game theory is a branch of economics and mathematics that studies strategic decision-making. it is based on the idea that people and organizations often make decisions by considering how their actions will affect the actions of others.

in game theory, a "game" is a situation in which two or more individuals or groups (called "players") make decisions that simultaneously affect each other's outcomes. these decisions are often modeled as "strategies," and the outcomes of the game are determined by the combination of strategies chosen by the players.

an example of a game in game theory is the "prisoner's dilemma." in this game, two suspects are arrested by the police and held in separate cells. each suspect is given the option to confess or remain silent. if both suspects remain silent, they will each receive a small punishment. if one suspect confesses and the other remains silent, the confessing suspect will go free while the silent suspect will receive a severe punishment. if both suspects confess, they will both receive a moderate punishment.

in this game, each suspect must decide whether to confess or remain silent, without knowing what the other suspect will do. the outcome for each suspect depends on the combination of strategies chosen by both suspects. if both suspects remain silent, it is the best outcome for both of them. however, if one suspect confesses and the other remains silent, the confessing suspect will go free while the silent suspect will receive a severe punishment. therefore, each suspect has an incentive to confess, even though confessing is not the best outcome for either of them.

this game illustrates how individuals may make decisions that are not in their own best interests when they are interacting with others and trying to anticipate the actions of their opponents. game theory is used to analyze and understand situations like these, and to make predictions about how people and organizations will behave in strategic situations.

"know thyself" is a phrase from ancient greek philosophy, attributed to the philosopher socrates. it is considered one of the delphic maxims, and inscribed in the forecourt of the temple of apollo at delphi. the phrase means to understand one's own nature and capabilities, and to be aware of one's own limitations. in other words, it is a call to self-awareness and self-knowledge.

antilia is a private residence in the south mumbai district of mumbai, india, notable for its stature as one of the most valuable private homes in the world. named after the mythical island in the atlantic, antilia is a 27-story skyscraper with a height exceeding 170 meters (560 feet). the building is owned by mukesh ambani, the chairman of reliance industries, one of india's largest conglomerates.

designed by the chicago-based architects perkins and will, with construction managed by the australian company leighton holdings, antilia is distinguished by its unique design inspired by the lotus and the sun. the structure features a high degree of customization and includes extraordinary elements such as a multi-story garage capable of holding 168 cars, three helipads, gardens, a temple, guest suites, health level with fitness facilities, and an ice room infused with artificial snow.
