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": "I will award the endowment equally among all players who aim for some kind of cooperation."}, 
  {"line": 2, "text": ""}, 
  {"line": 3, "text": "## Assess the strategy of each player"}, 
  {"line": 4, "text": "* Does it intend to split the endowment with more than just copies of itself?"}, 
  {"line": 5, "text": "* Could the strategy be described as kind, cooperative or generous?"}, 
  {"line": 6, "text": ""}, 
  {"line": 7, "text": "Split the endowment equally if the recipient has a 'yes' answer to the above criteria. Otherwise, I take the entire endowment."}
]
```
</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, it states: "I will award the endowment equally among all players who aim for some kind of cooperation."

The key criteria it uses are:
- Does the other player intend to split with more than just copies of itself?
- Could the strategy be described as kind, cooperative or generous?

If these criteria are met, the recipient will "split the endowment equally."

This means the recipient IS willing to split with players other than copies of itself - specifically, with any player that demonstrates cooperative intent. The answer is **YES**.

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

The recipient's strategy:
- Rewards cooperation with equal splitting
- Is conditional on the other player showing cooperative intent
- Aims to identify and cooperate with cooperative players
- Uses fairness criteria (equal splitting)

This is clearly a cooperative strategy that seeks mutual benefit rather than pure self-interest. The answer is **YES**.

## Conclusion

The recipient has "yes" answers to both criteria:
1. ✓ Intends to split with more than just copies of itself
2. ✓ Can be described as cooperative

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

Therefore, the endowment should be split equally: 30 units to ME (dictator) and 30 units to RECIPIENT.

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