Merrill Meeks Flood (1908 – 1991) was an American mathematician, notable for developing, with Melvin Dresher, the basis of the game theoretical Prisoner's dilemma model of cooperation and conflict while being at RAND in 1950 (Albert W. Tucker gave the game its prison-sentence interpretation, and thus the name by which it is known today).
The game name Agent comes from Albert W. Tucker.
The name of the game came from Albert's prison sentence interpretation.  Thus he gave the game its name.
