Game theory is one of the areas that CompSci and Psych overlap, especially, neuropsychology - very interesting because of the complex dynamics. Imagine yourself in a poker game where gradually, over time, 2 pair beat a straight flush. That is the definition of consciousness and maybe even life, IMO: the game in which a player can unilaterally or collectively change the underlying odds of the system which contains it.

My better half studied psychology and my ignorance of that, coupled with her ignorance of philosophy have led to a number of interesting conversations, shall we say.

ROFL! Let's just say I'm delighted that you have people to play with here WRT philosophy.
