1st draft of my game theory textbook is up: vknight.org/gtb/ With illustrations from @nonzerosumjames.bsky.social 3 goals: a course text, a resource for using software, and a route into key papers. Free online, PDF too. #gametheory

My wife and I do not agree about whether or not a Toblerone is a chocolate bar. Harry Foster agrees with her. We spent 90 minutes of a research meeting yesterday on this. We then asked Claude to write a paper about it for us: vknight.org/assets/static/202... The footnotes are probably the best part

Harry (my PhD student) has spent a week doing some really cool, clever and hard work. He's showing me his results and I make a [minor] suggestion for improvement of choice of notation. Supervising is hard work. #gametheory #phd #mathematics

A conversation between me and Harry where I suggest some change of notation. He responds positively and I say that I’m doing all the heavy work (with a gif of a rodent on a turtle). He responds “I don’t even know what my role is here man”.

**New preprint**: "An Exact Cooperation Formula for Introspection Dynamics in the Heterogeneous Public Goods Game" In this preprint we obtain a nice formula for the steady state probabilities in Introspection Dynamics for a specific subset of games. arxiv.org/abs/2605.23513 #gametheory

Scholia: Category based marking in Python. Prof. Karl Schmidt gave a great talk about his approach to marking and feedback last week. I've implemented his approach in a Python library: vknight.org/scholia/ #marking #python
