Comment on "General nonlocality in quantum fields"
In this paper, we first incorporate the weak interaction into the theory of
General Nonlocality by finding a appropriate metric for it. Accordingly, we
suggest the theoretical frame of General Nonlocality as the candidate theory of
unifying three microscope interactions in low energy limit. In this unifying
scenario, the essential role of photon field is stressed.Comment: Only partial content published in the following reference. The part

Cycle frequency in standard Rock-Paper-Scissors games: Evidence from experimental economics
The Rock-Paper-Scissors (RPS) game is a widely used model system in game
theory. Evolutionary game theory predicts the existence of persistent cycles in
the evolutionary trajectories of the RPS game, but experimental evidence has
remained to be rather weak. In this work we performed laboratory experiments on
the RPS game and analyzed the social-state evolutionary trajectories of twelve
populations of N=6 players. We found strong evidence supporting the existence
of persistent cycles. The mean cycling frequency was measured to be period per experimental round. Our experimental observations can be
quantitatively explained by a simple non-equilibrium model, namely the
discrete-time logit dynamical process with a noise parameter. Our work
therefore favors the evolutionary game theory over the classical game theory
for describing the dynamical behavior of the RPS game.Comment: 7 Page, 3 figure; Keyword: Rock-Paper-Scissors game; cycle; social
