Tit for Tat

Tit for Tat is a strategy often used in game theory, particularly in situations involving cooperation and competition, like the prisoner's dilemma. It involves responding to an opponent's actions with equivalent actions. If they cooperate, you cooperate back; if they betray you, you betray them in return. This approach encourages mutual cooperation while discouraging betrayal, fostering stable and positive interactions over time. It is simple, effective, and relies on clarity and reciprocity, making it a powerful principle in negotiations, relationships, and conflict resolution.
