Transcendental values are necessary for long-term stability because every formal, explicitly specified protocol is permanently exposed to strategies that subvert it, a result the authors draw from the Folk Theorems of game theory.
Source quote, verbatim
By the insights gleaned from the Folk Theo- rems of Game Theory, transcendental values are necessary to maintain long-term sta- bility in the face of ever-present strategies for subverting any formal, explicitly-speci- fied protocol.
