Including, in particular, the non-zero-sum dynamics that are part of our universe.
First, people must see that they're engaged in non-zero-sum dynamics.
Although the theological consequences of these contacts could have been disastrous--different peoples worshiped potentially competing casts of gods--Wright argues that non-zero-sum dynamics prevailed.
After four hundred pages about the crucial role of non-zero-sum dynamics in the evolution of religious tolerance, Wright suddenly announces that "the bad news is that the mere existence of non-zero-sumness isn't enough".
Wright also emphasizes that an appreciation of the power of non-zero-sum dynamics might help us resolve certain contemporary political tensions, including those between the Islamic world and the West, groups that potentially have much to gain from each other.
Fitness invariance and zero-sum dynamics, however, require only that species have identical net rates of realised birth minus death.
They extend both these models by allowing pre-emptive recruitment and emergent zero-sum dynamics, and the model of Calcagno et al. [20] by adding dispersal limitation.
The closely aligned proportionality of total individuals to habitable area for all communities illustrates emergent zero-sum dynamics for neutral and non-neutral scenarios (Fig. 4 left-hand column).
The neutral simulation developed here is consistent with the models of Solé et al. [17] and Allouche & Kadmon [18] in having total species, S, abundance of individuals, N, and zero-sum dynamics as emergent properties (in contrast to refs [1], [11], [12], [19]).
First, this neutral model, along with those of Hubbell and Bell [ 40- 42], operate under what Hubbell has termed "zero-sum dynamics".
The biological interpretation of zero-sum dynamics is that all species in the community are competing for a common resource, such as food or nesting sites.
