| Zusammenfassung: | Annotation Geometry, Language and Strategy is a way of looking at game theory or strategic decision-making from a scientific perspective, using standard equations from the fields of engineering and physics. To better approximate reality, it extends game theory beyond the two-player set piece. The book begins where former game theory literature ends? with multi-person games on a world stage. It encompasses many of the variables encountered in strategic planning, using mathematics borrowed from physics and engineering, rather than the economic models which have not proven to be good in predicting reality. |

Print version record. Annotation Geometry, Language and Strategy is a way of looking at game theory or strategic decision-making from a scientific perspective, using standard equations from the fields of engineering and physics. To better approximate reality, it extends game theory beyond the two-player set piece. The book begins where former game theory literature ends? with multi-person games on a world stage. It encompasses many of the variables encountered in strategic planning, using mathematics borrowed from physics and engineering, rather than the economic models which have not proven to be good in predicting reality. 1. Introduction. 1.1. Geometry of economic games. 1.2. Market fluid. 1.3. Thermodynamics of games. 1.4. Rules of the game. 1.5. Economic justification. 1.6. Dynamic games. 1.7. Nature of time. 1.8. Outline -- 2. Rules-of-the-game. 2.1. Games are covariant. 2.2. General attributes of the game matrix. 2.3. Geodesics. 2.4. Games are locally flat. 2.5. Dynamic game theory hypothesis -- 3. Flow of strategic-mass. 3.1. Local versus global. 3.2. The connection. 3.3. Curvature. 3.4. Geometry specified by sources -- 4. Game symmetries. 4.1. Earth's symmetries. 4.2.
