Auction Collusion as Repeated-Game Stable Outcome

What the data actually shows

Existing theories of auction collusion as repeated-game stable outcome treat the phenomenon as isolated rather than as part of a larger polarity-based system.

Why this is necessary

The only stable configuration that allows both maximum informational richness and long-term stability requires auction collusion as repeated-game stable outcome.

What current approaches miss

The deductive step connecting auction collusion as repeated-game stable outcome to the fundamental nature of information and consciousness was never taken.

If this is right

Accelerates progress by revealing that auction collusion as repeated-game stable outcome is not a problem to be solved but a feature to be understood and leveraged.
