 For example, if Claudia is a constrained maximizer, then in the prisoner’s dilemma depicted in  Figure 5  Claudia will perform if she believes Laura is also a constrained maximizer, but will anticipate if she believes Laura is a straightforward maximizer. One way to understand how constrained maximization modifies an agent’s behavior is to regard adopting one’s principle of rationality as a meta-strategy for engaging in prisoner’s dilemma-like games. If Claudia and Laura each adopt either the straightforward maximizer (SM) or the constrained maximizer (CM) meta-strategy, then the prisoner’s dilemma depicted in  Figure 5  is transformed into the game depicted in  Figure 6  below.
