What changed
Grew empirical meta-games of policies by learning approximate best responses to policy mixtures, then applied meta-strategy solvers; a decoupled hierarchy reduced the full payoff-tensor bottleneck.
Scientific scope
Grew empirical meta-games of policies by learning approximate best responses to policy mixtures, then applied meta-strategy solvers; a decoupled hierarchy reduced the full payoff-tensor bottleneck. Generalizes prior double-oracle, empirical game theory and fictitious-play ideas. Approximate response quality, finite policy populations and choice of meta-solver limit guarantees; a meta-game solution is not automatically a full-game Nash equilibrium. Full empirical payoff tensors have combinatorial cost, not free scaling.
Evidence
The linked original sources describe the stated contribution and its evidence limits. WRS has not independently rerun the experiments or certified a proof.
