In politics, see also Coalition government. In mathematics, coalitions can be studied as games. The Nash equilibrium defines conditions where rational players can benefit other players in the coalition. In the computer field, and in the study of cognition, the entities can be called agents or daemons. By definition, agents can form coalitions.
