Geenikoopiad

Geenikoopiad is a fictional concept used in speculative fiction and thought experiments to describe a hypothetical agent or organism that consistently rejects cooperative strategies in a shared-resource environment.

Etymology and usage: The name is a neologism blending the Dutch geen ('no') with a taxonomy-inspired suffix (-iad) to signal a distinct class, specifically a 'no-cooperation' archetype within fictional ecosystems or models.

Characteristics and dynamics: A geenikoopiad typically acts to maximize individual gain, avoids mutual aid, and incurs cost to others if it benefits itself. In models, its presence can destabilize cooperative equilibria, intensify competition for resources, and illuminate conditions under which cooperation can emerge or fail.

In fiction and analysis: The concept appears in worldbuilding prompts, strategy games, and discussions of game theory, social dilemmas, and AI alignment as a tool to explore the consequences of sustained non-cooperation.

Note: Geenikoopiad is not a scientifically defined taxon; it is a fictional construct used for narrative and theoretical discussion.
