There's an iterated solution (no link) for more than two players.  Say
two GAs encounter the same resource (or if some is left after they've
begun consuming)-- i.e., encounter each other, a strict survival-of-
fittest can arise among a population, even leading to specialization
and organ.

I'm not sure if time factors in however, i.e. whether GAs are useful
in spacetime; bacteria Firmicute produce spores to guard during
stress.  What do ideal structures have in common with real ones?; and
if so, does you-split-i-pick yield anything useful in ideality?  What
are ideal bacteria, what do they want, and are they interesting?
