Doc probably visited RAND in Santa Monica which was the mother-ship 
of game theory and a nest of wargamers (re Thomas Schelling as 
mentioned early on by that loose canon on the deck, Alice).  Could be 
a game of "Fuck You Buddy" (John Nash 1950 at RAND).
Nash's games require defection from collaboration at some point to 
receive a better payoff than cooperation would give.
Does Shasta defect? No. We don't know who her handlers are.
Does Penny defect? No. She's true to her primary loyalties.
There is a significant amount of cooperation and defection among the 
prisoners and ex-prisoners.  VL had loads of incentivized misbehavior 
of characters gaming the system. IV doesn't have that but is pure game
