5. Experimental Results
Simulations with N=5 agents show convergence to stability pairs within 10-15 steps. The preference matrix evolves from uniform distribution to concentrated values between the stability pair, with other preferences decaying to zero.

class GivingGame:7. Applications and Future Directions
Potential applications include distributed computing resource allocation, cryptocurrency transaction networks, and economic models of clientelism. Future research could explore stochastic strategies, multiple tokens, and dynamic agent sets.

9. Bincike Mai Zurfi
Auna kai tsaye: This paper exposes a fundamental truth about reciprocal systems: they inevitably collapse into bilateral relationships, regardless of initial complexity. The mathematical inevitability of this stabilization reveals why corruption networks and echo chambers form so readily in human and computational systems alike.
Logical chain: The causal chain is brutally elegant: preference-based selection → mutual reinforcement → network simplification → bilateral stabilization. This mirrors real-world phenomena like political patronage systems where favors create self-reinforcing loops. The research demonstrates mathematically what sociologists have observed empirically - that complex networks often devolve into simple reciprocal arrangements.
Highlights and drawbacks: The paper's brilliance lies in its minimalist formalization of a profound social dynamic. The stabilization proof is mathematically sound and has implications far beyond the stated applications. However, the model's rigidity is its Achilles heel - real systems rarely operate with such deterministic preference functions. The assumption that agents always choose maximum preference partners ignores exploration-exploitation tradeoffs well-documented in reinforcement learning literature.
Ƙwararrun aiki: For blockchain designers and distributed system architects, this research sounds a critical warning: naive reciprocal mechanisms will inevitably centralize power. The solution lies in designing anti-fragile systems that resist bilateral collapse through mechanisms like random selection, preference decay, or external incentives. As demonstrated in Bitcoin's proof-of-work versus proof-of-stake debates, systems must actively combat the natural tendency toward stabilization that this paper so elegantly proves.
