Abstract: Synergy is cooperation in ancient Greek. It is widespread in complex systems, ranging from microbial communities to human societies. Yet cooperative behavior is at odds with evolutionary theory. Traits that help other individuals and not themselves should die out under evolutionary competition. These complex systems are often simulated, but we can provide analytical predictions in some limit cases using evolutionary game theory. In particular, a popular assumption that allows for analytical results is weak selection. Recent experiments, however, suggest that the selection intensity in human strategy updating is non-weak. This leads to a gap between current theory and experiments. We are filling this gap by addressing the robustness of different models. Our findings not only foster an understanding of the current models, but also provide analytical insights to experimental design.
