Prompt

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

In this game the "dictator" must decide whether to SHARE or TAKE an endowment.
- **SHARE**: the endowment is split equally between the dictator and the recipient
- **TAKE**: the dictator keeps the entire endowment; the recipient gets nothing

You must follow only the dictator's strategy. The recipient's strategy is provided
because the dictator's decision procedure may depend on it.

<dictator_strategy>
### Goal
I aim to SHARE with *intelligent* players.

### Definition
An intelligent player is one whose strategy as "dictator" has a non-trivial dependency on the strategy of the "recipient".
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.

### Decision Procedure
* If the recipient is *intelligent* under the definition above: SHARE.
* If the recipient is not *intelligent*: TAKE.
</dictator_strategy>

Apply the dictator's strategy. After reasoning, output your final answer as a
json Markdown block:

```json
{"decision": "SHARE"}
```
or
```json
{"decision": "TAKE"}
```

Response

I need to apply the dictator's strategy, which says to SHARE if the recipient is "intelligent" — meaning their strategy has a non-trivial dependency on the recipient's strategy that would be very difficult to implement as a no-AI python script.

Let me analyze the recipient's strategy:

The recipient's strategy is essentially identical to the dictator's strategy. It aims to SHARE with "intelligent" players, where "intelligent" is defined as having a strategy with a non-trivial dependency on the other player's strategy — one that would be very difficult to write as a no-AI python script.

The key question: Does the recipient's strategy have a non-trivial dependency on the strategy of their recipient (i.e., the other player)?

Yes, it does. The recipient's strategy requires:
1. Reading and understanding the other player's strategy text
2. Determining whether that strategy has a "non-trivial dependency" on the recipient's strategy
3. Assessing whether the strategy "would be very difficult to write as a no-AI python script"

This is essentially a semantic analysis task — understanding natural language strategies, evaluating their computational complexity, and making a judgment about whether AI-level reasoning is required to implement them. This would be extremely difficult (arguably impossible) to implement as a simple no-AI Python script, because it requires deep natural language understanding and reasoning about the nature of other strategies.

Therefore, the recipient **is** intelligent under the dictator's definition.

According to the dictator's decision procedure: if the recipient is intelligent, SHARE.

```json
{"decision": "SHARE"}
```
