Anchor fast decisions
The snipe pecks the clam, the clam clamps the snipe, and neither yields, leading to mutual destruction, while the fisherman benefits. The mechanism is 'zero-sum deadlock + third-party arbitrage'—when both parties fall into a cycle of confrontation and ignore common external threats, resources are depleted by internal strife, allowing a bystander third party to harvest at minimal cost.
