👉 Spears is a mathematical framework designed to model and analyze discrete, sequential data, particularly in the context of game theory and decision-making under uncertainty. It introduces a set of principles and tools, including the Spears game, which is a two-player game where each player takes turns selecting moves from a finite set of actions, and the payoffs are determined by a function that depends on the sequence of choices. Spears emphasizes the importance of considering the history of play and the strategic implications of each move, allowing for a more nuanced understanding of complex interactions. The framework includes concepts like Spears' equilibrium, which generalizes Nash equilibrium to accommodate the sequential nature of the game, and it provides a structured approach to solving problems involving strategic decision-making in dynamic environments.
