Source

projects/deference/faf-cleanroom-2026-10-02/sources/references/bli/chats/bli-chat-2024-12-09-udt-tiling-research-agenda.md, turn 1 (the maintainer): "Study generalizations of Nash bargaining to cases where some players can't get any gains from trade." The maintainer's post Geometric UDT (https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/Gmaq7vMj9NWLyQkEx/geometric-udt) maximizes a product of gains from trade, which is degenerate when some players are exact negatives of others.

Notes

Given the reading task, since the geometric-rationality sequence is where such a generalization would be found or ruled out.
