This is a very short expression of the idea. In Axelrod’s book it was called Tit-for-Tat. That is also an expression in common usage and carries a lot of baggage (cultural and biblical including revenge and vendetta) to avoid this baggage and get closer to Axelrod’s intent I use the term reciprocity.
It is still actively debated and was originally more developed in
