So imagine if you were playing a game of soccer, but there were three teams, each defending a goal, and the teams could form alliances and break them at any time, because the goals you concede count as much as the goals each of the three scores?
It’s all kind of confusing, but it happens from time to time, and Sid Lowe explains its fascinating effects and origin — if you’re familiar with Situationist philosophy, you’ll get this right off the bat, and if psychology is more your bag, it’s an interesting twist that brings a sort of Prisoner’s Dilemma to the pitch.
