Game Patterns

This section covers fundamental game-theoretic patterns used in distributed computing systems. These patterns provide reusable frameworks for modeling different types of strategic interactions and decision-making scenarios.

Pattern Categories

Reactive Decision Patterns

Models for trigger-based decision making where agents respond to environmental events:

• Reactive Decision Pattern - Core pattern for trigger-context-action mappings
• Reactive Decision Table - Master trigger analysis table showing compositional structure

Strategic Interaction Patterns

Models for multi-agent strategic games and negotiations:

• Strategic Interaction Pattern - Corecursive bilateral negotiations
• Bilateral Negotiation Game - Core negotiation structure
• Bilateral Negotiation Actions - Action spaces and outcomes

Multi-Party Agreement Patterns

Models for coordinating consensus among multiple participants:

• Multi-Party Agreement Pattern - Framework for distributed consensus formation
• Agreement Pattern - Core multi-party coordination structure
• Agreement Decisions - Decision logic and learning dynamics
