or "Unaware Adversaries" for short. I am not an academic, and it may show in this paper, but I am an IT-veteran (systems/network engineer, Enterprise Architect) with a restless mind. This started as a humor piece based on an anecdote from when I was in the 4th grade of elementary school in a classroom in an outside temporary building that had both a window-unit and a floor-mounted radiator. I began writing up this anecdote in a faux-academic tone, and ended up with this. Perhaps someone will read it.

I enjoyed a fast read of this and will re-read it. Following from the idea of making system-scoped information available to individual agents, I think a general model needs to include some sense of information processing capacity of agents - like an attention or analysis budget. That includes ability to recognize higher order signal as first order relevant. Information asymmetries are not so much about information but interpretation.

Thanks for reading, and thanks for the feedback!
