be fruitfully combined with multi-stage programming (staging), leading to a

fitness interdependence & the effect of honest gossip, the gossiper should
always be honest (dishonest); however, in the case of a partial match, the
gossiper should make a choice based on their fitness interdependence with the
receiver & the target & the marginal cost/benefit in terms of pay-off
differences caused by possible choices of the receiver & the target in the
game. Moreover, gossipers can use this simple rule to make optimal decisions
even under noise. We discuss empirical examples that support the predictions
of our model & potential extensions."
