What’s the harm in requiring prior coordination, considering there’s already a prior agreement to follow a particular protocol involving Ais? (And something earlier on in the context about a shared source of randomness to ensure convexity of the feasible set.)
The actual problem we want to work toward is one where all the prior coordination info is in the environment independent of the particular agents (e.g. the existence of Schelling points), and the agents are just deducing things about each other. For instance, two FairBots work in a source code swap Prisoner’s Dilemma against one another even if written in different programming languages.
I’m willing to accept “accepting a natural ordering on the payoff set” and “accepting a natural set of outcome products” as things that could conceivably be Schelling points in a simple environment, but “know the shape of each others’ fairness sets” looks like an infinite pre-exchange of information that cannot be gleaned from the environment.
(And “generate mutual random bits” is a cooperative thing that can be viewed as an atomic action in the environment.)
