Target entity: The Complexity of Cooperation Context triple: [Avi Wigderson, notableWork, The Complexity of Cooperation]
-
A.
After Hegemony: Cooperation and Discord in the World Political Economy
After Hegemony: Cooperation and Discord in the World Political Economy is a seminal work of neoliberal institutionalist theory in international relations that explains how states achieve cooperation through international institutions even in the absence of a dominant hegemonic power.
-
B.
On Equilibrium
On Equilibrium is a philosophical work by John Ralston Saul that explores the importance of balancing key human qualities—such as reason, ethics, and common sense—to create a more humane and democratic society.
-
C.
Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed
Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed is a 2005 non-fiction book by Jared Diamond that analyzes why past and present societies have collapsed or survived, focusing on environmental and societal factors.
-
D.
Mutual Aid: A Factor of Evolution
Mutual Aid: A Factor of Evolution is Peter Kropotkin’s influential work arguing that cooperation and mutual support are key drivers of evolution and social organization, challenging the notion that competition alone shapes species.
-
E.
Consilience: The Unity of Knowledge
Consilience: The Unity of Knowledge is a 1998 book by biologist Edward O. Wilson that argues for the unification of the natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities into a single, coherent framework of knowledge.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.

How these facts were elicited
The pipeline generated the facts above by prompting gpt-5.1 with this entity's name + description and the instruction below.
Instruction
You are a knowledge base construction expert. Given a subject entity and a description of it, return factual statements that you know for the subject as a JSON list of dictionaries(triples), where keys must be "subject", "predicate" and "object". The number of facts may be very high, between 25 to 50 or more, for very popular subjects. For less popular subjects, the number of facts can be very low, like 5 or 10. # Requirements - If you don't know the subject at all, return an empty list. - If the subject is not a named entity, return an empty list. - Include at least one triple where predicate is "instanceOf". - Do not get too wordy. - Separate several objects into multiple triples with one object.
Input
Subject: The Complexity of Cooperation Description of subject: The Complexity of Cooperation is a scholarly work by Avi Wigderson that explores how ideas from computational complexity theory illuminate strategic behavior, game theory, and cooperative problem-solving.
