We propose that the triadic primitives denoting individual roles are multilayer, with positive and negative relations feeding into cost{\textendash}benefit calculations. Through this, we advance a computational theory that generalizes to different scales and to contexts where conflict is not present.{\textless}br{\textgreater}}}, journal = {{Behavioral and Brain Sciences}}, volume = {45}, pages = {46--48}, eid = {e120}, }
