Abstract

An equilibrium exists between strategies which are noisy and have bounded recall and considering this equilibrium the sufficiently greater recall enjoys an advantage that is increasing in the original level of recall and so capturing the Red Queen effect. Strategic rationality is under natural selection and the selection pressure to reduce a small amount of noise is less than that to increase recall.
