Checked the Rousseau attribution, 1755 publication date and deer/hare passage; the distinction between that verbal narrative and the later formal two-player game; the illustrative payoff table and assumptions; best responses, pure Nash equilibria, payoff-dominance and the risk-dominance condition; the contrast with the Prisoner's Dilemma; evolutionary and many-player extensions; and whether present-day applications and social-contract readings are identified as interpretive framing. The status records source traceability, not a judgment that a specific application is apt, a general prediction about institutions, an exhaustive literature review, or expert review.",
      "summary": "The revised article distinguishes Rousseau's qualitative hunting narrative from the later formal game and explicitly identifies the payoff table as illustrative. It explains the two equilibria and why the stag outcome is payoff-dominant while the hare outcome is risk-dominant for these particular payoffs under the equal-likelihood criterion. It clarifies the strategic difference from the Prisoner's Dilemma, qualifies evolutionary and many-player extensions, and labels modern applications and social-contract readings as interpretations rather than implications of the matrix. The primary translated passage, relevant sections of the SEP entry, and relevant passages of Skyrms were read; a Britannica work entry was consulted for the publication date. Dataset metadata and the three revised Further Reading references were reconciled; the dataset itself was not edited.",
