Compositionality and String Diagrams for Game Theory
[article]
2016
arXiv
pre-print
We introduce string diagrams as a formal mathematical, graphical language to represent, compose, program and reason about games. ...
We apply this language to the game theoretical setting and show examples how to use it for some economic games where we highlight the compositional nature of our higher-order game theory. ...
We establish a close connection between the formal theory and the computer code: The string diagrams are directly translatable into the functional programming language Haskell. 4. ...

Compositional game theory
[article]
2018
arXiv
pre-print
Open games can be represented by string diagrams which provide an intuitive but formal visualisation of the information flows. ...
A compositional approach potentially allows methods of game theory and theoretical computer science to be applied to large-scale economic models for which standard economic tools are not practical. ...
STRING DIAGRAMS We will now informally present the string diagram language for open games. ...

The algebra of predicting agents
[article]
2018
arXiv
pre-print
The category of open games, which provides a strongly compositional foundation of economic game theory, is intermediate between symmetric monoidal and compact closed. ...
We explore the algebraic properties of these agents via the symmetric monoidal bicategory whose 2-cells are morphisms between open games, and show how the resulting structure approximates a compact closed ...
A general open game G : (X, S) → (Y, R) is denoted by a string diagram of the form X Y R S G In the string diagram language, a set on the left of a pair always labels a wire pointing forwards, and a set ...

Composing games into complex institutions
[article]
2021
arXiv
pre-print
Game theory is used by all behavioral sciences, but its development has long centered around tools for relatively simple games and toy systems, such as the economic interpretation of equilibrium outcomes ...
Our contribution, compositional game theory, permits another approach of equally general appeal: the high-level design of large games for expressing complex architectures and representing real-world institutions ...

The game semantics of game theory
[article]
2020
arXiv
pre-print
We use a reformulation of compositional game theory to reunite game theory with game semantics, by viewing an open game as the System and its choice of contexts as the Environment. ...
The goal of the system is to play a Nash equilibrium, and the goal of the environment is to prevent it. ...
Compositional game theory [Hed16, GHWZ18] , as its name suggests, is an attempt to introduce the principle of compositionality into game theory, motivated by practical concerns about modelling large ( ...

Compositional Abstraction Error and a Category of Causal Models
[article]
2021
arXiv
pre-print
We introduce a category of finite interventional causal models and, leveraging theory of enriched categories, prove the desired compositionality properties for our framework. ...
Here, we argue that compositionality is a desideratum for such model transformations and the associated errors: When abstracting a reference model M iteratively, first obtaining M' and then further simplifying ...
Acknowledgements We thank the anonymous reviewers for their constructive comments that helped improve the interdisciplinary presentation. SW was supported by the Carlsberg Foundation. ...

Towards Functorial Language-Games
[article]
2018
arXiv
pre-print
We illustrate the theory using simple examples of Wittgenstein's language-games. ...
We compositionally build game-theoretic semantics of sentences by taking the semantic category to be the category whose morphisms are open games. ...
We denote ε X by the string diagram X X Given a set X , we write X for X 1 and X for 1 X . ...

Coherence for lenses and open games
[article]
2017
arXiv
pre-print
Categories of polymorphic lenses in computer science, and of open games in compositional game theory, have a curious structure that is reminiscent of compact closed categories, but differs in some crucial ...
We precisely define a diagrammatic language suitable for these categories, and prove a coherence theorem for them. ...

Here, we present an original methodology to achieve this task, which requires to combine advanced tools from game semantics, rewriting theory and categorical algebra. ...
This work thus bridges algebra and denotational semantics in order to reveal the structure of dependencies induced by first-order quantifiers, and lays the foundations for a mechanized analysis of causality ...
