Abstract

A new game system formalism is presented. The system describes both strategies and a game master (who computes scores in a given game system) in terms of the λ-calculus. A prisoners’ dilemma game is revisited with this formalism, to discuss how meta-strategies emerge in this classical game, even without repetition.
