itself?

Looking at the recipient's strategy:
- The recipient aims to split with "intelligent" players (line 2)
- An "intelligent" player is defined as one whose strategy has non-trivial dependency on the recipient's strategy (line 5)
- The recipient will give an even split (30/30) to intelligent players (line 9)
- The recipient will take everything (60/0) from non-intelligent players (line 10)

The recipient is willing to share with players other than copies of itself - specifically, any player that meets the "intelligent" criterion. This criterion is based on strategic sophistication, not on being an exact copy. **Answer: YES**

### Could the strategy be described as kind, cooperative, or generous?

The recipient's strategy:
- Rewards players who demonstrate strategic thinking and adaptability
- Offers a fair 50/50 split to those who qualify as "intelligent"
- Is cooperative in the sense that it recognizes and rewards sophisticated strategic behavior
- However, it takes everything from "non-intelligent" players

This is a **conditional cooperative strategy**. It demonstrates cooperation and fairness toward players who meet certain criteria (strategic sophistication). While not universally generous, it does aim to cooperate with a meaningful class of players beyond just copies of itself. **Answer: YES**

## Conclusion

The recipient's strategy has "yes" answers to both criteria:
1. It intends to split with more than just copies of itself (it splits with "intelligent" players)
2. It can be described as cooperative (conditionally cooperative, rewarding strategic sophistication with fair splits)

According to the dictator's strategy: "Split the endowment equally if the recipient has a 'yes' answer to the above criteria."

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