What changed
Uses a centralized action-value critic and decentralized actors, marginalizing each agent's action while holding teammates' actions fixed to construct a counterfactual credit-assignment baseline.
Scientific scope
Uses a centralized action-value critic and decentralized actors, marginalizing each agent's action while holding teammates' actions fixed to construct a counterfactual credit-assignment baseline. The baseline is computed from a learned critic, not an exact causal simulator; finite StarCraft micromanagement results do not establish general optimality. Printed Jakob N. Foerster is retained; first two authors are marked equal contributors.
Evidence
The linked original sources describe the stated contribution and its evidence limits. WRS has not independently rerun the experiments or certified a proof.

- Source-listed authors and technical contributors · SCIENCE: Source-listed authors or explicitly credited technical contributors for the cited versions. Family entries retain source-specific attribution; a combined list is not one original-paper byline or equal individual work. Names alone do not establish resolved identities.
Provisional WRS assessment, edition 2026-10-16.1. Independent expert calibration is pending. This grade does not certify correctness or assign ownership.
