Cooperative ScoringWithin a healthy community,
especially with a family, there is sufficient give and take that
cooperating scoring is a more natural alternative to
competitive scoring. Individuals behave
altruistically to those for whom they have sufficient
sympathy; they are willingly suffer a small loss
so that those close to them can enjoy a large gain.

The blue lines in the diagram above are 90 degrees rotated from the
contours of equal cash transfer in the standard, competitive scoring system.
Although a radical alternative to traditional economic scoring systems,
the scoring system above still flawed; since it does not measuring value imbalance
(which competitive scoring does), it is unsuitable for
scoring interactions between people without a high degree of
sympathy for one another.
No single dimension of value can capture both people's feelings about
a transaction - which is why
multi-dimensional scoring is superior.
