Abstract
Identifying and utilizing information is central to reproductive success. We study a scenario where a multicellular colony has to trade-off between utility of strategies for investment in persistence or progeny and the (Shannon-type) relevant information necessary to realize these strategies. We develop a general approach to treat such problems that involve iterated games where utility is determined by iterated play of a strategy and where, in turn, informational processing constraints limit the possible strategies.
