Nash Equilibrium
A solution concept in non-cooperative game theory, formulated by John Forbes Nash Jr. in 1950 and recognized with the 1994 Nobel Prize in Economics. A Nash equilibrium is a set of strategies in a multi-player game where no player can improve their outcome by unilaterally changing strategy, assuming every other player holds theirs fixed. Foundational to modern economics, biology, network design, and AI. The platform takes its name from the concept: logistics is exactly this kind of multi-player game, and Nash's job is to find and hold the equilibrium point across shippers, carriers, fleets, and customers.
