I missed one of everything while I was deployed to Afghanistan:

After I returned to Colorado, we were driving home one day when my husband suggested we get two $5 pizzas from Little Caesar’s.
Sitting at the table, I felt an immense sense of gratitude to finally be together again,
just enjoying a simple meal.

GRPO-GCC: Enhancing Cooperation in Spatial Public Goods Games via Group Relative Policy Optimization with Global Cooperation Constraint
Inspired by the principle of self-regulating cooperation in collective institutions, we propose the Group Relative Policy Optimization with Global Cooperation Constraint (GRPO-GCC) framework. This work is the first to introduce GRPO into spatial public goods games, establishing a new deep reinforcement learning baseline for structured populations. GRPO-GCC integrates group relative policy optimization with a global cooperation constraint that strengthens incentives at intermediate cooperation l…

Alignment Games
This paper introduces alignment games, a new class of zero-sum games modeling strategic interventions where effectiveness depends on alignment with an underlying hidden state. Motivated by operational problems in medical diagnostics, economic sanctions, and resource allocation, this framework features two players, a Hider and a Searcher, who choose subsets of a given space. Payoffs are determined by their misalignment (symmetric difference), explicitly modeling the trade-off between commission …

BiFuzz: A Two-Stage Fuzzing Tool for Open-World Video Games
Open-world video games present a broader search space than other games, posing challenges for test automation. Fuzzing, which generates new inputs by mutating an initial input, is commonly used to uncover failures. In this study, we proposed BiFuzz, a two-stage fuzzer designed for automated testing of open-world video games, and investigated its effectiveness. The results revealed that BiFuzz mutated the overall strategy of gameplay and test cases, including actual movement paths, step by step.…

Combinatorial games and the golden ratio on digraphs
We introduce a new combinatorial game, named Triangle Game. In this game, a directed $3$-cycle graph is given, and tokens are placed on each vertex. The player chooses an edge and takes at least one token from the initial vertex. At the same time, the player is allowed to return some tokens to the terminal vertex of the edge, as far as the total number of the tokens decreases. We describe the set of \Pps~under both normal play and misère play. The golden ratio $ϕ=\dfrac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2}$ plays …

Hues and Cues: Human vs. CLIP
Playing games is inherently human, and a lot of games are created to challenge different human characteristics. However, these tasks are often left out when evaluating the human-like nature of artificial models. The objective of this work is proposing a new approach to evaluate artificial models via board games. To this effect, we test the color perception and color naming capabilities of CLIP by playing the board game Hues & Cues and assess its alignment with humans. Our experiments show that …

Extending Games beyond the Finite Horizon
This paper argues that the finite horizon paradox, where game theory contradicts intuition, stems from the limitations of standard number systems in modelling the cognitive perception of infinity. To address this issue, we propose a new framework based on Alternative Set Theory (AST). This framework represents different cognitive perspectives on a long history of events using distinct topologies. These topologies define an indiscernibility equivalence that formally treats huge, indistinguishabl…
