The Transfer of Game-Theoretic Models: Formal Templates, Unification, and Scientific Progress.

The presentation examined the transfer of game-theoretic models by advancing two central claims. First, it was argued that such transfer occurred through the gradual design and accumulation of formal templates employed in model construction — a process described as formal template accumulation. Second, while this process was not considered to constitute scientific progress in itself, it was shown to play a contributory role in enabling or supporting such progress.
