They are sequential hemaphrodites! All born male and when they inherit an anemone they develop into females. Each group has a dominant female, a smaller breeding male and a queue of progressively smaller underdeveloped males helpers. Such a cool system!

It is likely then that cooperation in A. percula is driven by direct fitness benefits via inheritance or pay-to-stay type mechanisms!

yes more acc the branch of middle english leading to english. old-english used a partative genitive (i think; I am only a hobby linguist). I think the key point is zero was introduced and naturally replaces "no" or the indication of an absence of stuff, so takes a partative construction.

At least that's my understanding! But I haven't opened a linguistics book in 10 years so could be wrong!

The branch leading to English used to have a dual class (two things only) so it's not unreasonable language may develop a null class of grammatical number some day.

Lots of confusion here. It's not about singular/plural.

Zero came after English grammar stabilised, we used the partative for no things: I have no marbles.

English partative looks like the plural sometimes. So it's confusing ppl.

I've been thinking about the same thing and came across economics-games.com

Not sure how well it works but looks good from small scale testing.

Now I'm finally on holiday I have time for pointless projects right?

I went ahead and calculated the graph for heterozygote dive combinations for the 3 set non transitive dice.

The missing link between olive-red and blue-blue is a tie.

Which then led me to the equally cool, non-transitive dice.
