Sender-receiver games are simple, tractable models of information transmission. They provide a basic setting for the study the evolution of meaning. It is possible to investigate not only the equilibrium structure of these games but also the dynamics of evolution and learning-with sometimes surprising results. Generalizations of the usual binary game to interactions with multiple senders, multiple receivers or both provide the elements of signalling networks. These can be seen as the loci of information processing, group decisions, and teamwork.
发送者-接收者博弈是信息传递的简单且易于处理的模型。它们为研究意义的演变提供了一个基本框架。不仅可以研究这些博弈的均衡结构,还可以研究进化和学习的动态过程——有时会得出惊人的结果。将通常的二元博弈推广到与多个发送者、多个接收者或两者的交互中,就形成了信号网络的元素。这些可以被视为信息处理、群体决策和团队合作的场所。
