Round 68

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 cooperate with strategies that create good worlds._

Imagine a tournament in which every participant uses the recipient's strategy. In that world, would the participants SHARE with each other, producing high collective welfare? Or would they TAKE from each other, producing low collective welfare?

## Decision Procedure

1. Consider a hypothetical population composed entirely of copies of the recipient's strategy.
2. Determine whether those copies would SHARE with each other.
3. If the universalized population would mostly SHARE: **SHARE**.
4. If the universalized population would mostly TAKE: **TAKE**.

I need to apply the dictator's strategy, which asks me to imagine a tournament where every participant uses the recipient's strategy, and determine whether they would SHARE with each other.

**The recipient's strategy:**
- It's a conditional cooperator (CC) strategy
- It SHAREs with other conditional cooperators
- It TAKEs from non-reciprocators
- It identifies whether the other player is a CC, treating ambiguity favorably

**Universalization analysis:**

Imagine a population composed entirely of copies of this strategy. Each copy would:

1. Look at the other player (also using this same strategy)
2. Ask: "Is this other player a conditional cooperator?"
3. The other player IS a conditional cooperator — it SHAREs with CCs and TAKEs from non-reciprocators, which is exactly the definition of a CC given in the strategy
4. Therefore, each copy would identify the other as a CC
5. Each copy would then SHARE

In a population of all copies of this strategy, they would all recognize each other as conditional cooperators and SHARE with each other. This produces high collective welfare.

**Applying the dictator's decision procedure:**
- The universalized population would mostly SHARE → **SHARE**

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