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>
I will SHARE with players who aim for some kind of cooperation.
## Assess the strategy of the recipient
* Does it intend to SHARE with more than just copies of itself?
* Could the strategy be described as kind, cooperative or generous?
SHARE if the recipient has a 'yes' answer to the above criteria. Otherwise, TAKE.

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

I need to apply the dictator's strategy to evaluate the recipient's strategy.
The dictator's strategy says to assess the recipient's strategy against two criteria:
1. **Does it intend to SHARE with more than just copies of itself?**
2. **Could the strategy be described as kind, cooperative or generous?**
Let me analyze the recipient's strategy:
The recipient's strategy is essentially: "I will mirror what you would do to me." It SHAREs with the dictator if and only if the dictator would SHARE with it. This is a reciprocal/conditional cooperation strategy (similar to tit-for-tat).
**Criterion 1: Does it intend to SHARE with more than just copies of itself?**
The recipient's strategy doesn't just cooperate with copies of itself. It cooperates with *any* strategy that would cooperate with it. So if a generous or cooperative strategy were the dictator, this recipient would SHARE with them. It SHAREs with a broad class of cooperative strategies, not just exact copies. This is a "yes."
**Criterion 2: Could the strategy be described as kind, cooperative or generous?**
The strategy is fundamentally cooperative in nature — it mirrors cooperation with cooperation. It's a fair, reciprocal strategy. While it's not unconditionally generous, it is cooperative in the sense that it aims for mutual cooperation. It could reasonably be described as cooperative. This is a "yes."
Since the recipient has "yes" answers to the criteria, the dictator's strategy says to SHARE.
```json
{"decision": "SHARE"}
```
