This is similar to the ultimatum game. Which implies that absent social coordination, a personal solution is for the victim to fine the the medium-transgressor a certain amount in damages, under threat of some probability of cancelling them, with a probability chosen such that the transgressor would be better off just paying the fine.

Yeah. Which sucks, as an equilibrium, which is why I’m fond of groups that can leap to a better one that’s at least as stable.
