About

GameTactic

Features
Read full description

GameTactic leverages game theory to determine the best strategies, including dominant plays and Nash equilibria, in two-player normal-form games. Users can select from preset games like the prisoner's dilemma, pure coordination, battle of the sexes, rock-paper-scissors, and game of chicken. After selecting a game, GameTactic identifies its optimal strategies and equilibria, allowing users to adjust payoffs and evaluate their implications. Additionally, you have the flexibility to design a custom game, defining strategies and associated payoffs. Currently, our platform focuses on identifying strict dominant strategies and pure and completely mixed Nash equilibria, with plans to expand to weakly dominant strategies and for partially mixed Nash equilibria in future versions.

The Gateway Process is a 1983 U.S. Army intelligence assessment of the Monroe Institute's techniques for altering consciousness — originally classified, now fully declassified by the CIA. This app turns that 29-page document into something you can actually read, understand, and follow. 13 files. 5 stages. One guided path from "what is this?" to advanced practice. THE DOCUMENT In 1983, U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel Wayne McDonnell was asked to evaluate a program called the Gateway Experience — a set of audio techniques designed to synchronize the brain's hemispheres, induce deep relaxation, and ultimately move consciousness beyond the physical body. His assessment, filed under CIA-RDP96-00788R001700210016-5, draws on neuroscience, quantum physics, and holographic universe theory to explain why and how the techniques work. It was declassified in 2003. THE APP Gateway breaks the document into 13 tappable files organized across five progressive stages — Understand, Learn the Method, Grasp the Theory, Practice, and Operate. Each file presents the original content in clear, structured sections: prose explanations, numbered step-by-step instructions, and highlighted field notes from the original text. The Progress tab tracks what you've read and unlocks stages sequentially — because every concept in the Gateway Process builds on the one before it. BUILT-IN BINAURAL BEAT GENERATOR The document's core mechanism is Hemi-Sync: two slightly different audio frequencies, one in each ear, that cause the brain to generate a third frequency internally. This app includes a real binaural beat synthesizer — not recordings, but live audio generated on your device using AVAudioEngine. Choose from 8 target states (Delta through Focus 21) and listen through headphones. Stereo separation is required for the effect to work. PRIVACY No accounts. No tracking. No network requests. Your reading progress and bookmarks are stored on your device and never leave it.
